Ruby on Rails controller/views

Any luck?  Let us know so we can continue to assist as needed...

Not yet. I do have index defined as a section. N

Do you have app/views/public/index.rhtml defined?  

I guess the right thing to do before questioning your application would be to ask: Do you have a test environment that allows you to successfully deploy the same application?

Thanks,
Phil

Yes it works fine on the test server. I think it is something to do with godaddy configuration. Pls help.

Have you taken the steps outlined at your "Rails: Welcome on board" page that comes up?

When I go to public/invite, I download a stylesheet.  

Thanks,
Phil

Ya if you go to /public it will show that welcome on board page.

Right -- I see the page.  It recommends a bunch of stuff that you need to do.  Have you done this?

Thanks,
Phil

The first part of instructions I believe should be in place since it is hosted on godaddy.
Second set is for local development and it works fine locally.

Specifically, #2 (I believe) requires some work from you:
2.  The shebang line in the public/dispatch* files must reference your Ruby installation.
     You might need to change it to #!/usr/bin/env ruby or point directly at the installation.

The files being referred to are found in your rails application hierarchy under:
   [application_name]/public/dispatch.cgi
   [application_name]/public/dispatch.fcgi
   [application_name]/public/dispatch.rb
   ... etc.

Does godaddy have anything to say about this?  I've used them and their support has been pretty good when I've had to call.

Also, I would recommend building a totally new rails application that is very simple, just for the purposes of testing your deployment.

Just create a "hello_world" application that has 1 controller that shows 1 view; shouldn't take more than a few seconds to try.

Thanks,
Phil

Ya I tried that..for that simple app the welcome page loads but the redirect based on the controller doesn't work either.

ok, in that case, try checking in to your dispatch files..

I have very little knowledge..would be great if you could point out where can I locate the dispatch file and what to check for.

Thanks

You should see them in your rails application at the following location:
   [application_name]/public/dispatch.cgi
   [application_name]/public/dispatch.fcgi
   [application_name]/public/dispatch.rb

OK. Find those files..what should I be checking for?

Is there anything specific I should be looking for in these files? Pls advise

Thanks. I will go through this one. I had found some other article and had followed the steps on that one.. Will try this one and let you know if any questions.

Thanks again

Great -- if you are indeed able to get it working, please tell us what worked!

If no, I'll continue to do what I can to help out.

Thanks,
Phil
