Does your web hosting provider have any documentation for deploying a Ruby on Rails application? Each host can be quite a bit different. You asking great questions here, but the answers really depend on your hosting providers setup. Robby – Robby R.

Hi Guo, I’d recommend checking out litespeed as a webserver and looking through some of the articles at [http://www.usefuljaja.com/](http://www.usefuljaja.com/) it is a bit tailored towards slicehost VPS servers but it has some great setup info for litespeed which is by far the simplest web server from a configuration stand point that i’ve used and really nice for people just getting started with hosting. It depends a lot like Robby said on who your host is and what type of server you are dealing with, is it shared? VPS? … I’m not too familiar with cpanel but I ran across this on their site: [http://www.cpanel.net/docs/ror/index.html](http://www.cpanel.net/docs/ror/index.html) which looks like a basic tutorial on setting up rails via cpanel.

Hi Guo, I’d recommend that you change your username/pass and not post onto that info onto this type of forum, that could be a bit risky 🙂 Who is your hosting provider and what type of plan do you have with them? That is the most important question to answer first. Paul Crawford On May 27, 7:41 am, Guo Y. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

Hi Guo, I am wondering if you made any progress on this? You may want to take a look at Heroku, they are a very rails specific hosting company with some free plans (they are in beta right now) but they have designed their hosting specifically to make it easy for deploying rails apps.
