title: Deploying Rails app to shared hosting service gives permission error
body: <p>I'm trying to deploy a Rails 3.2.3 application to a shared hosting service (1and1) with Postgres as my database. I uploaded my folder to the website directory through FTP and pointed the domain to my rails folder in the control panel but when I go to the website homepage, I get "You don't have permission to access / on this server." I tried using Passenger but I'm not sure if that is needed or if it worked at all. I'm pretty new at this so step by step instructions would be great.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Mac OSX Snow Leopard, let me know if any more info is needed. Any more background articles to read would also be appreciated, I've been looking to find something that gives a good explanation of how this works but I have yet to find a good one.</p>
