Hi. I’m running Cherokee web server on Debian, and so far while I’ve  
been learning Rails I’ve been hosting it on Mongrel. I want to be able  
to put my rails app functions inside of a larger, broader web page, but  
the tutorial (Cherokee recipes) didn’t have success: (I think) that I  
setup FCGI for Ruby, but I’m really not sure.

- The guide included copying a softlink to the rails public folder  
into my web document root. This provided a host/AppName access, but  
./AppName/Controllers/crap didn’t work.  
Does anyone know the proper way to set up Rails (Or Ruby) for Cherokee.  
If not, what options do I have in terms of tying my app into the web  
page?

Thanks a lot!  
Cameron C.

I doubt that there is anyone here who will be able to answer your  
question,  
no matter how many times you repost it. This group is focussed on the  
Ruby  
language, although Rails is written in Ruby, and Rails questions  
sometimes  
get answered here, you’re much more likely to find help with these  
questions  
on the rails group  
[http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk](http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk)[http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en](http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en)  
I’m a pretty experienced rails developer, and I have to admit that I’d  
never  
heard of Cherokee until your first posting. You should have a better  
chance  
to find someone who has on the rails grou.
