How can I set a base route for rails?

My home address is something like

www.hosting.com/~myid/

I uploaded my rails blog app in the blog folder,

www.hosting.com/~myid/blog/

and I ran 'rails server' to launch server. (in default, it will use
port 3000)

When I connect to the www.hosting.com:3000/~myid/blog/ It shows the
routing error - No route matches "/~myid/blog"

It seems that rails application is accepting /~myid/blog as
controller&action.

I assume /~myid/blog/ will be the base address for every routing that
will come to this address.

How can I resolve this problem???

Try just www.hosting.com:3000/

You're web server's virtual host should set /~myid/blog/public as the
site's DocumentRoot. You should be able to set this up in the .htaccess
file that your shared hosting company provides for you.

Typically Apache or Nginx is used as a front-end web server for Rails
applications and something like Phusion Passenger to take care of the
interaction between the web server and the Rails application. Typically
the web servers provided by rails server are not really suitable for
production level deployment on their own. Generally speaking static
assets are delivered by the front-end web server (Apache or Nginx).

Example:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName www.example.com
  ServerAlias example.com
  DocumentRoot /var/rails/my_app/public
</VirtualHost>
