I have a Rails 3.0 App ready to be deployed on a production server; but as you all might know getting all the gems you need (including Rails 3.0) on a shared hosting is nearly impossible. So here is what need help with: 1. Can I freeze my app with all the necessary gems and deploy it on Fast CGI? 2. If yes how do I freeze a Rails 3.0 app? 3. How do I deploy it on Fast CGI? I know this is an easy task but I would really appreciate the help. Thanks, Tsega -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks Fred, I was just looking into the bundler thing, I tried to run rake rails:freeze:gems but the reply was that the command is depricated and I should try the bundler install command instead. I get what that does and it runs perfectly on my machine, but that''s because everything is installed on the normal gems folder, /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems However, the freezing process was need because it copies these gems to my applications ''vendor '' directory. So when you say ....> You can run bundle package to cache them all inside your app, although you > probably don''t need to do this - in production bundler by default installs a > copy of gems private to the app (no root access required) > .... >I would assume that it means bundler does the same thing of moving my gems to somewhere in the application''s directory.

I guess I should have dug a little deeper at http://gembundler.com before I posted my last request. The bundle package command does the trick! Now to the next issue at hand the Fast CGI deployment!

Ok I''ve packed (not frozen) my app using bundler, and here is what I''ve done on the server: 1. Created a directory to upload my files to. 2. Using a web interface I managed to create a symlink to my application directory Now what should I do next?

It fell out of favour a long time ago (last time i used fastcgi was back in 2006) Rails used to autogenerate a dispatch.fcgi and an htaccess file that were setup to work with apache, however i don''t think it does anymore. Your life will be a whole lot easier if you can switch to passenger (as far as I''m aware that''s what most shared hosting companies used too since it''s a lot easier for them too).

I think you need rvm, it lets you create a .rvmrc file which specifies which gem set to use, it works like magic, you can have one gem set for each project and even a different ruby version for each, you will fall in love with it. http://railscasts.com/episodes/200-rails-3-beta-and-rvm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi Fred, Thanks for you help again, I wish I could try passenger but I''m making this app for a client and he insisted on sticking with this particular host company since they have been doing business for a long time. Talk about customer loyalty! Anyways, where does rails keep the dispatch.fcgi and .htaccess files ? Of course what are their contents? Is it the same as suggested by this guy on github.com https://github.com/dre3k/rails3_fcgi ? He is saying that it should be in the public folder.

Jaz if you are looking for a hosting plan that is affordable, has a good deal of features on a shared server. You should look into site5.com . They offer a solid service, I use them for hosting a Spree (E-commerce Ruby on Rails app ) based website. As Colin suggested they use passenger(I think they even have git integration) so you can give them a try. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hey Fred, I have finally given up, I mean on getting rails to work on this hosting account, I think I would have to use another programming language to make the app, or may be I ''ll use CMS like Drupal. Believe me I am already dreading the decision but I have no time to fiddle with the server, my client is getting a little impatient so I would need to act soon.
