I am developing a small site for client and currently their static site
is hosted on godaddy. And they don’t want to move to another host for
certain reasons. Godaddy has the following configuration for the plan
that they want to go with :
Support Ruby and MySQL Versions:
Ruby 1.8.4
Ruby on Rails up to 2.3.2
Rubygems 1.3.1
MySQL 5.0.91
And they don’t allow any gems to installed if it is not there.
Now, my question is that is it possible for me to get gems that I need
on my local machine and copy/paste in some folder in the apps code so
that I don’t have to install it while deploying - and I am still able to
use the gem/plugin? If there is no workaround for it then its going to
take a long-long time to finish the project if I have to code everything
myself.
Ruby 1.8.4

that I don’t have to install it while deploying - and I am still able to

Thanks in advance for any help.
You can vendor all the gems, including Rails, but you’re going to be
hamstrung by that creaky-old Ruby, which may be too old for most
versions of Rails still running and certainly will cause havoc with your
other gems. That you can’t do anything about. I wouldn’t touch GoDaddy
with a barge pole anyway, but this sounds like an untenable situation
for anything written in the last two years.

I may be able to convince them to move another host. But then what are
the good and cheap options for hosting which give a little control
regarding the gems but doesn’t burden me with setting up everyother
thing(i.e. ruby, rails, mysql, phpmyadmin etc.)- basically cheap,
reliable managed hosting.

Not sure if it’s “changed”, but did you try the -n option to heroku logs?
Will give you as many lines as you care to look at…

End is not end, In-fact E.N.D is “EFFORT NEVER DIES”
If you get NO in answer, remember N.O. is “NEXT OPPORTUNITY”
Impossible just separate the word - I M Possible
yes, you can do copy paste but not reliable solution.
What OS are you using? let me know I will give you few steps for copy
and
paste

The free database option is still a shared postgres database, but you
can buy add ons to add a mysql database if that’s what you need.
I really wouldn’t go near that go daddy hosting you mentioned: both
the ruby and rails versions are antiquated and are no longer
maintained - 2.3.2 isn’t even the latest version of 2.3.x, so you’re
missing out on a lot of bug fixes and security issues.

As I am working for a small non-profit charity organization hence cost
of hosting is a issue. Also, as I am not very comfortable with
installing and setting up the whole environment myself hence I want to
go for a hosting plan in which I get a basic working setup. Dreamhost
does offer a shared hosting plan free for charity organizations. They
offer the following setup :
Ruby 1.8.7, Rails 3.0.3 and Mysql 5.1
And I can install any gem/plugin that I need.
I am leaning towards DreamHost shared hosting plan. Any reviews about
hosting a site on DreamHost with a shared plan?
So you’re getting a version of Ruby that’s no longer getting bug fixes
and will be fully EOL’d in a year, and a very old version of Rails
lacking
current security fixes (the 3.0.x branch is now at 3.0.13, never minding
that current Rails is at 3.2.5).
