(let me start with an apology; I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I've looked everywhere and can't find an answer. Thanks in advance for your patience)

I'm in the middle of deploying an app, and it _looks_ as though everything is set up properly as far as my routes.rb and whatnot. However, even though I've deleted the public/index.html file, whenever I hit the application the index.html file gets regenerated, and it now displays a "you are being redirected" message and a link to the controller I've defined in routes.rb.

That last part is what makes me think that routes.rb is set up correctly (or close to it); the link in the newly-generated index.html always reflects whatever entry I put in routes. If you can help me figure out how to get this file regeneration to stop, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks,
Dieter
