[Rails] how to redirect to a specific page??

I have Rails version 2.3.8.I am using Netbeans 6.9.1 as IDE. I want to
redirect localhost:3000 to a specific page. i opened routes.rb file and
uncommented the line

map.root :controller => "Welcome"
I created a controller named Welcome and a view named index. I also
deleted the default index file as suggested in some of the
websites.However, the page is not getting redirected to new index page.
What is the problem??
