13,916 PointsYou can do:
root to: 'chatters#index'
or
root 'chatters#index'
Both will work just fine and in the same way. If you are still getting the error, post your routes.rb file so we can take a look.
Chester Law
11,620 PointsIn your routes file, it should just be "root" instead of "root-to:". In general, Ruby doesn't use dashes much. So "root 'chatters#index'" is what you want for that line.

6,168 Pointsbut i didn't change it, i don't think so.. so i just changed it and saved it, and i exited the terminal went back into my app and tried it again, and try to install it again, but it's still a not working?? that's a bit weird.
Chester Law
11,620 PointsYes, those both seem fine, but he's doing "root-to" with a dash. And that's what's causing it to crash.
Kelvin Knighton
6,168 Pointsit worked guys! yeppe although i did type:$ bin/rails generate devise:install i start working on odot rails app, he uses bin alot so i thought i would give it a try.
