Dreamhost uploading

Rails
1

I haven’t had a chance to upload my app and configure dreamhost, but I
did log in and create the folder using the “rails app_name” command.

Now, my question is, I read online to do this:

cd domain.com
rails my_app_name

So, I did just that. Rails will know what to do even though my
application is in a sub-directory under “domain.com”?

Essentially,

/domain.com/my_app_name/app/

is where all of my folders are (i.e., models-views-controllers).

This seems ok to everyone?

Thanks.

yeah, now you just need to configure web root for your domain to be
/domain.com/my_app_name/public

There’s really no need to do that - you can just upload it once you’ve
finished building it on your local machine. You don’t need to create a
new
app on the Dreamhost server, since you’re only going to overwrite it
when you
upload your app anyway. (I’m assuming you have a working,
locally-developed
Rails app, and you literally just want to put it live?)

When it comes to getting Rails sites working on Dreamhost, this Wiki
entry has
worked well for me: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Ruby_on_Rails

If you need a bit more help, drop me an email and I’ll see what I can
do.

Cheers,
