Question

Am I configuring the default route correctly? Currently my route is set to:

root :to => 'proto#index'

When I do I am receiving the following error:

AbstractController::ActionNotFound (The action 'index' could not be found for ProtoController):

What file do I need to change?

Answer 1

You are looking for app/controllers/proto_controller.rb

It should contain something like the following

class ProtoController < ApplicationController

  def index
  end

end

Then you want to make a file at app/views/proto/index.html.erb that contains the html for the page.
