Problem deploying app to Heroku using instructions in video

An error message is showing in the browser that "the page you were looking for doesn't exist." I looked online and it seems that a root route will solve the problem. However, I have no idea how to add one or do I know what this is. How can I add one? Your help is much appreciated!

You should have covered routing in the following video:

http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-ruby-on-rails-application/designing-urls/creating-custom-routes

In which the route route is defined as:

route to: 'statuses#index'

Hope that gets you up and running!
