Manage Ruby on Rails Applications

Ruby on Rails Applications are based on the Rails framework. Rails applications must be run like any other application. After creating an application, you will need to populate it with your code. Then, you can choose to start or stop the application and even to load the application every time the server reboots.

Available Ruby on Rails Applications

App Name	Path	Rails Server	App Status	Actions	Load on Boot?	Production	Delete

Manage Rewrites

Since applications are running on a different port than the other URLs on your server, you'll need to redirect incoming traffic to that port. To do this, you can create a URL rewrite to send users to your Ruby on Rails application.

What is an application rewrite?

Because Ruby on Rails uses its own server, users visiting your website (and your Ruby on Rails application) will need to be redirected to the appropriate port. To do this, you can create a URL rewrite.

Remember: Ruby application port numbers increment automatically with every new application. This means that, if you are on a shared server, you will simply be assigned the next available port number.
