Why I cannot change the top page on Rails?

Although I modified config/routes.rb file to have

map.home '', :controller => 'home', :action => 'index'

I don't see it working. Why?

Actually, the controller is called, and it seems working. However, the file public/index.html exists, and outout is done by that. I guess this is because / is treated as /index.html.

By removing that file, it started working!
