Route error in rails demo app

I have created a simple hello world application in Rails (4.1.4) in Aptana Studio 3.

The problem is whenever I am running the server and try to access localhost:3000, everything is fine but when I try to access the application with localhost:3000/greet/index, I get the following error message :

Routing Error

No route matches [GET] "/greet/index"

Rails.root: D:/WorkSpace/demo_rails

Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace Routes

Routes match in priority from top to bottom

You don't have any routes defined!

Please add some routes in config/routes.rb. For more information about routes, please see the Rails guide Rails Routing from the Outside In.

Solution

    1. Read error message. It says you do not have any routes. Open the recommended in error message materials and read those.

    2. add root to: 'greet#index' to routes.

    Recommendation: always check error message carefully, Rails are smart enough to provide you with fully helpful hints in those.
