Subject: [Rails] When will Rails deployment be as easy as PHP

Hello,

We are a group of new students on this Forum.

We are Learning R. and Rails as well.

The first thing that scared us was Rails Deployment.

Can any one answer us, when will rails deployment be as easy as PHP on  
Apache.

We can afford to buy only shared hosting space and do not want to go for  
strange deployment procedures.

Few senior developers are forcing us to go with some rails deployment  
tools, but we do not want to go that way, and would like to go with  
standard deployment procedures

We have 2 small projects on [www.heroku.com](http://www.heroku.com) and are happy with it. But  
now we nned to go for shared hosting.

Can few friends here guide us in the right direction.

Hi,

Its nothing new. We created the same project while learning " Agile  
Rails "

We followed the step by step instructions as given in the book. We  
created on local machine with Netbeans IDE and finally pasted the same  
code in Heroku.

You can also get the free trial space on Heroku. All You have to do is  
register and work online.

I hope this helps you.

Hi Rahil

I use HostingRails for shared hosting and it’s quite acceptable - it  
starts at US$4 per month (on a 1 year plan). There are a few steps to  
follow for getting it right but it’s not a big deal and is documented  
quite clearly at a number of places.

The direct URL for HostingRails is: [http://www.hostingrails.com/](http://www.hostingrails.com/)

If you don’t mind me benefiting from your potential signup, the link  
below _is_ an affiliate link - I will get back something if you click on  
this and eventually sign up in a few days.

Best Regards  
Mohit.
