I'm trying out the rails tutorial (http://www.rubyonrails.org/show/Tutorial).
I've reached step six where I get to access my new page but things don't work.
I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what the problem is.
I've tried accessing the page via the WEBrick servlet. I started it with
ruby dispatch.servlet -a
and then pointed my browser to http://localhost:3000/friends/display
I'm greeted with
Not Found
`/friends/display' not found.
WEBrick/1.3.1 (Ruby/1.8.2/2004-11-23) at localhost:3000
On the display WEBrick shows me the following error:
#<WEBrick::HTTPStatus::NotFound: `/friends/display' not found.>

------------------------- end WEBrick error --------------------------
I've also tried with Apache, but I end up with a similar error in the log:

On the other hand, at the browser I'm greeted with the rails 500.html message:
Application error (Apache)
Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action (like in
Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html
