I followed these directions to deploy the sample “test” application at  
the bottom of the page:

[http://digitalmediaminute.com/howto/fc4rails/](http://digitalmediaminute.com/howto/fc4rails/)

but when i try to go to /test/contacts i get a 404-not found error.

is there something i missed in setting up lighttpd? how can i check?  
thanks!
