Problems with Rails and no existing files

I have had som success with ROR and of course some problem.

I have managed to install Ruby on Rails partially. I can issue the
command

rails myTestApp

but the command doesn’t create all the necessary files. For example I
miss dispatch.fcgi and .httaccess.

No, those aren’t created, and you don’t need them.

Are you getting an error while trying to run the app?

created and modified.

There are certainly outdated tutorials out there, unfortunately.
