I followed the tutorial on railscasts.com concerning deployment to a VPS and got after a couple adjustments ran cap deploy:setup and cap deploy:cold without getting back any errors. I ssh’d into my droplet and restarted both Unicorn and Nginx but now i get a “can’t establish connection error.”
In the past I would use cpanel to take a look at the logs to see what error was being thrown…is there a way to check why my site is down?

Well it looks like my rails app is installed to root@estimaterer:/home/root/apps/contests/current per capistrano and git instructions… <br>While there is still the rails app installed to root@estimaterer:/home/rails. <br>I’m guessing the site is trying to run the app in the home/rails setup. Do i have to delete the original rails installation?
@cj.miyake: You should deploy it to /home/rails instead, I’m not sure if that railscasts video covers that though.
