When your Rails application has been uploaded (FTP'd) to your hosting account, you can create a user-friendly, symbolic link to it.
To create a symbolic link to a Rails application
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- In the My Products section, select Hosting.
- Next to the hosting account you want to modify, click Manage Account.
- In the Content section of the Hosting Control Center, click the CGI Admin icon.
- Click the Ruby tab.
- In the Create Rails Symbolic Link panel, choose the appropriate application from the drop-down list.
- In the text box, enter the URL.
- Click Create.
