- To run the DB migrate scripts you must specify that you are using the production configuration. One simple way to do this is:
rake RAILS_ENV='production' db:migrate
- Make the public/dispatch.* scripts executable. If you developed originally in Windows then you need to change the first line in each of these dispatch scripts from
#!e:/ruby/bin/ruby
to
#!/usr/bin/ruby1.8
- Enable FastCGI (CGI is ridiculously slow) by changing .htaccess. Change this line
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.cgi [QSA,L]
to
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
- Change the public and log directories to mode 755 (not sure if this is necessary but seems like good practice).
chmod 755 public
chmod 755 log
