Since I just went through my first deploy including using proxied ssl, this is what I would recommend -
-- First get your app up and working on the deployment server however you can. Copy the files over however you can, install ruby, rails, db and all your incidentals. Get this working first.
-- Then once you have everything working perfectly (which is no small achievement the first time), then start finding better ways do do things - like how to streamline. This is where I am right now. I strongly believe that if you do not isolate your goals and try to do everything at once there is high risk of failure. I am not using cap but will soon I think.
-- I think github is a good start to the above process since you can easily clone your app. So on dev machine you push and then on your production env you clone it.
I am also new on Rails, This thread is very helpful. I also started
development from windows but when i reached at the point of passenger,
than I moved to Linux Ubuntu.
I start working with godaddy hosting, but face some problems than i
move to site5.com and successfully upload my first demo project. (its
working)
Now from this thread i understand the difference between Capis and
Passenger.
Thanks for all contributes.
Now again when I upload the project from FTP, I found it is so hard,
Because it is like installing whole application every time, than i
understand the importance of version control system.
I looked for the way to use any thing else other than GIT, because it
is not free, but did not find any thing , my question is that
subversion and GIT work same task or different. If yes than will putty
is right direction to go with subversion.
Thanks a lot
