Bah humbug I’m trying to deploy my very first rails app and man if i  
said i didn’t understand a damn thing it would be a understatement.

I found development to be a breeze but now I’m totally stuck. I have a  
Media temple (dv)and got ruby installed following their step by step  
guide at [http://kb.mediatemple.net/article.php?id=279](http://kb.mediatemple.net/article.php?id=279) (it is a  
mongrel\_cluster)and got their test App up and running. Now the problem  
is that i have no idea how to deploy my own stuff to this freakin  
server. The book i have been using is Rails Solutions By: friends of  
Ed  
and they talk about using Capistrano and subversion to deploy to text  
drive.

And thats the first part where i got stuck. i found a post on the web  
on  
installing subversion on media temple  
([http://blog.hellm.com/category/subversion/](http://blog.hellm.com/category/subversion/))but after that i was lost  
because my book shows setting up subversion accounts via textdrives  
nice  
little online interface blah!

Basically I’m wondering if any of you guys has deployed to a ruby  
server  
at media temple dv and what where your steps.

I’m so freaking lost and i really really need some help so please  
anything will be very appreciated.

Rubyology’s podcast # 5 ( [http://rubyology.com/podcasts/show/11](http://rubyology.com/podcasts/show/11) ) may  
be of some value to you. The podcast covers Rails deployment in a  
Linux environment including: subversion, capistrano, and secure shell.

Hope this helps…
