Set default controller but not to affect other controller and paths

I want to replace root to welcome controller,

But if I use the url http://localhost:3000/welcome/portfolio The action 'welcome' could not be found for WelcomeController

How to not affect original controller with the routes rule match '/:action(/:id)', :controller => "welcome",via: [:get, :post]

rake up routes

                 Prefix Verb     URI Pattern                  Controller#Action
                   root GET      /                            welcome#index
                        GET|POST /:action(/:id)(.:format)     welcome#:action
portfolio_welcome_index GET      /welcome/portfolio(.:format) welcome#portfolio
          welcome_index GET      /welcome(.:format)           welcome#index
                        POST     /welcome(.:format)           welcome#create
            new_welcome GET      /welcome/new(.:format)       welcome#new
           edit_welcome GET      /welcome/:id/edit(.:format)  welcome#edit
                welcome GET      /welcome/:id(.:format)       welcome#show
                        PATCH    /welcome/:id(.:format)       welcome#update
                        PUT      /welcome/:id(.:format)       welcome#update
                        DELETE   /welcome/:id(.:format)       welcome#destroy

route.rb

  root :to => "welcome#index"
  match '/:action(/:id)', :controller =>  "welcome",via: [:get, :post]
  resources :welcome do
    collection do
      get 'portfolio'
    end
  end

it happens because /:action(/:id) handel each path with format /something/some_id and even /something so you could put it to the end in routes file:

 resources :welcome do
    collection do
      get 'portfolio'
    end
  end

  match '/:action(/:id)', :controller =>  "welcome",via: [:get, :post]
  root :to => "welcome#index"

in this case request to /welcome/portfolio will be handled with resources definition before going to your /:action(/:id) definition.
