Deploying on linux shared host

Rails Deployment
1

Hi all,
I am newbie in rails, my hosting agency told me that they have
installed rails on their server and all i have to do is to upload my
application into a folder named rails.
I have done that, it shows the rails welcome abroad page, but it also
tells that Rails application failed to start properly !
I know there is something wrong, but i dont know what ?!
Please help me :frowning:

here is the address : http://www.datisdesign.com/rails/public/

Remove index.html from your public directory.

Application error
Rails application failed to start properly

Marsoul,

Deploying Rails coping and pasting folders is the way to insanity.

You should take a look at Capistrano (http://capify.org), also I

would recommend reading:

Deploying Rails Applications: A Step-by-Step Guide
by Ezra Z., Bruce Tate, and Clinton Begin

I have never read it, It was published after my head went white

with deployments, but Ezra’s blog was the light at the end of tunnel
regarding Rails deployment and scaling for me.

Anyway check the log/ folder, (development or production) and feel
free to post here the Exceptions you find.

I’ve read it, definitely takes the pain out of trying to figure it out
on your own.
