I am certain that is what is wrong now, that my web server space
hasn't been properly set up. For example I can only open Rubyrail's
'Congratulations' page if I give the full path with file name index.html.
i.e. there are no default page names. 

My host also seems to have a bit of a sense of humour, the script to
generate project spaces ( equivelent to 'rails projectname' ) gives the
project directory and all files below it 777 rights. Hows that for smart,
not.

Anyway I have written to them so should be able to get going properly soon.
