I have been learning Ruby lately, and I want to upload a test web application to my server. But I can't figure out how to get it to run on my shared hosting.
My Hosting Details
- Shared Hosting with JustHost (see here for list of features)
- OS: Linux
- Apache: 2.2.11
- cPanel: 11.25.0-STABLE
- No SSH access.
- Can install Ruby Gems.
- Can't install Apache modules.
- Can "Manage Ruby on Rails Applications" through cPanel.
- Mongrel gem is installed.
I built the following simple HelloWorld Ruby Rack app using Sinatra:
#!/usr/bin/ruby ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'
get '/hi' do
"Hello World!"
end
I just can can't figure out how to "start" the application. Do I need to tell Mongrel (or maybe Apache) that the application exists somehow? How do I start this app running? I am happy to provide more info if needed.
