Your site structure looks okay, and the error you’re getting is not a  
Rails error, so I think Apache has simply not been configured to use  
Rails yet.

we’ve been here before…its not that i dont want to help you, its  
just…you seem to read some of the fundamentals.

Your apache structures is NOT ok, [http://www.smtservers.com/demo/](http://www.smtservers.com/demo/) should  
point to the ‘public’ folder in your app…

But this demo folder is under public folder.  
like

public  
|  
demo

RoR have to install on web root?

Thanks

For this kind of site structure  
do you think if I can access it by  
[http://www.smtservers.com/demo/say/hello](http://www.smtservers.com/demo/say/hello)?

Thanks
