[n00b] [Rails] How to debug "no route to..."

I'm new to Ruby/Rails and doing pretty well and liking it a lot.
However, deep into one of the tutorials, I was feeling so confident that
I went several pages (read: hours) without double-checking that my
changes were still working. When I finally got to the part where I
thought "ok, I better check on this and see how it's looking", I got

   Routing Error:
   no route found to match "myapp" with {:method=>:get...

etc.

(I'm OS X 10.4.9, up to date Ruby/Rails/Gems and Safari/FF/OmniWeb
browsers.)

I figure it's some simple thing that I changed or left out -- but what I
can't figure out is how do I determine WHICH simple thing I changed or
left out?

So: I'm not asking you to debug this one for me, I'm asking how do I go
about debugging this somewhat vague-seeming message?

Thanks!

Please take off your pants or I won't read your e-mail.
I will not, no matter how "good" the deal, patronise any business which sends
unsolicited commercial e-mail or that advertises in discussion newsgroups.

You might try the RoR mailing list / forum on rubyforum.
(Sorry, I love ruby, but know nothing about Rails.)

Hi,

Check to make sure you have a myapp_controller.rb... The error message
is stating that Rails cannot find your controller class.
