I know GoDaddy is far from being an ideal host for a rails application but this is the one my client has and I don't really have a choice. I tried to deploy the site yesterday and followed the instructions available on: http://www.ericdaugherty.com/blog/2007/07/rails-on-godaddy.html http://lists.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/2006-July/056959.html http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/RailsWebHostsGoDaddyComments http://help.godaddy.com/article.php?article_id=1406&topic_id=&prog_id=GoDaddy&#location
... but the site doesn't work. 1. Java is not enabled. 2. I have a "rails" directory inside my root "/" directory and created a symbolic link (elle -> rails) in the CGI Admin 3. I froze gems before deployment 4. I edited dispatch.* files to reference #!/usr/local/bin/ruby 5. I uploaded files to "rails" directory 6. I chmod dispatch.* files to 755 7. public/.htaccess file contains the following: AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi AddHandler cgi-script .cgi Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /rails RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA] RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L] 8. config/environment.rb file contains the following: ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'production' RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '1.2.3' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION ENV['GEM_HOME'] = '/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems-dev/1.8' 9. MySQL db is set up and database.yml was updated with the correct details. host: p50mysql59.secureserver.net port: 3306 And the site doesn't work. I get a 403 Forbidden error. And GoDaddy support team keeps emailing me, saying the root directory is missing a default index file. I really don't have a choice with web hosting selection and I need this site to run. It's not going to be a high traffic site. The url is http://elitehousings.com/ Can anyone please please help?
