+h1. Hostgator
+
+
+<b>Installation with mongrels</b> (From aexl on the forums)
+
+I finally got the trick, here is how it worked for me:
+* ignore the forum post about rails installation
+* ignore support staff that only points you to the forum post
+* use cpanel/rails to create rails app and webforwarder
+* delete rails app template and unpack tracks here
+* do some environment magic (*)
+* in cpanel/rails start webapp
+
+
+(*) what environment magick is needed?
+
+in config/environment.rb add this line:
+
+<code>
+  Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
+    # some hosting might need this (hostgator does)
+    config.load_paths += %W( #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins ) 
+</code>
+
+
+
+
+<b>Installation with fastcgi</b> (From kikontrack on the forums)
+
+Hostgator recently added support to run rails app with fcgi
+
+* First check in the rubygems menu of the cpanel that you have the proper rails version and that the fcgi gem is installed
+* Unzip Tracks in /home/YOUR_USER/rails/ (so will be located in /home/YOUR_USER/rails/tracks/)
+* In my cpanel or shell, create mysql database and mysql user for Tracks
+* In /home/YOUR_USER/rails/tracks/config/database.yml, setup the proper adapter for mysql
+* Then in /home/YOUR_USER/rails/tracks/ I run rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
+* I created the entry in public_html with a symlink ln -s /home/YOUR_USER/rails/tracks/public/ /home/YOUR_USER/public_html/tracks
+* I added a .htaccess file in /home/YOUR_USER/rails/tracks/public/ which contains the following
+
+<code>
+AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
+Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
+RewriteEngine On
+RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
+RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
+RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
+RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
+ErrorDocument 500 "<h2>Application error</h2>Rails application failed to start properly"  
+</code>
+
+* In /home/YOUR_USER/rails/tracks/config/environment.rb uncomment ENV['RAILS_ENV'] = 'production'
+* Add the line ENV['RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT']="/tracks"
+* And add the line config.load_paths += %W( #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins )
+* Adjust the subdir in site.yml to "/tracks"
+
+Then open your browser to http://YOUR_DOMAIN/tracks and you should be good to go ;)
+
+
+
+
+<b>Installation with fastcgi and SSL</b> (From kikontrack on the forums)
+
+Reproduce above steps then
+
+* Create a file dispatch-tracks.fcgi /home/YOUR_USER/public_html/
+<code>
+#!/usr/bin/env ruby
+Dir.chdir("/home/YOUR_USER/rails/tracks/public")
+require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment"
+require 'fcgi_handler'
+RailsFCGIHandler.process!
+</code>
+
+* Change the .htaccess rewrite to: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /~YOUR_USER/dispatch-tracks.fcgi [QSA,L]
+* Change the line ENV['RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT']="/~YOUR_USER//tracks"
+* Adjust the subdir in site.yml to "/~YOUR_USER/tracks"
+
+Then open your browser to https://YOUR_DOMAIN/~YOUR_USER/tracks and you should be good to go ;)
+You will get a SSL mismatch error has the SSL is sign for hostgator domain name, but you can import the certificate in your browser to not get the warning every time
