Moonshine works like a champ on Slicehost: http://github.com/railsmachine/moonshine/tree/master
All you need to do is install the Moonshine plugin, install the Moonshine SSH plugin to secure SSH access ( http://blog.railsmachine.com/articles/2009/05/06/moonshine-plugins-yo-dawg-i-put-a-plugin-in-your-plugin/ ), check the application manifest/deploy.rb and make any changes from the default, deploy:setup, and deploy. Moonshine will secure SSH, update Ubuntu, install ruby, sendmail, apache, passenger, MySQL (or Postgres), set up your database based on your database.yml, set up cron/imagemagick/etc, install rails and your config.gems, and get the whole shebang running. All the server configuration is handled in config files, and Moonshine tracks any changes to anything and applies them whenever you deploy. Basically it rocks :) Jarin On Sep 1, 4:27 pm, Nathan Clark <[email protected]> wrote: > I used Deprec to setup an app running on Apache and Passenger on > Slicehost a few weeks ago. > > I followed these > directions:http://wiki.slicehost.com/doku.php?id=get_started_with_your_new_ubunt... > Up until the 'Configure the Package Manager' section and let deprec do > the rest > > The whole process went very smoothly with one exception: I was getting > this error: > VirtualHost *:80 — mixing * ports and non-* ports with a > NameVirtualHost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined > results > The fix: I had to remove the default site: > cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ > sudo rm 000-default > The file is still available here: > /etc/apache2/sites-available/ > But is not conflicting with the config files that deprec sets up. > > I don't think Deprec is setup to do Passenger and Nginx.
