I’ve been following along with these Slicehost tutorials on deploying a Rails app: [http://articles.slicehost.com/2009/2/20/ubuntu-intrepid-thin-web-server-for-ruby](http://articles.slicehost.com/2009/2/20/ubuntu-intrepid-thin-web-server-for-ruby) [http://articles.slicehost.com/2009/3/13/ubuntu-intrepid-nginx-rails-and-thin](http://articles.slicehost.com/2009/3/13/ubuntu-intrepid-nginx-rails-and-thin) but have also used Thin and Capistrano and am having a real tough time. I’ve managed to get the files from my local computer up on the slice with Capistrano, but when I run “sudo /etc/init.d/thin start” and check out the domain all I get is “502 Bad Gateway nginx/0.6.32”. Then when I run “sudo /etc/init.d/thin stop” I get these errors: “[stop] /etc/thin/linksyncer.yml … Stopping server on 0.0.0.0:3000 … Can’t stop process, no PID found in tmp/pids/thin.3000.pid Stopping server on 0.0.0.0:3001 … Can’t stop process, no PID found in tmp/pids/thin.3001.pid Stopping server on 0.0.0.0:3002 … Can’t stop process, no PID found in tmp/pids/thin.3002.pid” There also seems to be some trouble with Hpricot. In development.log I have this error: " Status: 500 Internal Server Error no such file to load – Hpricot" even though I’ve run sudo gem install hpricot. Can anyone see where I’m messing up? Or perhaps have a link to a great step-by-step deployment tutorial? Thanks!
