I'm having trouble setting the home page as root in my application.
In the file config/routes.rb I have already made several attempts like:
root :to => 'static_pages#home'
and
root 'static_pages#home'
But none works, I'm working with it like this:
get 'home' => 'static_pages#home'
What is the correct syntax for by as root?
According to the Ruby on Rails documentation to create a route to root just do the same as your second example.
It can be root to: 'static_pages#home' or root 'static_pages#home' .
Remembering that in this example static_pages would be your controller and home your action .
Obs: For old versions of Ruby on Rails it is recommended to delete your file " /public/index.html ".
