title: What is the proper way to deploy a rails website (blog) on my home server?
body: <p>domainname.com points to my router's external ip address.
  router port 80 is open and directs to my server internal ip address.
  using mamp, the server opens the content in the folder "htdocs"</p>
  
  <p>How worried should I be for the security of my system running a private web blog with these settings?</p>
  
  <p>How can I get my rails web app to run? ie how can I deploy my rails website on my home server?
  I tried copying the files into the "htdocs" folder but it opens them up as an index and all the files open as text.</p>
