I’ve enjoyed the Google Rails forum for about a year now while I’ve completed my Rails 2.0 application and waited until the end to figure out deployment. I’ve spent the last two weeks pouring over the many web posts and blogs about how to put this up under Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (unless you have a better alternative) and can’t find one source that ties it all together. It seems the Ruby - Rails - Mongrel are easy but all sources (so far) forget to deal with how one loads and starts MySqld. Over the last year my readings seem to point that Ngnix is the most efficient? Anyway, I am an aspiring individual who is will to pay for such advice. I expect (whoever) would help me write; 1. Installation and setup script. 2. How to stop the server, update the code, and then re-start scripts. I am grateful for your reply or a suggestion of who I might approach. Thank you, Kathleen removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid ---

Kathleen, Who’s your hosting provider? They should be able to help you get this up and running. Thanks, Jesse P. Blue Box Group, LLC p. 800-613-4305 x 801 ---

Kathleen, Look into Litespeed. [http://www.litespeedtech.com/home.html](http://www.litespeedtech.com/home.html) We use it for our large sites. ([funadvice.com](http://funadvice.com), [medications.com](http://medications.com) and others). It gets rid of the Nginx/lighty/apache/mongrel mess, and you can focus on coding and your database. You dont have to worry about monitoring that stack. Just write your apps and deploy them. I don’t work there, and they dont pay me. Just a happy customer. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. - Ericson S. CTO [http://www.funadvce.com](http://www.funadvce.com) ---

As far as i know, the main difference is that litespeed only uses one processor for the free version. However your rails application will use all the processors available to it. We use the free version for one site, [medications.com](http://medications.com) that gets about a million pageviews per month without issue. On that same server, we run about 3 other lower traffic sites under litespeed as well. - Ericson CTO [http://www.funadvice.com](http://www.funadvice.com) ---

How is the standard (free) version of Litespeed when compared to some of the other configurations? ---

Hi Kathleen, I would recommend you to use a managed service like EngineYard[1] or SpeedyRails[2] (I work for SpeedyRails) if you need support deploying your application. There are big differences in terms of costs and architecture between both companies, but I can assure you support service and reliability is great in both companies. Should you need more information about our services do not hesitate to contact us.

Hi Kathleen, I can suggest going with a managed hosting environment also. HOSTS: I like [ocssolutions.com](http://ocssolutions.com) and [slicehost.com](http://slicehost.com) because the support is very responsive and they have people that have been dealing with rails for a long time. PERFORMANCE: What are your performance requirements for your app? (# of requests / sec, #simultaneous users …). I have deployed my apps under the apache proxy balancer and mongrel clusters and it runs really well while not killing my virtual dedicated server. BOTTOM LINE: Try to work on a dev server and get it working there. -HT On Jan 20, 9:19 am, “removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid” [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

I suggest going to by the peepcode episode about Capistrano 2 and the book “Deploying Rails Applications” form pragmatics programmers. 22$ pdf book + 9 $ peepcode episode 2008/1/20, Hugh T.
