Re: [Radiant] Re: Deployment recommendations?
Hi everyone - Had a chance to finally get a new Radiant project set up on Heroku tonight and it's pretty much straightforward with some help from jsntv200's gist (thank you, sir!) - https://gist.github.com/2424787. Set up my Gemfile as needed (with some cues from that gist, a Procfile, and the one thing I've seen here and there - remove config.ru. Before removing config.ru I wasn't seeing any of my (repo committed) assets served. After removing it was good to go. For purposes of oversharing, in short: heroku create --stack cedar heroku rename mysite-staging git push heroku master heroku run rake db:migrate heroku db:push heroku restart heroku logs --tail Big ups to you guys who shared all the great feedback - Joel On Sat, Apr 21, 2012 at 10:34 PM, john johnm...@gmail.com wrote: cool. i'll try to duplicate your setup in the next couple of days (and update the wiki if you haven't got to it yet) On Thursday, April 19, 2012 6:23:40 PM UTC-5, jsntv200 wrote: Radiant runs fine on cedar.
