I been working on this problem for a while and so far haven’t been able to solve this. Everything appears to have installed correctly and I double checked everything. Even going so far as to create a detailed Rails deployment plan. So far everything has installed successfully but I can’t seem to get my rails website to actually do what it is supposed to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really want this website to work so badly and it is frustrating to me that the deployment process is hitting a wall. I might be missing something but I believe this is a complete list of tasks that I ran.

This is my website that should be displaying the homepage with a bat on it but isn’t http://162.243.59.103/

Here are the tasks I ran to get rails ready. PS: yes Rails is installed. Step 1 Rails ready

wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.github.com/joshfng/railsready/master/railsready.sh && bash railsready.sh

RVM install(option 2)

Step 2 Install Ruby

rvm install 1.9.3

rvm use --default 1.9.3

Step 3 Install Rails

gem install rails -v=3.2.14

Step 4 Install git

apt-get install git

Step 5 Install Rails/Ruby Packages

apt-get install nodejs

gem install execjs

Step 6 Install prequisites for passenger

apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

apt-get install apache2-threaded-dev

Steps 7 setup passenger

gem install passenger

apt-get install libapache2-mod-passenger

passenger-install-apache2-module

Step 8 expand swap space

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swap bs=1M count=1024

sudo mkswap /swap

sudo swapon /swap

Step 9 rerun passenger install command

passenger-install-apache2-module

Step 10 Apache config

sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf LoadModule passenger_module /home/username/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/passenger-3.0.12/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so PassengerRoot /home/username/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/passenger-3.0.12 PassengerRuby /home/username/.rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.3-p194/ruby

Step 11 Restart Apache

sudo service apache2 restart

–Fails here—

Step 12 Create enable site cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

cp 000-default duelingpets.net

sudo nano duelingpets.net

<VirtualHost *:80> PassengerRuby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.3-p484/ruby ServerAdmin webmaster@duelingpets.net ServerName duelingpets.net DocumentRoot /var/www/duelingpets.net/public <Directory /var/www/duelingpets.net> AllowOverride None Options -MultiViews </Directory> </VirtualHost>

Step 13 Restart Apache again

sudo service apache2 restart

---------Fails again----

Step 14 Removed default ruby from config

mkdir /var/www/duelingpets.net

LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p484/gems/passenger-$ <IfModule mod_passenger.c> PassengerRoot /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p484/gems/passenger-4.0.36

PassengerDefaultRuby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.3-p484/ruby

</IfModule>

Step 15 Restart apache again

sudo service apache2 restart

Step 16 Configure sites-available for duelingpets.net

cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/duelingpets.net

cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/

nano duelingpets.net

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@duelingpets.net ServerName duelingpets.net ServerAlias www.duelingpets.net DocumentRoot /var/www/duelingpets.net/public

or

ServerName www.yourhost.com

!!! Be sure to point DocumentRoot to ‘public’!

DocumentRoot /somewhere/public <Directory /somewhere/public>

This relaxes Apache security settings.

AllowOverride all

MultiViews must be turned off.

Options -MultiViews </Directory> </VirtualHost>

Step 17 Restart Apache

sudo service apache2 restart

Step 18 Enable site

sudo a2ensite your_app_name

sudo a2ensite duelingpets.net

----Fails----

Step 19 Remove file from site-enabled

cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled

rm duelingpets.net

Step 20 Enable site trial 2

sudo a2ensite duelingpets.net

Step 21 Reload Apache

service apache2 reload

Step 22 Turn on passenger

sudo a2enmod passenger

Step 23 Reload Apache 2

service apache2 reload
