Rails - May 2006 - newbie question - routes.rb on server

Hello,

I am new to Ruby but not to programming. I have a domain name and server 
space with a host who said that ruby on rails should work on the server. 
All I want to do is make sure that a test ruby application works online 
so that I can begin development on an app. I am able to get the test 
program to work locally but not online.

In C:/ruby/projects/test/controllers/TestController.rb:

(path online = www.<mydomain>.net/test/controllers/TestController.rb)
-------------------------------------------------------------
class TestController < ApplicationController

	def index
		render_text "Hello Ruby"
	end
end
-------------------------------------------------------------
In config/routes.rb, i have tried all of the following:

  map.connect '''', :controller => ''test'',
:action => ''index''

  map.connect '''', :controller => ''Test'',
:action => ''index''

  map.connect '''', :controller =>
''test_controller'', :action => ''index''

  map.connect ''test/:controller'',:action =>
''index''

  map.connect "test", :controller => "Test"
  map.connect "test/:controller/:action/:id"

At both http://127.0.0.1:3000/ and http://127.0.0.1:3000/test/, I can 
get the "Hello Ruby" to display. However, I can''t get it to
work on my
domain, i.e., www.<mydomain>.net/ or www.<mydomain>.net/test/. All
that
these respective links display is the index of files and folders in 
those links.

Am I missing something here, or is it my host that is missing something? 
What do I have to do to get "Hello Ruby" to display at 
www.<mydomain>.net?

Thanks,

-TK

Who is your host?  What Web Server?  The problem is not with your
routes.  It is with the configuration of the server and how it
interacts with your app.
