I understand the idea of having apache serving static content but anyways what do you think about this as i am with similar question in mind. #controller class HomeController < ApplicationController
def index page = params['page'] if page begin render "page_views/" + page rescue ActionView::MissingTemplate render "errors/404.html", :status=> 404 end end end end #router as the last 2 lines after all options have been excluded match '/:page' => 'home#index' , :as=> :page root :to => "home#index" Would this be good practice? Might be raw but it does the job for my needs.
