Okay, it should be made clear that Rails couldn't run on Dreamhost until I set the permissions on dispatch.fcgi (in the 'public' directory) to 755. Here's the content of my dispatch.fcgi file:

<typo:code lang="ruby">

!/usr/bin/env ruby

require File.dirname(FILE) + "/../config/environment" require 'fcgi_handler'

RailsFCGIHandler.process! nil, 10

I have: Debian Linux 20 GB of disk space 1 terabyte of bandwidth Unlimited domains 675 email addresses PHP, Perl, MySQL, Jabber, WebDAV, Subversion, Ruby on Rails, WordPress, Gallery, phpBB, etc. and the customer support is fantastic. The turnaround has been very fast and they have helped me even when I f**ked things up myself. For example, they restored a bunch of files that I had nuked on my WebDAV share and they had it done in around 2 hours and that was on a weekend! and it's only $7.95/month though I don't really pay anything because I make $97 off of referrals so it pays for itself and gives me a bit of extra income. I have been very, very pleased with them.
