You have not changed this line. Change welcome to the name of your controller.

Assuming you have done this and it still does not work then show us
the error when you go to http://localhost:3000/

In fact you might be best first to have a look at the Getting Started
guide at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ and for routes in particular
you will find one on that also. In fact look at them all.
