Configuring rails app on web server

Rails
1

Hello,
I am newbie in configuring apache and deploying web applications, and am
trying to install rails 1.0.0 application on Godaddy web server. Lets
say the application is named demo', and it will be present in a folder called demo’ on the web server. The web server in addition to hosting the
rails
application will host many other static pages in other folders. When the
user
access the page `www.mywebserver.com/demo/’ he should be taken to the
index
page of the application.

So, what do I add in the `.htaccess’ file in the demo folder, such that
the
control is transferred to the .htaccess file in the demo/public/.htacess
file?

Thanks for your help.
