Routing Error No route matches [GET] “/static_pages/home”, tutorial

Question

When I run server browser show me something like this:

Routing Error

No route matches [GET] \"/static_pages/home\"

Try running rake routes for more informa         


        

Answer 1

There is no route set for the url '/static_pages/home'

Although root points to static_pages controller with action home, it still responds to the path '/' and not '/static_pages/home'

If you add

match '/static_pages/home', :to =>'static_pages#home'

You will get the expected response for '/static_pages/home'
