Odd. It should work if you're logged in. Hmm.

There are official instructions for installing rails apps on  
TextDrive on the Knowledgebase:

<http://help.textdrive.com/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=71>

It looks like a long process, but that's mostly because the  
instructions are very detailed. Basically, it's not recommended to  
run Rails apps using Apache on TextDrive, because CGI mode is too  
slow, and FCGI doesn't play nicely on a shared host. So you need to  
run lighttpd, and for that, you need to ask for a port (via the  
TextDrive ticket system).

Once you've got your assigned port, just follow the instructions.  
It's pretty straightforward, but give me a shout if you have problems.

You can run them via the Run command.. button (don't forget to cd  
into your tracks directory first), but it's probably easier to ssh to  
your server and run the command from there.
