Generating the Devise Views: Routing Error

The Video: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/programming-2/build-a-simple-version-of-facebook/creating-an-authentication-system/generating-the-devise-views

I was following along in this video on creating Devise views. After I entered the code from 1:00-1:55, I refreshed the Treebook page. Instead of showing a new view, it gave me this error:

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

I have no idea what happened. I couldn't find any errors in what I typed. Here is my code from views/devise/registrations/new.html.erb:

<h2>Sign up</h2>

<%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url =>     registration_path(resource_name)) do |f| %>
<%= devise_error_messages! %>

<div><%= f.label :first_name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :first_name %></div>

<div><%= f.label :last_name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :last_name %></div>

<div><%= f.label :profile_name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :profile_name %></div>

<div><%= f.label :email %><br />
<%= f.email_field :email, :autofocus => true %></div>

<div><%= f.label :password %><br />
<%= f.password_field :password %></div>

<div><%= f.label :password_confirmation %><br />
<%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %></div>

<div><%= f.submit "Sign up" %></div>
<% end %>

<%= render "devise/shared/links" %>

Just for kicks, here are the first few lines of routes.rb:

Treebook::Application.routes.draw do
devise_for :users

resources :statuses

Any idea what could have gone wrong?

Try adding the following to your routes.rb file:

root to: 'statuses#index'

Ah, thank you Jason. I just reviewed the video for installing Devise, and saw the place where you gave those instructions. http://bit.ly/xErIWz

I did that and I still get the routing error

Nevermind, I figured out what I did wrong. I typed in the address incorrectly
