[Rails] Re: deploy: First Rails App to shared server

I deployed on Site5, so it's possible :)

Search their bulletin board for a tutorial, i can't remember the link
off hand, if you have trouble let me know.

If you are developing locally you don't need apache, just go to your
app in the terminal and say$ script/server

This is a pretty good getting started guide: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html

But anyway... check the Site5 forum it worked for me, you can try
using the cpanel to start off your rails app, and it will setup a
subdomain for you. if your get that app working, replace the contents
of the folder with your own...

I ssh'ed into site5 and linked the folder created by the cpanel wizard
to my own rails 'public' folder outside the www folder, if i remember
correctly. Theres no need for your rails app to be available to
apache. Then you probably want to look into their passenger server
restart method... where you're supposed to make a file called
restart.txt or something, and put it somewhere, I can't remember
exactly I think I moved it from the default location... again, the
forums are a good resource :) -- then you just ssh again and unix
"touch" it and bam the server restarts.... you might not want this
file to be in the www folder either ;)

Good luck,
