Hostgators website has very little documentation on running rails apps  
so i  
suggest you try and contact their support people.

i try to contact them, but they say, the problem might be in my app, but  
my app, run fine in my local machine, by that reason i ask if there  
special steps to run an app on a shared hosting?
