Question

Ive created a new page in the public/ folder called hello.html (for example).

But for some reason, whenever I try to access it I recieve a routing error.

The response my server gives is..

Started GET "/hello.html" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-03-04 17:39:29 +0000

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/hello.html"):

I believe this is an issue with ActionController being over-zelous but have no idea on how to fix it.

Any ideas?

Solution

what ever you are doing. you are looking at the wrong stuff.

i just cloned your repo and ran the app:

~ curl "http://localhost:3000/hello.html"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Greetings!</title>
    <body>
        </body>
        <p>Hello World!</p>
    </head>
</html>%

OTHER TIPS

Rails doesn't require the extension. You should be able to get to your static page by simply going to /hello.
