Publish a Rail Application
Assuming the name of the Rail Application is `newrail` and the location for all new Rail Applications is `/var/rails`, thus a Rail Application can be published in 2 ways:
- Via Builtin Webserver, called WEBrick by running `/script/server` located in the folder where it was created.
cd /var/rails/newrail/script ./server &
- Via Apache Web Server by setting the proper `DocumentRoot` varible with the location of the `public` folder in the Rail Application
DocumentRoot /var/rails/newrails/public <Directory /var/rails/newrails/public> Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks AddHandler cgi-script .cgi AllowOverride all Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ...
