Hey all - Well, I''ve gone through all of the tutorials I can get my hands on, and I''ve developed what is basically a (very) simple front-end to a database that I maintain online. My big problem now is deployment. Almost everything that I''ve found on the web regarding deployment (and this includes the instructions for Switchtower/Ccapistrano) assumes that I have complete control over the Apache server that I''m deploying on. This isn''t the case - I have a hosting plan with IXWebhosting.com. According to what I first read about RoR, I can deploy it on any server with CGI (or FastCGI - the server I''m on is Apache 1.3 with both modules). But I''m at a complete loss as to *how* to deploy it, or even how to check and make sure that my server will support the execution of Ruby code. How do you deploy on shared hosting? I don''t have the faintest idea where to even start. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Then, ssh into the box, and run the console: ruby script/console If you can execute a few commands without errors, you''re fine. Don''t forget to update config/datababse.yml to suit. You should really ask your host for this information. They might have different requirements. For an example, here is DreamHost''s Rails page: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Rails Hope that helps ! -- Fran?ois Beausoleil http://blog.teksol.info/
With my hosting provider, you copy the files to the server and then contact the hosting guys who must deploy it for you. I haven''t done it yet as my app is still under development, so I''m not totally sure, but that''s what I read somewhere.
