Could you just triple check the file name in public and in the url you are typing. I believe the webserver looks in public first and only goes on to look at routing if it cannot find it there. Does it work if you ask for index.html? Is so I suspect a simple error somewhere. Perhaps you have a space on the end of the filename for example. You could try renaming the file to what you think it already is. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
