How to host an html demo along with current Rails application?

Hi,

I have a rails application running currently on our HR account. I would like to upload a bunch of html pages with css to demo the to be version of our app to a client. How do I achieve that using my current HR account?

This is a very urgent requirement for us, so any kind of help on this would highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Karthik

You can test this separately without affecting your current rails application. You can create a sub-domain and follow the tutorial below to run multiple rails applications on your account.

Also you can upload the required html pages here in the sub-domain's document root and check the working.

Hi Rahul,

I tried creating a sub-domain demo.nurall.com and tried copying the html files in there, but that did not work for me. I get the following error:

Application error
Rails application failed to start properly

How do I fix this?

Thanks,

I've put the following rewrite rules in your .htaccess file under the subdomain's root directory.
---------
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .
RewriteRule .* - [L]

The site is working fine now.
