Why is my Rails erb page not showing changes?

Question

My rails erb view page is not updating with my changes.

I have made changes to my index.html.erb file directly. I restarted the WEBrick. killed -9 all running ruby processes. Clear browser cache, opened page in a different browser. No dice.

Rails 2.3.8 Ruby 1.9.2 gem 1.3.7

I search stackoverflow, found some matches nothing

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Had exactly the same issue. I found a solution to complement the webserver virthost conf with "RackEnv development":

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName someserver
    DocumentRoot "/path/to/rails/public/"
    RackEnv development

    <Directory "/path/to/rails/">
        AllowOverride all
        Options -MultiViews
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Answer 2

by any chance did you cache enabled. If so in your /public folder you can find static index.html file if so remove it

another symptom would be you have another file with the extension of .erb or .rhtml with the same name. (index.erb or index.rhtml). If so remove it
