Hey there,
You are currently running rails either with webrick or mongrel server
which, for production, unless proxied through apache, is less than
ideal. It's certainly something I would think would be frowned upon
on a shared host. You shouldn't have to do this to get rails running.
You will probably have to figure out what your .htaccess file should
look like. This is the .htaccess file in your lovd-by-less/public
folder, not the one in your root. You don't need this one if your
aren't running apache but you do if you are and you need to. Try
creating a rails app the way their knowledgebase says then look at
the .htaccess file it generates. Usually it will include the the
right one.
Mine looks vaguely like this once the commented bits have been taken
out.
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi # <-------- Notice this bit
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
DirectorySlash Off
ErrorDocument 500 "<h2>Application error</h2>Rails application failed
to start properly"
Then...
Have a look on my blog here http://alishus.com/2007/12/06/set-domain-
to-rails-folder-on-hostmonster/ for a hint on how to redirect your
main domain to your rails app.
Looking at your host's knowledgebase, it seems like it runs your
rails app on the main domain by default but have a quick read and see
how you go. Here is the tutorial for getting things running on
hostmonster http://helpdesk.hostmonster.com/kb/index.php?
x=&mod_id=2&id=232 which might be worth a look.
Hope some of this helps.
Jason ;)
