hey everyone, im still a newbie, and i am having trouble deploying my rails application.
I am using netfirms.com (hosting), through MAC OSX and i have been able to get my SSH server running, and i have copied my app through ftp on to the server. they have a helper here: http://support.netfirms.com/idx.php/0/649/article/Ruby-on-Rails-Quickstart-Guide.html
i remembered to change my database.yml settings in production to the one i created on my server and I changed my environment.rb so that ENV[‘RAILS_ENV’] ||= ‘production’ is enabled.
so now i am stuck…i am not sure if i am supposed to upload my database directly into the new one, or run some sort of rake command in SSH? my databases are currently empty.
also when i try to look at my app online (actually called) motionsickness.ca/photos i get this error:
In order to view your homepage, please name your main page “index.htm” (using lower case letters).
it could be because i rerouted my pages, and deleted the index.rhtml, but im not sure how to fix that.
i would love some help here…i’ve looked into capistrano, but i don’t think i need to go through that, do i? And i’m not sure what it’s asking me to do differently.
any guidance would be great.

PS: im trying to upload the application i created in Ruby on Rails: Up and Running (hibbs & tate) so i can practice deploying. FYI
