I use Apache, Mongrel and Capistrano.
When I execute cap deploy it works fine.
I have 2 Mongrel server running on the port 8000 et 8001.
Well, I have an important question now. I want get my rails
application up
on the Internet. The server herd is a web server. I have installed
ruby and friends on the server.
This is a file, which I have created, in the folder sites-available of
Apache on the server. This site is activated.

Here is my deploy.rb file :
require ‘mongrel_cluster/recipes’
set :user, “root”
set :application, “CoreSong”
set :repository, “https://herd.ida.liu.se/svn/hcs/CoreSong”
If you aren’t deploying to /u/apps/#{application} on the target
servers (which is the default), you can specify the actual location
via the :deploy_to variable:
set :deploy_to, “/var/www/#{application}”
If you aren’t using Subversion to manage your source code, specify
your SCM below:
set :scm, :subversion
set :deploy_via, :export
set :use_sudo, false
ssh_options[:port] = 22
role :app, “herd.ida.liu.se”
role :web, “herd.ida.liu.se”
role :db, “herd.ida.liu.se”, :primary => true
set :svn_username, “s08nicma”
set :svn_password, “xxxxxx”
set :mongrel_conf, “#{deploy_to}/current/config/mongrel_cluster.yml”
set :runner, “root”
And here my mongrel_cluster.yml :
cwd: /var/www/CoreSong/current
log_file: log/mongrel.log
port: “8000”
environment: production
address: 127.0.0.1
pid_file: /var/www/CoreSong/shared/pids/mongrel.pid
servers: 2
This configuration is good to get up the application on the Internet
or I have forgotten something ?
If this is good, what is the URL to test the web application from any
machine ?
Thank you in advance for your help, which is very precious for a
beginner like me !
