Unknown error with route.rb

Hey I am new to Rails and I keep getting this error whenever I ever go to localhost: 3000 /

Routing error

No route match [GET] "/" Try running rake routes for more information on available routes.

This is what the routes.rb file looks like.

SampleApp::Application.routes.draw do
  get "static_pages/about"
  get "static_pages/contact"
  get "static_pages/help"
  get "static_pages/home"

end

and the folder with my views looks like this:

views/static_pages/about.html.erb
views/static_pages/contact.html.erb
views/static_pages/help.html.erb
views/static_pages/home.html.erb

I ran the rake routes command and got this:

Davids-MacBook-Air:sample_app DavidStevenson$ rake routes
   static_pages_home GET /static_pages/home(.:format)    static_pages#home
   static_pages_help GET /static_pages/help(.:format)    static_pages#help
  static_pages_about GET /static_pages/about(.:format)   static_pages#about
static_pages_contact GET /static_pages/contact(.:format) static_pages#contact

Any ideas on what is going wrong?

You just forgot to define your root route. Place this at the end of your file routes

:

root to: 'static_pages#home'

You will now see the static_pages_home page when you visit localhost:3000/

.

Check out this guide for all route information.



EDIT

This is how your file looks like routes

:

SampleApp::Application.routes.draw do
  get "static_pages/about"
  get "static_pages/contact"
  get "static_pages/help"
  get "static_pages/home"

  root to: 'static_pages#home'
end

You do not have a root route and is "/"

trying to match it. Put it at the end.



# config/routes.rb
root to: "static_page#home"

add root route

root :to => 'static_pages#home'

put it at the end of the routes block
