Ruby on Rails Troubleshooting .: Netfirms 24/7 Support

By choosing Netfirms for your Rails application development you are choosing a highly secure, enterprise-class platform. We have implemented Ruby onRails as close to the original specification as possible, however there may be a few customizations required for your Rails application to run smoothly:

403 or 404 errors are likely caused by failure to have a trailing slash on the forwarding URL
.htaccess file in your www directory with rewrite rules may prevent your Rails app from functioning
Rather than executing "script/generate", please execute "ruby script/generate"
You cannot specify the database name, only its label. (Convention in Rails tutorials is to name databases like myapp_development, myapp_test, myapp_production -- this is not possible with Netfirms for security reasons)
The directory which is normally called "public" has been renamed to "nfrubyrails"
The normal congratulations page which normally appears at the root of the rails app (eg. http://www.yourdomain.com/) does not show unless "index.html" is explicitly appended to the URL

For further support and assistance on Ruby on Rails, we suggest reviewing the following Ruby On Rails support sites: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/, as well as at http://rubyonrails.org/docs.
