Some of the following is sourced from the ASOwiki(approve sites)

To start, you will need SSH access for your account. You need to create a support ticket at ASO to get it enabled. SSH is a Shell connection directly to the server hosting your website(s). This is done through a Terminal and allows several commands to be performed, commands like chmod, vim, and man.

If you are using Windows you will need to download a terminal. A good terminal to use on Windows is PuTTY(approve sites). Its simple and straight forward to use. If you have any problems using PuTTY or with any info provided here don't hesitate to ask on the SimpleLog forums.

Next type the following in your terminal (without the text in parenthesis):

THE FOLLOWING WILL DELETE ALL OF YOUR public_html CONTENTS!

cd ~ (this changes the directory to the root)
rm -rf ~/public_html (this will delete all contents in your publc_html once entered)
ln -sf ~/myapp/public ~/public_html (next you are creating a symbolic directory)

Once that is done, you have to use the public folder of your Simplelog app to keep files that normally go into public_html. public_html technically doesn't exist anymore.

Now things might not be running as fast as expected. This might be because standard CGI is being used. To change this we need to access the .htaccess file.

Type the following in your terminal (without the text in parenthesis):

cd ~/myapp/public (this changes the directory to /myapp/public)
nano .htaccess (now we are accessing the .htaccess file to edit it

Search for ".cgi" in this file and replace it with ".fcgi"

The line you are looking for should look like the following:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.cgi [QSA,L]

Replace it with:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]

Now if you load your application, it will probably take a few seconds for the FastCGI process to start-up. After that, though, it will load faster.
