I’m trying to set up a new project on an icdsoft account but they’re  
still at rails 1.2.3. They unfortunately also don’t support ssh  
(saying it’s a security risk). I used their example php script to  
setup a 1.2.3 app which worked. I then froze my local rails app to  
2.0.2 and uploaded the “rails” directory into the online vendor folder  
for the 1.2.3 app (I guess that’s how it’s done with ssh access?).  
Unsurprisingly, it didn’t work, and I’m getting an application error  
“Rails application failed to start properly”". The icdsoft support  
team won’t help me on this since they don’t support rails 2 and have  
no plans to update to it in the near future. Before I plead with my  
client to switch hosts, has anyone had any experience getting rails  
2.0.2 working on icdsoft or another similar shared hosting  
environment?

thanks in advance.
