Jadzien,

Generally, these questions are better directed at the Rails mailing
list[1]. In this case, what it's looking like is that you're still
pulling up the public/index.html file for your application. There are
several ways to get around this (changing the .htaccess file, removing
the public/index.html file, etc.) but for now the simplest solution
would be to just access the correct controller directly rather than
relying on the default route. For example, if you have a
WelcomeController, try this url:

  http://localhost:3000/welcome
