You''re not telling which shared host you are using, and the way they
host RoR apps differs quite a lot (some use fcgi *yuck*, some host
your app on a single mongrel). All in all, you''re in for a lot of
trouble, both in getting it deployed and most of the times keeping it
running too.

I would direct your question to your shared hosting support and hope
they have at least some experience or faqs they can send you. Most of
them just slap the "ruby on rails support" on their website because
cpanel or plesk support it now, but haven''t got a clue on how to
actually host a rails app.
