Is Ruby on Rails supposed to work?

[awinter]

I have been through many different tutorials and help pages and I can't get RoR to work! Why can't the .htaccess Rewrite logs work? How come the .htaccess rewrite don't work in proxy mode?

I can start the mongrel server and get RoR queries using lynx locally but there is NO WAY I can redirect URLs in proxy mode. This is ridiculous!

Help, quickly!

I guess my question was: is Ruby supposed to work on bluehost servers? I actually know by experience that Ruby on Rails is works real fine, but on my computers...

If it is supposed to work, where can I find a tutorial or readme or help page that is accurate - all the ones I have tried were not helpful at all.

By the way, I tried http://helpdesk.bluehost.com/kb/inde...&root=8&id=232 and it does not work...

I'm really not sure anything is configured in the apache server to handle RoR queries with Ruby!

Ummm, what do you mean "does not work"? What kind of error are you getting (if any)?

I learned that database.yml is very particular about spaces and tabs. Trust me, the knowledge base article works.

This knowledge base may well work if you have a dedicated IP, however if you are sharing your IP amongst mulitple sites the ports the Bluehost Ruby On Rails cPanel uses are blocked. So you need to use fastcgi instead of the bluehost cPanel method.
