Hello ,

My previous seminar went well. Now I have an another query, if you help me in this also.
As there is a concept of remoting in .net,
is this possible to deploy the components in ROR and to make these components communicate with each other as done in remoting concept?
Is this possible in ROR?
Please guide me.

Thanks
Harbans

hello friends, iam looking for an answer of my question regarding deploying of ror app on different servers. Question is that : can we deploy our app on different servers without using capistrano? How much work and what type of work have to be done to deploy such app?
i will be thankful to you.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for that snippet. It does sound better having Capistrano take care of the spinner script rather than keeping it in the repository. I'm sure I'll find it very valuable when deploying my upcoming project. Thanks!

The code above did not come out well. Let's try that again.


  namespace :spinner do
    desc  :app do
      dispatcher_type = fetch(:dispatcher_type, 'mongrel')
      dispatcher_instances = fetch(:dispatcher_instances, 3)
      dispatcher_bind_ip = fetch(:dispatcher_bind_ip, '127.0.0.1')
      dispatcher_starting_port = fetch(:dispatcher_starting_port, 8000)
      rails_env = fetch(:rails_env, 'production')

      script =  0755
    end
  end

Nice writeup. Regarding spin, I find it useful to add a task to create it rather than have it in svn.


namespace :deploy do
  namespace :spinner do
    desc  :app do
      dispatcher_type = fetch(:dispatcher_type, 'mongrel')
      dispatcher_instances = fetch(:dispatcher_instances, 3)
      dispatcher_bind_ip = fetch(:dispatcher_bind_ip, '127.0.0.1')
      dispatcher_starting_port = fetch(:dispatcher_starting_port, 8000)
      rails_env = fetch(:rails_env, 'production')

      script =  0755
    end
  end
end

Then, use a trigger to execute it:


after "deploy:update_code", "deploy:spinner:write"

Note, this is for cap 2.x.

Great write-up. I found the information regarding the the missing 'script/spin' file helpful. Thanks ;)
