    Hi Louisss,

    Open IIS 7 Manager and add Module Mapping following the steps

    Click on your site → Handler Mappings → Add Module Mapping.

    • Request path: (asterisk)
    • Module: FastCgiModule
    • Executable: c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe|c:\inetpub\wwwroot\myapp\public\dispatch.fcgi development
    • Name: rails-myapp  

    from http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToConfigureIIS7, according to this article, the Background: IIS configuration files section shows the content add by previous steps, it is not required to modify those files any more. For default document, you may need to add index.rb in IIS Manager too.

    Hi....

     

    I mean the point [[[  in http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToConfigureIIS7 ]]]

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

    Background: IIS configuration files

    --------------------------------------------------------------------- 

    i should change the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\myapp\public\web.config.

    and write there the handlers. but when i did it i get a error messages ..that tell me that this is a error at this file ... i dont know really what the autor mean that this file " web.config" doesnt exist.....this is the reason i ask here ....
