Running App in Production Env

Rails
1

Hi everyone,

yesterday I switched the environment on my production server from dev to
prod via changing the vhost file for the Apache.

I changed

RailsEnv development

to

RailsEnv production

and deployed the application via capistrano.

But now I get a passenger error see at http://test.kwikit.de

What ist the problem? Do I need to do a cold deploy with capistrano or
what ist the solution?

Please help

Cheers

Adam

What is the name of your application controller?
Are you sure it is running with the same version of rails as in
development?
If so how do you know?

Hey Colin

sorry but I don’t understand your questions?

I already deployed the app a couple of times to my server in dev mode.
Now I switched to prod and I run into trouble.

I deleted the capistrano folder structure on my server and made a cold
deploy, now I get the following error while the cap deploy:

executing `deploy:migrate’

  • executing “ls -xt /srv/www/kwikit/releases”
    servers: [“kwikit.de”]
    [kwikit.de] executing command
    command finished
  • executing “cd /srv/www/kwikit/releases/20090923195330; rake
    RAILS_ENV=production db:migrate”
    servers: [“kwikit.de”]
    [kwikit.de] executing command

    failed: “sh -c "cd /srv/www/kwikit/releases/20090923195330; rake
    RAILS_ENV=production db:migrate"” on kwikit.de

I have no idea what to do…

I have more than one controller, the server is running in same rails
version as my notebook. It works on deploying with dev anyway.

You should have a controller called application.rb or
application_controller.rb, do you? If so which?

I already deployed the app a couple of times to my server in dev mode.
Now I switched to prod and I run into trouble.

I did not realise that it runs on the server in dev mode but not
production. The only difference in the app is the settings in
database.yml and the differences between production.rb and
development.rb so have a careful look at those. Have you changed
anything there? If you still cannot see it, first check it still runs
on the server in development mode then I suggest changing the contents
of database.yml and production.rb to be the same as for development,
if it then goes ok change them back iteratively till it fails. Keep
notes as you go or you will get lost, or at least I would.

Would you expect it to work on the server in dev mode but not in
production if that were the problem?

From rails 2.3.0 application.rb is renamed to application_controller.rb
which you are aware of. And passenger <=2.0.3 looks for application.rb
and higher versions looks for application_controller.rb. Its fine both
ways if u run on mongrel or webrick.So I believe this is the issue Adam
is facing.

Thanks,
Kilari.

Seems like an issue with rails n passenger version. Can you simlink the
application.rb to application_controller.rb and it should work fine.

cd RAILS_ROOT/app/controller

ln -s application_controller.rb application.rb

Thanks,
Kilari.

Okay, I got it, but please do not ask how.
There was a problem with the migration to production.sqlite3 but I fixed
it!

Thanks dude!

Because the I changed some settings for storing the db because of having
it accross all deployments. I put it into shared and symlinked it. There
was a mistake in it.
