I’m doing a series of ruby on rails tutorials and it got to a part where i need to edit the following files that should be automatically inside the public folder: dispatch.cgi,dispatch.fcgi,dispatch.rb but I have none of these inside my public folder. Is there a reason for this? And how can i change it so they are back The only files in my public folder at present are 404.html 500.html 422.html images javascripts stylesheets favicon.ico index.html robots.txt ---

Or you could use mod\_rails [http://www.modrails.com/](http://www.modrails.com/) (Passenger) instead. /Lasse 2010/3/24 Lasse B. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---
