I think that you want to look at /public/index.html after you boot up the server. However, check routes.rb in the config directory to see if they specified a new starting point.
something like map.root :controller => 'something', :action => 'index' and i'd have to agree with Darian -- if you don't know enough about Rails as to where to start looking for stuff you might want to run through some tutorials first. I am no expert on Rails, been learning it for about 3 months now and I still get lost all the time. At the very last, take a look at... http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/quickstart/ http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ You probably don't want to go off into a wild abandon and try to start fixing an application without knowing how the language and how the framework works. just my .02 cents Steven Elliott Jr On Nov 18, 2009, at 1:32 PM, Alex wrote: > Am new to ruby on rails. > I'm helping troubleshoot a web site written in ruby on rails. > I've ftp'd the site to my local machine. > And I'm trying to run it in "aptana rad rails" to emulate the browsing > experience and find out where the site is crashing. > > What is the equivalent of the "index.html" file in ruby on rails? > I'm not sure where to point rad rails to start the emulation. > > Sorry this is such a noob post, but all the online tutorials I can > find are more about programming in ruby on rails, and not a crash > course in how to get in and troubleshoot. > > Thanks, > Alex > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
