So I was revisiting how I deploy my rails site (brockbouchard.net) and I stumbled upon something called “Phusion Passenger”, also known as “mod_rails”. I had been previously using Mongrel, but it turns out mod_rails makes deploying a Rails site as simple as placing the app in a directory on the web server. No more ports or proxies or confusing Apache vhost files. Check it out!
