Creating a Ruby on Rails Instance
From OCS Support Wiki
Most of the time you will probably upload an instance of Ruby on Rails via SCP, FTP, by checking it out from a Subversion repository, or by deploying it using Capistrano. However, this guide will show you how to create an instance of Rails on our servers.
Note: Our shared hosting servers are meant for production use only. We do not support, nor allow, Ruby on Rails applications to run in development mode on our shared hosting servers. We encourage you to do your development on your local computer and deploy to our servers when ready for production.
To create an instance of Ruby on Rails on a Webmin server, you will need to first connect to your server via SSH. Once you've done so, run:
mkdir -p ~/rails_apps/instance_name rails ~/rails_apps/instance_name
This will create a Rails application in the ~/rails_aps/instance_name folder. Replace instance_name with the name of your Rails app. We recommend using an all lowercase name, without spaces or special symbols.
