Ruby on Rails

What is most popular way to deploy apps on non-Heroku machine that has standard Apache/MySQL setup? I would like to be able to deploy my apps (as I learn Rails) to my own dedicated machines. I have already installed Ruby, & rails gem, and I'm able to create apps on that machine without any issues. It is when I develop something localy when I face issue as I don't know how to deploy it "properly"? Do I simply upload entire app folder structure over FTP, run bundle install, config database, and start the app OR is there a faster/easier way?

While there are many ways of deploying rails applications, it's extremely unlikely that a non rails specialist will have installed/configured any of them. If you're looking for an easy way to deploy a rails app, it's hard to beat heroku for simplicity.
