Routing

[Frisco Del Rosario]

After config/routes.rb is edited with

root :to => "salute#hello"

Why does localhost/salute/hello return a routing error?

Frisco,

is your url http://localhost:3000/salute/hello

or were you putting localhost/salute/hello into the url?

The URL was correct.

Bigger problems at the moment. MySQL isn't creating a socket at
startup.

I've found that generating the scaffold before generating models or
controllers set things straight.

I don't understand why.

Frisco,

Typically the issue will stem back to the route type. I will be going over get / post / put / delete CRUD tonight, basically the routing can block certain types of page requests.

get "controller/action" will accept get parameters, but won't accept post variables from page to page

post "controller/action" will only accept post parameters inbound from a form or another outlet, this helps to further control the application based on security measures. It is also a pain to get used to!
