Genuinely curious... can you explain to me how to get a single-file ruby or python app up and running on a normal shared host (basically anything that uses "CPanel" or "Plesk")?
With PHP:
1. log in to server via FTP or CPanel "File Manager"
2. find the publicly-accessible document root (htdocs, public_html, etc)
3. upload an "index.php" file to that directory with "<?php echo 'hello world';" in it
4. visit http://yoursite.com/
How would I achieve this most-basic web page on a common shared host in ruby or python?
It's been a very long while since I've been in either of these, but I recall Plesk having a shell. With that the case, the Python/Ruby file could be dumped somewhere (ideally the vhost root) and then just run through the command line in a long-lived process or daemon. Port 80 is obviously taken by Apache, but other than that ...
