Hi guys, So, I’ve built my first rails application and it’s time to upload it. I’ve asked the web hosting to provide me with a server port number for the application and also about the server configuration, which is: Apache, Fast CGI with support for a subversion repository. My local environment is set using Hivelogic with mongrel, capistrano, subversion and… on Mac. I would like to upload the app with Capistrano. This will also be the first time I’m starting to use subversion. Anyhow, just wanted to ask for any tips? anything special I should do? or be aware of? anything… Any help would be much appreciated, Elle ---

Hi Elle The recommended aproached is Apache2.2x +a pack of mongrels. FastCGI is generally not recommended CCH > **[Rails... Rails...

Can I control the web server? Could I install Mongrel on the web server? and if so, how? Otherwise, I might not have a choice. Elle ---

BTW, the web hosting plan is a shared Linux server – I’m not sure they will let me install mongrel on it. If they do, a tutorial would be great if someone has one. If not, would some one have any tips or things to avoid/be aware of with Fast CGI? Cheers, Elle On Nov 1, 5:46 am, Denise P.
