Overview
You can install on your site custom Web applications developed in the Ruby programming language.
To install on your site an application written in Ruby:
- On your Home page, select the domain name you need, then, under Hosting, click Setup.
- Select the CGI and FastCGI check boxes, and click OK.
- Connect to your FTP account, change to the /htdocs directory, and create a subdirectory where the application files will reside. Let's call this directory your_application, for illustration purposes.
- Upload the application files to the htdocs/your_application directory.
- Create a file with name .htaccess in this directory, open it with a text editor of your choice and add the following lines into the file:
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^$ /public/index.html [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/your_application/public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /public/$1 [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/dispatch.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L]
- Save the file.
- Remove the file your_application/public/.htaccess
- Open the file your_application/public/dispatch.fcgi with a text editor and put the following lines there: #!/usr/bin/ruby
- Save the file.
Now the web application will be accessible at the following URL:
http://your-website.com/your_application .
