Re: [PhillyOnRails] Mongrel/Ubuntu Newb Question

["Brian Donahue" <brian@pigeonmoon.com>]

OK, so I'm going around in circles with this.

Basically, I just want to set up Redmine on apache on a non-80 port.  I have the app running via WEBrick fine.  I've been trying to get a mongrel cluster going for days, and it's one step forward two steps back every time.  Right now I get a blank page, but no errors starting the cluster, apache, etc.

I don't really care about superior performance, this site will have < 10 users.  I just want to get the site up and running on an ubuntu box.  I work out of my house, and only have one external IP address, so I need to use an alternate port (80 is in use).  

Can anyone point me to a "Rails deployment for idiots" link that could get this site running with fastcgi, lighttpd, or whatever the (short bus) kids are using these days?

I'd even settle for a link showing me how to run WEBrick as a startup service on ubuntu at this point :)

Thanks to everyone for their advice above.  I was able to use it all to get one step closer, but was not smart enough to actually make something work :)
