Question

I’m Deploying a rails app on the server for production? What are the special steps, I should follow in production installation, that is different from development.

I’ve installed passenger, passenger-apache2-module
I’ve also run bundle install –deployment

What are other special treatments, I should use for production?

Thanks.

Answer 1

With our deployment servers we have a fairly easy setup

• ubuntu
• apache + passenger
• a rails user from where the apps are
  actually run “/home/rails/apps/fancy_app_name”
• and we have a webistrano app running to handle the deployments (so our development
  machines don’t have to be aware of all production steps)
