localhost:8080/ does not direct to expected page

Dear All
 
I started using the CakePHP (2.3.5) with Apachec 2.2 as the WebServer.
I am observing one problem, that http://localhost:8080/ does not direct to the specific page I have routed in route.php.
 
(A) In route.php, I have added this as my first route:
 Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'welcomes', 'action' => 'index'));
 
(B) What I observe that if I change the same route as below:
 Router::connect('/welcome', array('controller' => 'welcomes', 'action' => 'index'));
then with the url: http://localhost:8080/ welcome it renders the specific page as is intended.
 
Not able to figure out why the root url (as in (A)) does not route to correct page, instead it routes to the default CakePHP index page.
 
To disable the default routing, I have commented following line in route.php:
 /**require CAKE . 'Config' . DS . 'routes.php'; **/
 
Does anyone of you have faced similar problem and how did you solve it?
 
Best regards
Chandan
