Route appears in rake routes, but not on site

Question

I'm new to ruby on rails, and I'm having trouble getting up to speed. I've set up devise for user authentication, and everything seemed to be going well. Until I tried to get routes set up

Basically, I've deleted my /public/index.html, and I've set a new default route. Here's my /config/routes.rb

MyApp::Application.routes.draw do
  authenticated :user do
    root :to => 'home#index'
  end
  root :to => "home#index"
  devise_for :users
end

Okay, so that seems simple enough. I generated a home controller/view. My index.html.erb is just the default. My controller is also blank.

When I run rake routes, I can see the route to the root.

root       /      home#index
root       /      home#index

So this seems like a go! But...It's not. I get an error when I try and open my index

No route matches [GET] "/"

I don't feel like the details of my server should be significant, but it's nginx. I can post my server configuration if anyone thinks it's important.

Answer 1

Blargh. I'm an idiot. The server configuration I though wouldn't matter was the problem. I had edited my nginx settings, but I left the default in Unicorn. I never noticed before now, since the /public/index.html in both the unnecessary app and my app were the same. Thanks for all the help though.

You should be add resources :homes

MyApp::Application.routes.draw do
      resources :homes
      root :to => "home#index"
      devise_for :users
    end
