Hi everyone,

I tried to install WebOrb in Bluehost (it uses cgi or fcgi) but Flash  
couldn’t connect to it like it does on my windows (WEBrick) machine.  
This is what the BH support said:

“Unfortunately you cannot use WebOrb on a FastCGI or CGI served  
application. It will only run on a Mongrel app. There is currently no  
work around for this.”

I’m crossing my fingers that there is a work around because if WebOrb  
for RoR only works on Mongrel or WEBRick that would be a real bummer.

## Thanks,

Ramon T.
