Putting your app into production is usually called "deployment"; you
should be able to find lots of references to that, but most Rails apps
use Capistrano (highly recommended).
Thanks, deployment yes, in terms of Capistrano will look into it but currently only have 5 pages and a lot of the data is loaded from outside rails (the load scripts already existed). In time will look into it. I feel better knowing how things work manually before going the automated route.

"git test branch"? What? Running tests has nothing to do with any
particular git branch. And ideally you'd be writing and running tests
continually throughout development.
Sorry 'git checkout test'. I have develop, test and master branches. When I am ready to test for a release I merge develop into test. Cant see how I don't want to be in test branch for testing or am I doing this all wrong.

What are you calling "config data"? It's not usually something that's
associated with the DB.
There are a few tables, i.e. one tells the data load scripts which XML feeds to use to load data and other data to do with music venues. I prefer doing this as data input forms as it means I can access the data easily from rails (venue name, address, phone number) and validate data. Its data feed configuration which is setup by admins. Think seeds.rb is the answer here.
