I just got the fire to clean up how our app is deployed and
upgrading mongrel.
Currently, our app is being deployed in a user's home directory. This
has caused some problems regards to user/group permissions...
What issues were you running into? I deploy several production apps
to dedicated user accounts and haven't run into permission issues.
I've read that there are some issues with Cap2.0 and Mongrel Cluster,
Is this true? I was thinking to upgrade Cap as well. What, if/any
other gems should I be concerned about general compatibility?
I've been running "Cap 2.0" for a few months now and have not seen
any issues with clustering. As long as you have your deployment
scripts written correctly you shouldn't have any issues.
I am wondering if standard practice is to run mongrel as
mongrel:mongrel? Who should typically have ownership of the files in
my app directory if I do so? I am concerned about media uploads
(images etc..). Does it matter if mongrel is running as mongrel and my
app is owned by another user? Sorta newb questions I know, but I want
to make sure that I have this upgrade clean and correct.
I guess I am confused about how 'mongrel' handles permissions.
If Mongrel is being run on a system wide level then do use
mongrel:mongrel. If as in my case you are using a dedicated user for
the application then use that user and group.
Hope this helps.
