Hey there, You'll probably have to get this info from your provider as there are heaps of variations between hosting setups. If you have a parked domain name, ask them how you setup the domain to point to the application. I wouldn't think you'd be able to run your app on port 80 either. You'd usually run the rails app say with mongrel on a different port then proxy through apache on 80.
It sounds like you're really new to rails and server setups. Ideally you need to do some research. Search the knowledgebase of your provider to see how to setup a rails app. Make sure you know how to get things running on your local machine first and work through some of the issues there. Search through the google groups archives to see if your questions have been answered there. If all else fails, give a thorough description of your hosting provider so we can give more accurate tips. Have fun :) Jason On 21/11/2008, at 7:08 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Uploaded passenger to my root, but now I have a 500 error on my root > > On Nov 20, 11:04 am, "Nicholas Van Weerdenburg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: >> The way it normally works is your request a port, they give it to >> you (say >> 4005). >> You run rails on that port, and then your proxy apache or another >> webserver >> to point to it.
