So i > need to do this as soon as possible. so please any body help me. First create rails\_app folder in public\_html (this is not necessary but I prefer all rails app should be placed there.) Step1: Create app in $HOME/rails folder $HOME/rails: rails app\_name Step 2: Create a subdomain from the control panel… create subdomain with any\_name (for exmple app\_name) path should be /public\_html/rails\_app/app\_name Step 3: Remove app\_name dir from the /public\_html/rails\_app/ rm -rf /public\_html/rails\_app/app\_name Step 4: Create symlink for app\_name application ln -s $HOME/rails/app\_name/public/ $HOME/public\_html/rails\_app/app\_name Step 5: Set .htaccess file % touch ~/rails/app\_name/public/.htaccess Now, edit the newly created file with your favorite editor and add the following: # General Apache options AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA] RewriteRule ^([^.]+)/!$ $1.html [QSA] RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L] Let me know if you have any problem in this…or not understand nething,… Thanks Brijesh S. ---

You should ask them to create you an SSH account. After that, it depends of your OS for how to login. If you are using windows, download putty, else in OS X or linux you can login directly from the console ---
