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

Question

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. But the ruby on rails course is telling me that if I go to 0.0.0.0:3000 I should straight go to my status link.

Another issue, before it wasn't like this, but when i go to the status link, 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

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

my application.html.erb file is under app/views/layouts/application.html.erb

you will need to make a change in your routes file to make the root path route to the index action of your statuses controller:

right now there is a line in your routes file that looks like this:

# root 'welcome#index'

uncomment the line and change it to:

root 'statuses#index'

as for the css error, you have a . at the end of the class name in your statuses.css file:

.status. {
    border-bottom: solid 1px #CCC;
    padding: 5px 0;

    }
    .status p {
    margin: 4px;
    }
}

remove the . so that it looks like this:

.status {
    border-bottom: solid 1px #CCC;
    padding: 5px 0;

    }
    .status p {
    margin: 4px;
    }
}
