Before we do anything else, we should run an update to make sure that all of the packages we want to install are up to date
Hint " im not going to describe how to install RoR google it before you proceed this article .
first of all make sure that all of the packages we want to install are up to date
sudo apt-get update
Phusion is the company that develops Passenger and they recently put out an official Ubuntu package that ships with Nginx and Passenger pre-installed.
We'll be using that to setup our production server because it's very easy to setup.
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 561F9B9CAC40B2F7
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 561F9B9CAC40B2F7
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates
# Add Passenger APT repository
sudo sh -c 'echo deb https://oss-binaries.phusionpassenger.com/apt/passenger trusty main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/passenger.list'
sudo apt-get update
# Install Passenger & Nginx
sudo apt-get install -y nginx-extras passenger
now lets start Our Nginx Server
sudo service nginx start
now open Nginx Config file then uncomment those lines to
##
# Phusion Passenger
##
# Uncomment it if you installed ruby-passenger or ruby-passenger-enterprise
##
passenger_root /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/phusion_passenger/locations.ini;
passenger_ruby /home/deploy/.rbenv/shims/ruby; # If you use rbenv
# passenger_ruby /home/deploy/.rvm/wrappers/ruby-2.1.2/ruby; # If use use rvm, be sure to change the version number
# passenger_ruby /usr/bin/ruby; # If you use ruby from source
as for
passenger_ruby if you use rbenv point the path to it else use
passenger_ruby /usr/bin/ruby;
now lets install Mysql to use it with ROR
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient-dev
after every thing successfully done
create a new rails project with sudo
sudo rails new newApp -d mysql
notice " Dont forget to use sudo while you create the rails project
after creating the project move to it then open Gemfile and uncomment the follow line
# gem 'therubyracer', platforms: :ruby
just remove the # then run
$ sudo bundle install && bundle install
final step is to setup your Virtual Host
Open up /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default in your text editor and we will replace the file's contents with the following:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ;
server_name newapp.dev;
passenger_enabled on;
rails_env production;
root /path/to/newApp/public;
# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root html;
}
}
this should work for you if you had any issue just contact me or leave a comment
Enjoy
