I just spent a week and a half trying to get a Rails 2.1 app running on
GoDaddy and got nowhere. I gave up and went to another host. I really
don''t think GoDaddy is serious about their support of Rails. For a
start
there''s no SSH access.

Anyway, enough ranting. From the error log you showed, it looks to me
that the symbolic link from the web url base folder to the Rails /public
folder may not be configured. But just how to check that when you don''t
have SSH access, I don''t know. You may want to ask GoDaddy support to
check and/or configure the symlink so that the url maps to the /public
directory.

It can be very frustrating, I know. You may wish to consider "cutting
your losses" and moving to a different host. I achieved in a couple of
hours on another host what I failed to achieve in a week and a half on
GoDaddy.
