I use Apache, Mongrel and Capistrano. When I execute cap deploy it works fine. I have 2 Mongrel server running on the port 8000 et 8001. Well, I have an important question now. I want get my rails application up on the Internet. The server herd is a web server. I have installed ruby and friends on the server. This is a file, which I have created, in the folder sites-available of Apache on the server. This site is activated. \ ServerName herd.ida.liu.se DocumentRoot /var/www/CoreSong/current/public \ Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all \ BalancerMember [http://127.0.0.1:8000](http://127.0.0.1:8000) BalancerMember [http://127.0.0.1:8001](http://127.0.0.1:8001) BalancerMember [http://127.0.0.1:8002](http://127.0.0.1:8002) Allow from localhost RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT\_ROOT}/%{REQUEST\_FILENAME} -f RewriteRule (.\*) $1 [L] ProxyPass / balancer://mongrel\_cluster/ ProxyPassReverse / balancer://mongrel\_cluster/ # Deflate AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml application/xml application/xhtml+xml text/javascript text/css BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4.0[678] no-gzip BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.coresong.log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.coresong.log combined Here is my deploy.rb file : require ‘mongrel\_cluster/recipes’ set :user, “root” set :application, “CoreSong” set :repository, “[https://herd.ida.liu.se/svn/hcs/CoreSong](https://herd.ida.liu.se/svn/hcs/CoreSong)” # If you aren’t deploying to /u/apps/#{application} on the target # servers (which is the default), you can specify the actual location # via the :deploy\_to variable: set :deploy\_to, “/var/www/#{application}” # If you aren’t using Subversion to manage your source code, specify # your SCM below: set :scm, :subversion set :deploy\_via, :export set :use\_sudo, false ssh\_options[:port] = 22 role :app, “herd.ida.liu.se” role :web, “herd.ida.liu.se” role :db, “herd.ida.liu.se”, :primary =\> true set :svn\_username, “s08nicma” set :svn\_password, “xxxxxx” set :mongrel\_conf, “#{deploy\_to}/current/config/mongrel\_cluster.yml” set :runner, “root” And here my mongrel\_cluster.yml : cwd: /var/www/CoreSong/current log\_file: log/mongrel.log port: “8000” environment: production address: 127.0.0.1 pid\_file: /var/www/CoreSong/shared/pids/mongrel.pid servers: 2 This configuration is good to get up the application on the Internet or I have forgotten something ? If this is good, what is the URL to test the web application from any machine ? Thank you in advance for your help, which is very precious for a beginner like me ! 🙂 Nicolas ---
