deploying rails made simple : Deploying Rails From Scratch
19 Mar
I spent a good bit of this summer working on websites for ApacheCon US 2007 and OS Summit Asia 2007 which will be in Atlanta and Hong Kong this fall. (You should attend!) There’s a whole long sad story behind the Apache conference websites, but I’ll spare you that (for now). Instead, I wanted to collect in one place all the steps and articles you need to get Rails up and running on a Media Temple dedicated virtual server.
Our GoalOur goal is to have a Ruby on Rails applicatin running on a Mongrel cluster proxied by Apache httpd. We’ll use Capsitrano to automate the deployment process. In the end, we’ll be able to issue a single command to tag the release in subversion, check it out on the server, and deploy the new code. We’ll start with a bare dedicated virtual server.
