Capistrano/mod_rails

I was following these instructions for capistrano deployment:

Under the section “Application Layer Initialization”, it says:

“We need to tell Capistrano how to spin up (start) our application
layer. The precise way this works will vary depending on how youre
running your application layer. If youre using mod_rails, for
instance, it will be very different than if youre using mongrel.
Here, Ill assume youre using mongrel. By default, when Capistrano
needs to start your application layer, it will try to execute a script
called spin, in the script directory of your application, on each
remote server. Well need to write that script, and then check it into
the source repository.”

Well I’m using mod_rails/passenger. Do I need to be writing any
scripts as it suggests when using mod_rails?

No. When you run capify . a default config/deploy.rb file is created.
At
the bottom of that file is a section of code with the comment “If you
are
using Passenger mod_rails uncomment this:”.

remove the comment sign (#) at the beginning of the lines below that
starting with namespace and ending with end. That’s all you need to do.
