Hi all

I have a questions about how to deploy my RoR application. In my server  
I already have an html applicaiotn, and one of these pages needs to call  
the RoR.

Currently my pages are inside the public\_html folder

Where do I copy my RoR project ?

- inside public\_html?

remove or rename ‘PROJECT\_DIR\public\index.html’

copy your all html application (with directory structure) into  
‘PROJECT\_DIR\public’ folder  
then

> ruby script\server -e product

Also, remember that if you made the appication restful and haven’t  
messed with your .htaccess file you can just make rest calls to your  
rails application from your static html files.

I do this a lot when I am integrating legacy sites into new rails sites.

Good luck
