Hi,

I am trying to deploy ROR site on godaddy. I have got it to a point  
that godaddy control panel detects the rail application and I am able  
to create a virtual directory to it. Following is my url :  
[www.weinyou.com/public/](http://www.weinyou.com/public/)  
. Now I have controllers and views setup properly in the app folder  
but I am not able to access it. I have a controller invite but if I  
try to access [www.weinyou.com/public/invite/](http://www.weinyou.com/public/invite/) I am unable to access it.  
It says page not found. First of all I think it should have shown me a  
routing error from within the rails framework instead of a godaddy  
page not found error. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, looks like  
it is redirecting the invalid urls or any urls for that matter to the  
rails framework.

Thanks,  
Prerak

I think you’re running into a problem with your app directory being  
named “public”. Public is a standard directory in rails. Try using a  
different directory name for your virtual directory.
