I am getting a routing error when trying to access the web application with the URL for the localhost.
Ruby on Rails 3.2 and Windows 7 is used.
The Question:
Why does this routing error happen? And does anybody have a suggestion how to fix this?
The URL:
http://localhost:3000/web_app_name
The Error Message:
In the Web Browser:
Routing Error
No route matches [GET] "/web_app_name"
In the Command Prompt:
Started GET "/web_app_name" for 127.0.0.1
ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/web_app_name"):

Addendum:
The "routes.rb" File:
web_app_name/config/routes.rb
WebAppName::Application.routes.draw do
end
The rake routes Command:
The rake routes
command does not produce an output in the command prompt.
