Question: How do I create a new ruby on rails application and view it on the web?
Answer:
In ssh, type:
rails ~/my_rails_app
to create an app
Be sure to replace :
my_rails_app
with the name for your application
Then type:
ln -s /home/your_username_here/my_rails_app/public/ /home/your_username_here/www/my_rails_app
you can then go to:
http://your_web_site_here.com/my_rails_app/index.html
to see the app on the web.
Note:
Some older phpwebhosting.com servers do not have the latest ruby + gems + rails installed. If typeing rails in ssh does not work for you, enter a support ticket and we’ll get your server updated right away.
