Routing to static html page in /public

Question

How can I route /foo to display /public/foo.html in Rails?

Answer 1

E.g in Rails 4 add the following route:

get '/example', :to => redirect('example.html')

Also you need to enable static files from the 'public' directory in your configuration:

config.serve_static_files = true

OR

config.serve_static_assets = true

Also you might need to provide your public directory as root in NGINX configuration.
