testing my app locally I have no problem, but now I try to test it with
my ISP (Bluehost)
and I have a problem with a path definition of a file I need to read
initially in my application.rb
def geo_from_IP
geo_ip = GeoIP.new("#{RAILS_ROOT}/data/GeoIPCityfr.dat")
....
raises an error : no such file to load -- geoip
the file exists actually and is located at :
my_home/ rails> myapp > data > GeoIPCityfr.dat
how and where RAILS_ROOT should it be defined ?
Note :
as usal in ISP configuration, I have a link to myapp:
my_home / public_html > myapp ( link_to user_home/ rails> myapp )

GeoIP was installed locally using gem... and I belive that my ISP installation doesn''t have it ... is there any way to put it in my app ?
