modifying text in footer

Hi all, I needed to add some text in the footer. I edited file "base.html" ( This is ERB file) under the folder : D:\software\redmine\redmine-2.3.0-0\apps\redmine\htdocs\app\views\layouts

however, after my edit and restarting apache server , the changes are not visible on the screen. Any thoughts where I could be wrong... { * base.html snippet*** basically I want to add some hyperlinks in the footer and header...
