Good point Richard, if we have to handle it ourselves I think it
deserves a little mention in the docs.
I assume that most people are use to capistrano which had a cap
deploy:migrations command that would run the migrations before
symlinking the new code. (Although I never personally tested it.)
I'm pushing my app together with a read-only text file containing
swedish characters, åäö.
When starting the app, it reads the file and stores the text in the
database.
My problem is, the file contains characters not compatible with what
postgresql expects.
Q1: what character set is postgresql
I previously used a great Rails plugin called yui_compressor_fu (

Sara, thanks for your answer!
Everything works fine now. Had to be
running migrations before updating the code would still leave you in a
similar broken state because the database schema has changed but your
code has not been updated for it. Depending on how much has changed
will be the severity of your brokenness. Keep in mind that this is

I think it might still say that somewhere in the docs because I remember
being confused when I updated something a little while ago and something
wasn't working, so when I figured out that my migration hadn't been
activated yet, which took a little while to pin down as the problem, I was

Hi Grant,
I was about to write a follow up on that one - I'm pretty sure they do
not have Java installed.
I was quick to jump the gun and show how to generate content and serve
