mediatemple: deploy production quality Rails on dv

found a good tutorial on deploying production quality Rails on dv

If you’re looking to deploy Rails in a production-quality way on a server, there are a ton of tutorials on how to do that. None did exactly what I wanted though, so I’m adding another to the mix. We’re using MediaTemple’s (dv) 3.0 server. Design goals:

* I wanted to use Mongrel instead of FastCGI.
* Because this server comes with Apache pre-installed, and it’s not 2.2 (which supports mod_proxy_balancer), I decided to use the Pen load balancer. (Coda Hale sold me on this)
* I needed to support RMagick
* I wanted everything to be as simple as possible.

If you’re a MediaTemple user, you’ll notice they have instructions for this on the 2.0 edition of their dedicated virtual server, but not 3.0. Consider this an upgrade/enhancement to those instructions.
