Subject: RoR on WinXP/Apache

I'm trying to get typo up on my local box (WinXP).

When I hit localhost, I get the "Congratulations, you've put Ruby on
Rails!" screen.

When I hit localhost/typo, I get:

-------------------------------
Routing Error

No route for path: "typo"

Failure reasons:

   1. <ActionController::Routing::Route ":controller/service.wsdl" when
{:action=>"wsdl"}> failed because no controller found at subpath typo
   2. <ActionController::Routing::Route ":controller/:action/:id" ||
{:id=>nil, :action=>"index"}> failed because no controller found at
subpath typo
-------------------------------
I'm a triple newbie: ruby, rails, and apache so I don't even know where
to start.

Here's my take:
1. The request is getting passed from Apache to Rails because the error
is showing "ActionController" stuff.

2. It may be some mis-config in Apache since it can't find the proper
subpath.  Here's what I have related to typo in httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName typo
    DocumentRoot /www/webroot/typo/public
    <Directory /www/webroot/typo/public/ >
        Options ExecCGI FollowSymlinks
        AllowOverride all
        Allow from all
        Order allow,deny
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

For context, I also have in httpd.conf:

DocumentRoot "C:/www/webroot"

On my hard drive, the path to typo is:

C:\www\webroot\typo


If I serve it up through WEBrick, I get:

--------------------------------------
Routing Error

Illegal controller path for route default: articles
--------------------------------------

This leads me to believe it may also be a problem in config/routes.rb,
which reads, in part:

# default
map.connect '', :controller  => 'articles'

Can anyone shed some light and point me in the right direction?  I've
really tried to RTFM.  Honest.

Thanks,

G
