map.root is not working in rails 2.3

map.ro开发者_开发知识库ot :controller => "main", :action => "index"

is not redirecting the main controller to home page to localhost:3000

any suggestions?

Have you deleted index.html?

you must delete public/index.html

I found someone else who had had the same problem. Turns out that Passenger is running in production mode whilst my app was in development mode.

I put Passenger into development mode by adding the following line to my Virtual Hosts file

RailsEnv = development

Restarted Apache and it all works!!

Phew!
