For some reason, when I try to go to 0.0.0.0:3000 it still takes me to the: Welcome aboard... You’re riding Ruby on Rail

It takes me to the You’re riding Ruby on Rails! screen to access the site with statuses i have to go to 0.0.0.0:3000/statuses

Also now that I'm on that screen I'm getting this:

Sass::SyntaxError in Statuses#index Showing /Users/a/Desktop/treebook/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb where line #5 raised:

Invalid CSS after ".status.": expected class name, was " {" (in /Users/a/Desktop/treebook/app/assets/stylesheets/statuses.css.scss:4)

Extracted source (around line #5).... this is from application.html.erb

<html> <head> <title>Treebook</title> <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %> <%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %> <%= csrf_meta_tags %> </head>

The error seems to lie in?

<%= stylesheet_link_tag    'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>

Yes, it's in your routes.rb file, under config.

You need to tell it to root to somewhere.

You'll see there's a comment in your routes file to that effect:

# You can have the root of your site routed with "root"
# root 'welcome#index'

So to fix your problem, you will have to do something like

root 'statuses#index'

Do you have your code in a Github repo?

If so, could you please post a link to that?

Try looking in your routes file. Is there anything in there?
