On my server I did a search with sudo find . -name "application_controller.rb"
. There's so many files of that name. Which one should I edit so the changes will be reflected on my server?

You shouldn't change any of them. Really.
./home/myapp/apps/myapp/releases
suggests you are using something like Capistrano to deploy your application. You should update your source code, commit, and deploy it.
If that's not an option, then you should see if ./home/myapp/apps/myapp/current/app/controllers/application_controller.rb
exists and edit that. If not, pick the most recent version in `./home/myapp/apps/myapp/releases.
Once edited you'll need to restart the web server for it to pick up the changes.
Again.. I would highly suggest not doing this unless you have no other option.
