rails not rendering pages in users controller

When I go to any page, in the home_controller for example, I will see:

Started GET "/" for 127.0.0.1 at Wed Aug 03 12:32:32 -0400 2011
Processing by HomeController#index as HTML
Rendered home/index.html.erb within layouts/home (5.8ms)
Completed 200 OK in 49ms (Views: 48.0ms | ActiveRecord: 0.0ms)

And the page HomeController#index renders/loads perfectly.

However, if I go to a page, like index in the user_controller (localhost:3000/user), nothing changes in the console, but in my b开发者_Python百科rowser I get a stale view with stale data. I do not understand why this is happening. I've reinstalled ruby, rails and their dependencies. Caching is turned off. Any changes made the to user_controller or user views, doesn't make a difference. What I see in the browser is stale. I don't get it!

Perhaps it isn't actually rendering what you think it is?

• Can you still access the user controller pages if your server is turned off?
• Are there perhaps files in the public folder that would override your user-controller views?
• Try restarting your machine? Perhaps some rogue ruby processes are messing with you.
