Ruby on Rails

I just installed my RoR application on my ISP's server.

This is a Cpanel environment and it creates a .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^xyz.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.xyz.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/127\.0\.0\.1\:12001\/$1" [P,L]

in a public_html directory. (I changed my domain name in the text above
to xyz because we are not ready to do a product launch.)

The objective, I guess, of the .htaccess file in public_html is to
rewrite (i.e. redirect) www.xyz.com to 127.0.0.1:12001

When I access my website using
www.xyz.com:12001
everything works fine. All my pictures show up, all links work, there
are no errors in production.log and the only error I see in mongrel.log
is

Rails signals registered. HUP => reload (without restart). It might
not
work well.

But that message only occurs during mongrel startup.

When I attempt to access my website via
www.xyz.com
or
xyz.com
I get a ton of mongrel errors complaining that

HTTP parse error, malformed request (127.0.0.1):
#<Mongrel::HttpParserError: Invalid HTTP format, parsing fails.>

PARAMS: {"REQUEST_PATH"=>"/images/Logo", "REQUEST_URI"=>"/images/Logo",

I don't even know where to begin to look to solve this problem so I
would appreciate any pointers.

Am I missing some route.rb statement that needs to handle
127.0.0.1:12001 ?
