I tried to get my rails site up and running on GoDaddy about a year and  
to make a long story short, it never happened. My advice to you is go  
somewhere else, GoDaddy knows nothing about RoR and their customer  
service support basically told me that I was SOL. I ended going to  
ASmallOrange ([http://www.asmallorange.com/](http://www.asmallorange.com/)) and they set up my site and  
configured for me with no extra chanrge. Unless things have change  
drametically in the last year - which I don’t imagine they have - you  
will never be able to get your site running using GoDaddy.

Don’t do it. I tried last month and wasted almost the whole day with  
it. They haven’t updated Rails or their other Gems since 2006.
