How do I start up the preconfigured example Rails application located at /var/www/railsapp ?
Hopefully someone here can help me with this beginner's problem.
I've successfully installed the RoR appliance to harddisk on a standalone server, and was able to access the webmin interface from another computer on the same network.
After I got all that running, I tried following the instructions found here on how to deploy a Rails app: /docs/rails/deployment .... to try out the example on the server...but to no success.
My question again is: How do I start up the preconfigured example Rails application located at /var/www/railsapp ?
Any help to solving this problem will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for viewing.

Reply 4I'd like to get back to the original thread problem since I'm struggling with it right now.
I'm keeping it simple and want just to see a simple index.html file in my browser. I've set up new a virtual server to port 12345 and document root at /var/www/, restarted apache using webmin and opened the port in Linux firewall (just to be on the safe side).
However with netstat -ln -A inet I never get the desired port in listening state - it's just not listed there.
I'm not familiar with RoR but I would guess from your info that you should find the example at http://ip-or-hostname/railsapp/ This guess is based on the knowledge that /var/www is a common default document root for web servers (ie what you get when you browse to http://ip-or-hostname/).
