sorry if this seems to be a dumb question. i just started trying to learn RoR this week. basically i got everything running great locally on my mac. i have a dedicated server that i''d like to start using ruby on rails for but i''m a little nervous about installing it. the main thing is deplyment in apache. i have apache turned on locally, but i think it''s still using WEBrick. i don''t know how to put my rails apps in the root and access them without adding ":3000" to the end of the domain. my dedicated server is a php/cpanel/whm setup and i found this tutorial on installing with that type of environment: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoInstallAndRunRubyOnRailsOnCpanel but i have no idea how this changes the way i create my apps. can i just run the rails command from any directory and use apache to go to the right directory? do i not need to run "ruby script/server" anymore? i have no clue. maybe there answer is somewhere practically right in front of my face, but i''m not seeing it. any help would be tremendous! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Hi! I know almost nothing about apache configuration, so i also use cpanel. Install ruby and rails normally. Create new user account in cpanel. Go to its home directory (NOT to public_html). Run "rails your_app_name". This should create new directory - your_app_name. Now you''ve got 2 choices: - you can remove the whole public_html directory and create a link (ln -s) to "your_app_name/public" and name it public_html; now you can access it simply by "http://user.domain", - or you can create the link to "your_app_name/public" inside public_html directory and name it anyway you want; this way you could have rails and non rails version of the page and access your rails version by "http://user.domain/link/"; ''/'' at the end is important. You won''t have to run script/server anymore. However i still don''t know how to set it up to use fcgi instead of cgi. As i''ve mentioned i don''t know much about apache and linux, so there are probably better ways to do it, but it works for me. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
