My log says it took me two hours to create several shared
directories, move the content there, and get a new Capistrano script
working to make the soft links in the right places and handle
whatever else, so maybe I'm just slow. I may have had some other
problem I don't recall now.
Then I show almost five hours of puzzling over the problems I had,
and submitting tickets to RailsPlayground to get them to do what they
needed to do, including kill the old app and keep it from being
restarted (it kept rising from the dead). This new client runs on
Slicehost, so there won't be any help (or hindrance) of that sort. I
may need assistance from, say, Rob, who says he configures servers
for fun ("it's relaxing, like rolling coins" he said after Nick's
talk the other night) :^)

hmm it shouldn't take you hours, maybe 1 hour max unless their
server is really messed.

I don't need convincing, Patrick, I'm a confirmed Capistrano user on
projects where it was in place or I put it in place (except for
Heroku, which deploys via Git; Nick Zadrozny's suggestion about
tagging the Git branch so it can be found again easily could be useful there).
Now I must tell the client that the first thing I must do is spend
some hours on something that produces no visible benefit at all. I
did this on another project on a managed host (there wasn't even a
script, I guess they just copied files in) and it took quite a few
hours to get all the soft links and other stuff right and the tech
people to point Apache and other things to the new code location.
Blew their budget, but had to be done if I was going to continue to
work on the site.

You should definitely use Capistrano, Scott.
It's well-documented and can handle most deployments. And by
learning it now, you'll be able to apply that knowledge to future
Rails app deployments.
Trust me on this. Months from now... when you reflect on this
thread and realize how much time you've saved with Capistrano, you
can buy me a beer. ;)
