\necho \"existing rails application on another server, let's move it over to our root at \/var\/www\/\"
\necho \"sudo mv myrailsapp \/var\/www\/\"<\/p>\n

\necho \"to spawn fastcgi on \"
\necho \"port 8888. Make sure you give it execute permissions using\"

\necho \"been modified only for Ubuntu's PHP path. Don't forget to put it into \"
\necho \"\/var\/www\/phpmyadmin\"<\/p>\n

echo \"13. We're *almost* done. Next step is to configure Nginx. Here's a sample nginx.conf file\"
\necho \"for your \/etc\/nginx\/ folder. It's set up to handle one rails app and phpmyadmin. Adding \"
\necho \"additional servers just means more server blocks.\"<\/p>\n

echo \"14. Now that we've got everything set up, let's turn this sucker on!\"
\necho \"Step 1: PHP: . \/var\/www\/phpmyadmin\/fastcgi_script\"
\necho \"Step 2: Mongrel: \/etc\/init.d\/mongrel_cluster start\"
\necho \"Step 3: Nginx: \/etc\/init.d\/nginx\/ start\"<\/p>\n

echo \"References:\"<\/p>\n

echo \" * There's lots of great documentation for Mongrel here.\"
\necho \" * There's an entire wiki devoted to Nginx in English\"
\necho \" * Ezra Zygmuntowicz is the man!\"
\necho \" * Russ Brooks has a great HowTo as well\"<\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
