Rails: redirect all unknown routes to root_url

Question

Whenever a user hits the wrong page, rails shows 404.html from the public folder. However, I\'d like just to redirect the browser to the root page, without showing anything.

Answer 1

You need create a controller to do that

class RedirectsController 

  def index
    redirect_to root_url
  end
end

And in your routes

map.connect '*', :controller => 'redirects', :action => 'index'
