Hi Mark,
The first problem is your server is pointed to the wrong directory. It
should be pointed to the public directory in your rails app.
After that you need to set up a “demo” controller and then and action
called “say”. ex. Ruby script/generate controller demo index say

Hi Mark,
Who are you hosting with. On Dreamhost you should be able to go to "
Remap a new sub-directory" and map a dir to a certain folder in your
home dir.
On Textdrive you can go to webmin and then apache webserver, your
virtual webserver, alias and redirect and put an alias from /demo to
/home/youraccount/demo/railsapp/public
Cheers,
Eric G.

Based on my idea,Demo is a folder,say is a application and hello is a
action.
This is a hosting company,I can not access httpd.conf,how to fix this?

Thanks

Hi,
If you can’t access your webserver settings then I don’t know how you
would do this.
I would talk with your host and get them to set it up for you.
Cheers,
Eric G.

Do you mean they have to set this again for different RoR application?

Thanks

How about contacting your hosting provider. It’s their job.

RoR.Thanks.

Mark, you can’t just put a rails app in a web-accesible directory and
expect apache to
know what to do with it. It requires (some would say rather complicated)
configuration
changes to apache.

And why are you trying to deal with the whole issue of connecting a
rails app to apache
and how things will work with your hosting company and all of that
before you’ve even
learned the merest basics about rails and ruby?

Take that app you generated and – on YOUR computer – run “ruby
script\server” from the
command line within the app root. That will start the included webrick
server on port
3000. Then you can get to your “hello world” page at
http://localhost:3000/say/hello.

I gave you links to a couple tutorials last week, but it’s apparent that
you haven’t truly
digested what they said. You should read them again, thoroughly… and
you should probably
order the Agile Web D. with Rails book and follow through the
sample app they
build in the first section of the book.

Rails is getting a lot of buzz because it does a lot of nice things for
developers and has
a lot of cool features. But that doesn’t mean it’s dead simple to use.
There is plenty to
learn (just look at the volume of questions on this list). Give yourself
the time to learn!
