I’m a newbie and I’m having a tough time figuring out how the
permissions need to be set to get a Rails app running on a shared host.
I’m attempting to follow the fastCGI instructions here:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/FastCGI
Now, I’m getting this error:
You don’t have permission to access /dispatch.fcgi/ on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use
an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I have checked the permissions and they’re 777
This actually brings up an interesting Topic.
What do the permissions for Rforum to run on a a shared host?
I’ve never really found a good tuturial that describes how permissions
should be set for a Ruby / Rails web application.
I’d appreciate any references to info that can help.
thanks,
Bryan
p.s. for what it’s worth here are my current permissions.

Are those permission correct?
Which need to be changed?
