Hello i’m trying do add view paths to my project

In my local machine it is working fine but when i’m trying to host my  
project it is not working i don’t understand why?

I’m using rails 2.0.2

This is my controller

class FrontEndController \< ApplicationController

before\_filter :get\_site

before\_filter :add\_view\_path

def site

```
@site ||= get_site

```

end

protected

def add\_view\_path  
#logger.info self.class.view\_paths.inspect

self.prepend\_view\_path("#{RAILS\_ROOT}/app/views/#{site.inner\_name}")  
#logger.info self.class.view\_paths.inspect

end

def get\_site

@site = Site.find\_by\_name(request.domain) || Site.find(1)

end

end

This is my model

class Site \< ActiveRecord::Base

def inner\_name  
name.gsub(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/, ‘’)  
end

end

can someone tell me why this code is working in my local machine and it  
is not working when i’m trying to host my project

PLEASE HELP!!!
