What's in your routes.rb? This could be a catch-all route firing. In Ryan Bates' Railscast on semi-static pages, he mentions that a completely empty controller will work as long as there is a properly named view file at the expected path. I tried it in a quick test app, but it didn't work in vanilla 3.2. Walter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
