I have developed rails application, which I now want to deploy to an Amazon server. How can I do this?
Also I have registered domain name from godaddy.
The easiest way to do so is to have your application stored on a Git repository, Github for example. Then on your Amazon machine, clone your repo and you will have all your file on the cloud (almost) ready to use. Take a look at this documentation from Amazon for more infos.
For your domain, you must create a redirection to your Amazon machine IP. Here is a link you should see.
I'm able to run rails s through ssh successfully and see the app start up just as it does on my own machine but I'm unable to access the app from the web. The app is directly under the home folder and I have a symbolic link pointing from public_html to the public folder of my rails app, just as this tutorial explains. I even tried setting up a subdomain and every other step in the tutorial to no avail. Any help would be highly appreciated.
You need an application server like Phusion Passenger, Unicorn or puma to run a Ruby app in a production environment. Typically, you'll integrate the application server into a web server's (Apache, nginx) environment.
I don't know about your hoster, but if you have root access, then you can probably use any of these application servers.
The built-in server you start by running rails server is only meant for testing purposes on your local machine. It has not been made with security, performance, stability or any other production-environment criteria in mind.
Ok so what i'm trying to do is deploy my first rails project. I've asked this question and i think i figured out that you can't configure apache to work using an ip and you have to have a domain name.
The reason i can't use the domain name yet is because i'm recreating a site for someone and they don't want it to be down in between switching the domain from their current site to their new rails site.
I'd like to get my rails app running on a server so I can test it out and then once it's ready, switch the domain name.
How can i setup a server to run a rails project without using the domain name?
If you want to run the rails project locally in development mode, then just run the command rails s from the root of your project.
It is possible to deploy two apps to the same server, or two versions of the same app, I typically use sub-domains for this, website.com and then testing.website.com.
You will just need to have seperate databases and seperate virtualhost files.
You could also try to access the apache machine by it's IP address if it is on the local network.
I want to run my application through azure project in Visual Studio. But it runs it not as I expected. It runs the project like: http://127.0.0.1:82/ not as I want: http://testproject.com.
If you are running the site on your local machine you can update your Hosts File so that it includes an entry for testproject.com that points to 127.0.0.1 while you're testing. When you're done testing make sure you remove the entry in this file.
Once you push it to the cloud you can use a dns cname to redirect your domain. Here's an article that explains it more http://blog.smarx.com/posts/custom-domain-names-in-windows-azure
I've been trying to set up a web server using EC2 on Amazon web services.
Using the appstack-nginx-passenger-ree AMI, I tried to set up the server.
I put my ruby files in /opt/sites and I installed passenger and apache2-dev & apace2-mpm-fork.
I had to set up the apache config file.
Afterwards what should I do?
How do I set the path file of the ruby files and deploy them?
How can I start up the server and be able to look at it?
You should make sure you start up apache (which should show you a default welcome page on your the IP of you box (if you have opened up the firewall)), then setup the path to your ruby project in your httpd.conf file.
Here's a guide that might help you out
