[Rails] Rewrite domain root to MainController#index

["Luis G. Gómez"]

I'm confused.

There is a "RewriteRule ^$ /controller/action [R]" on line 23 of
a fresh intalation I just made. I uncommented it and changed
it to point to "RewriteRule ^$ /main/index [R]" but going to
"http://www.example.com/" keeps taking me to
"http://www.example.com/_doc/index.html"

I do have a "main_controller.rb" under app/ that contains:

	require 'abstract_application'
	require 'main_helper'
	
	class MainController < AbstractApplicationController
	  include MainHelper
	
	  def index
	  	render_text "Finally!!!"
	  end
	end

But nothing...

:S

Thank you.
