copied!<p><strong>What build of Linux is most recommended for this configuration?</strong></p> <p>Any of the distributions will work fine as long as they can run Apache2 (which is almost all of them) and you can install Passenger (along with ruby and rails). I personally use CentOS and find its package manger to be ridiculously easy to use (<a href="http://yum.baseurl.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">yum</a>).</p> <pre><code>yum install -y httpd ruby gem install rails passenger </code></pre> <p>Then all you have to do is a little configuration in <code>/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf</code> to add Passenger (following the install file for Passenger <code>passenger-install-apache2-module</code>) and point it to your deployment folder <code>.../app_name/current/public</code>.</p> <p>Since you are using Passenger you should override the restart task to work for it.</p> <p><code>config/deploy.rb</code></p> <pre><code>namespace :deploy do desc "Restart Application" task :restart, :roles => :app do run "touch #{current_path}/tmp/restart.txt" end end </code></pre> <p><strong>How do I set up Capistrano on my server for remote deployment?</strong></p> <p>All Capistrano needs is SSH access with sufficient permissions to deploy, migrate, restart app server, etc. Just follow the <a href="http://www.capify.org/getting-started" rel="nofollow noreferrer">getting started guide</a> at the <a href="http://www.capify.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Capistrano website</a> and you will be up and running in no time.</p> <p>Capistrano needs access to your SCM, you will need to allow it to connect to your machine. All Capistrano does is checkout your code into a release folder and moves the symbolic link from the old version and restarts your app server.</p> <p><strong>What is the biggest snag you watch for when deploying from a localhost development, to deployment on a totally different OS?</strong></p> <p>The biggest snag is with migrations, test, test, test, and test them some more. A bug in your application is easy to fix and redeploy, but a bug in your migration could end up a huge pain in the ass with the possibility of data loss.</p>
