To create a symbolic link to a Rails application

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. In the My Products section, select Hosting.
  3. Next to the hosting account you want to modify, click Manage Account.
  4. In the Content section of the Hosting Control Center, click the CGI Admin icon.
  5. Click the Ruby tab.
  6. In the Create Rails Symbolic Link panel, choose the appropriate application from the drop-down list.
  7. In the text box, enter the URL.
  8. Click Create.
