This was created earlier when you ran the controller generator (`rails generate controller welcome index`). +You should also remove the `public/index.html` file because it might otherwise take precedence over the routes defined in `config/routes.rb`. + If you navigate to <http://localhost:3000> in your browser, you'll see the `Hello, Rails!` message you put into `app/views/welcome/index.html.erb`, indicating that this new route is indeed going to `WelcomeController`'s `index` action and is rendering the view correctly. TIP: For more information about routing, refer to [Rails Routing from the Outside In](routing.html). |
