we are currently trying to allow one of our clients to access and edit
some html files on their site via adobe's contribute.
the files live in the public directory of the rails site, and it seems
like there is a problem with contribute connecting to the site. it
looks like contribute is attempting to find a direct http connection
to the file as in:
If the url of the root of your rails app is www.domain.com then www.domain.com/filename.txt will look in the /public directory. Try accessing a file there from your browser to check this is working.

On the other hand this may only be true when accessing from a browser, I don’t know how adobe contribute expects to read/write to a file.

Accessible to the browser via http at the root of the domain for fetching javascript css etc. Also the 404.html and 500.html error pages are normally there. Also robots.txt etc. Look in your rails project /public folder and you will see what I mean.
All of this may have no relevance to adobe contribute however.
