Yes, deploying PHP is quite simple compared to Rails. > Can you tell me what are standard/proper steps required to deploy an app that > I worked on my local Ubuntu machine and want to have it working on 'standard' > web hosting company that does not specialize in Rails app hosting? I don't have anything written (which I should) but just googling around, here's a few: * http://blog.sudobits.com/2013/01/07/how-to-deploy-rails-application-to-vps/ * http://rubysource.com/deploying-a-rails-application/ * http://tommy.chheng.com/2013/01/23/deploying-a-rails-app-on-nginxpuma-with-capistrano/ There's also a pragprog book: http://pragprog.com/book/cbdepra/deploying-rails which I haven't read. If you hosting solution does not offer shell access, it's going to be very difficult, I think to do an effective deploy. Even moreso if your application requires gems that need to have native extensions compiled. There are some great Rails-hosting PaaS out there: heroku, EngineYard, CloudFront, etc. My most recent job, we used AWS to host our app, and deployed using Chef (opscode.com) which was really nice to work with. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
