There are dozens of blog posts and even a recently released book on  
the subject from The Pragmatic Programmer. [http://brainspl.at](http://brainspl.at) would be  
the first place to look. Google would be the second.

Hi everyone & Kumar

Yes I know, someone will come up with capistrano, which is good and  
fine, but this guy doesn’t seem to have the time to learn it.  
So just a few pointers:

- You need to have ruby and rails (and mongrel) running on the new  
Server ( you are telling us too little about WHAT exactly you may need  
to deploy apart from your own application)
- Usually it’s enough to copy the database to the new server, empty it  
from testdata, rename it to the productionname (you DID configure a  
production-DB in your database.yml?)
- then copy the application-directory to the new server and see if it  
runs with “script/server -e production”
- look into mongrel\_rails
- look into apache-proxying - don’t run mongrel on port 80
- start by moving the application to another non-production-server, to  
see if you got the basics working, before going into production

good luck, and try dry-running this kind of move next time, before you  
have to post another “urgent cry for help”  
.  
Best wishes, Phil

Sure…

First you read the various articles on deploying a rails app to the  
server, then you try to follow them.

This is a pretty deep topic that has been covered at length. Time to  
do a little homework.
