You can specify what Rails should route "/" to with the root method: 

  root :to => 'pages#main'

For options, see the match method’s documentation, as root uses it internally.

You should put the root route at the top of config/routes.rb, because this means it will be matched first. As this is the most popular route of most Rails applications, this is beneficial.
