There are many ways to deploy a Ruby on Rails application. It depends  
mostly on which web and application servers you’re using. I would  
recommend reading the documentation for the one you choose (Phusion  
Passenger is one of the alternatives, but there are others) as a  
starting point. There are also several tools that help you with  
getting the code to be deployed from your source repository to the  
application server. The most popular ones seem to be Capistrano and  
Vlad the Deployer. I recommend you read their documentation as well,  
and pick the one that suits you the most.

I bought Ezra’s “deploying rails apps” book and built a heavyweight  
environment with apache proxy, pen load-balancing proxies, multiple  
mongrel processes, monit to start and monitor them all.

Then I discovered Phusion Passenger and threw it all away 🙂

Strongly recommended.
