This command creates an app structure and then probably such a tutorial will show you how to render a page, or better, show you how to create a simple CRUD model.

I recommend you use Heroku as it will be the simplest way for you to get something on the web. > - What extensions should these files have? > - Where to put which files? > - What the hell should these files contain? > > Now, I can "play" with Ruby via the command line locally and I can just > create an .rb file and run it from there, but that's not the point, I > want it to show online via a browser and as ridiculous as it sounds - I > don't know how to do that? > > Add. infos: > - I'm trying to run it on a cheap shared web-hosting (Linux server). > - Ruby on Rails + gems are installed there, can access them via the > cPanel. > - I've created a test-app through the cPanel - with success. > - I've created a rewrite > - I can access the subdomain via my browser and I'll see the "Welcome > aboard" start page. > > What now? > > I just can't continue to learn the language via simple out-of-context > examples via the command line while I have no idea where to upload which > files to make it really function on-line :( > > Please help. > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
