Dear friends, I followed the guide on techoctave.com - techoctave Resources and Information. and successfully deployed two apps on the same web server, some months ago. Then when I upgraded to Rails 2.3.13.rc1 everything seems to be OK, but when I visit my app with the browser all that I get is the Welcome page from Nginx. Here is my nginx.conf:

worker_processes 4; http { passenger_root /home/luis/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p392/gems/passenger-3.0.19; passenger_ruby /home/luis/.rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.3-p392/ruby;

server { listen 80; server_name domain.com; root /home/lacy/public_html; passenger_enabled on; passenger_base_uri /myapp1; location / { root html; index index.html index.htm; } error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html; location = /50x.html { root html; } }

Here is my deploy.rb:

require “bundler/capistrano” require “rvm/capistrano”
set :rvm_ruby_string, :local

set :domain, ‘www.myapp1.domain.com’
set :application, “myapp1” set :repository, “git@github.com:xxxxxxxx/myapp1.git” set :branch, “master”

set :scm, “git”
set :user, “myapp1”
set :deploy_to, “/home/myapp1/apps/#{application}” set :deploy_via, :remote_cache set :copy_strategy, :export

set :use_sudo, false set :keep_releases, 3

role :web, ‘my IP’ role :app, ‘my IP’
role :db, ‘my IP’, :primary => true

set :port, 22

after ‘deploy:update_code’ do run “cd #{release_path}; RAILS_ENV=production rake assets:precompile” end

If you are using Passenger mod_rails uncomment this:

namespace :deploy do task :start do ; end task :stop do ; end task :restart, :roles => :app, :except => { :no_release => true } do run “#{try_sudo} touch #{File.join(current_path,‘tmp’,‘restart.txt’)}” end end

Curiously /opt/nginx/logs/error.log doesn’t report anything. I am fighting with this problem during many days without any solution. I’m very tired and under hard pressure from my client, Does anybody have a hint, where to look for my mistake? Thanks in advance!

Try to create database on server $> rake db:create RAILS_ENV=production

replace this:

root /home/lacy/public_html;

on this

root /home/lacy/your-app-name/current/public;

Remove this:

location / { root html; index index.html index.htm; } error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html; location = /50x.html { root html; }

Dont use ‘www’

set :domain, ‘www.myapp1.domain.com’

Be sure you’ve added ‘domain.com’ and ‘myapp1.domain.com’ in your /etc/hosts file

Make the same

set :deploy_to, " /home/lacy/your-app-name"

and in your nginx config file

root /home/lacy/your-app-name/current/public;

After changing your nginx.cong file restart nginx

$> sudo service nginx stop

$> sudo service nginx start

(or $> sudo service nginx reload && sudo service nginx restart)
