I have Three Questions
1.The Putty Problem
I have a running rails application that starts as soon as i start the application via putty ( script/server) but as soon as i close the system or say putty the server too stops and the application is not available to other’s.Basically i am new to ruby on rails and i am unable to sort out a solution how to solve this problem.
2. Speed Problem
As i have deployed my application , the rendering time of the application seems very high.A page is loaded after many seconds of waiting ( usually > 30 seconds).I have installed Apache server for the application.Could it be that Apache is the bottleneck ? Should i install some other Server for my application ?
3.Synchronisation Problem
I work on my application on the localhost.Each time i make changes i got to individually Upload the changes to their respective folder’s and that’s quite hectic.Could you people suggest any good software or even method that would help synchronise the changes fast ?
Your program is a child process of the ssh session – if you close the session you also close all children. To prevent this, use nohup (google it for tons of examples) or screen or similar programs that allow you to detatch a process from the current session.
If your server isn’t extremely slow, apache shouldn’t use this much time. Can’t say much about it whithout seeing your code and server configuration, but I think this is more likely to be a coding, configuration or maybe database problem than an apache problem. But you could just try it with another webserver and see if it is significantly faster – if yes, your apache configuration is most likely at fault.
Use a versioning system! Programs like git (which I would recommend) or svn can automate the synchronization process for you, and are useful for a ton of other stuff too.
