Hi! I’m from Russia. It’s my first post in this forum. Execuse for my  
bad language, but i hope you’re help me!  
I try to deploy rails app on apache + fastcgi hosting.

.htaccess file contents:

AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi  
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

RewriteEngine On  
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]  
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f  
RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]

Dispatch.fcgi file contents:

#!/usr/local/bin/ruby  
require File.dirname( **FILE** ) + “/…/config/environment”  
require ‘fcgi\_handler’  
RailsFCGIHandler.process! ‘/var/log/myapp\_fcgi\_crash.log’

For request: [http://mydomain/](http://mydomain/)  
i get “welcome ruby on rails page” with information about Rails, Ruby,  
Gems versions.

I renamed index.html in public directory and wrote default “root”  
controller in routes.rb. But there was an error.  
I get only:

NameError in [ControllerName]#[ActionName]  
uninitialized constant [ControllerName]
