passenger<\/code> to verify the passenger installation:-<\/p>\n[js]Phusion Passenger Standalone, the easiest way to run web apps.<\/p>\n
Available commands:<\/p>\n
passenger start Start Phusion Passenger Standalone.
\n passenger stop Stop a Phusion Passenger instance.
\n passenger status Show the status of a running Phusion Passenger instance.<\/p>\n
Run ‘passenger <COMMAND> –help’ for more information about each command.
\n[\/js]<\/p>\n
3.2 Setting up Nginx<\/h3>\n
Nginx must be compiled with Passenger for compatibility. This method is more preferred in comparision of installation from default repository. Installation can be done via Passenger application itself.<\/p>\n
Compiling and installing Nginx with Passenger compatibility:-<\/p>\n
[js]passenger-install-nginx-module[\/js]<\/p>\n
Confirm the choice of language (in our case Ruby). Usually it detects and selects the languages already installed on the server.<\/p>\n
[js]
\nUse <space> to select.
\nIf the menu doesn’t display correctly, ensure that your terminal supports UTF-8.<\/p>\n
\u2023 \u2b22 Ruby
\n \u2b22 Python
\n \u2b22 Node.js
\n \u2b21 Meteor
\n[\/js]<\/p>\n
In next step, select 1st option i.e.<\/p>\n
“Yes download and install Nginx for me
\nPress enter to continue.”<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
4. Creating a sample Rails app\/upload the source code<\/h2>\n
Perform the below steps to create a sample application:-<\/p>\n
[js]
\n# Create a sample Rails app
\ncd \/usr\/local\/src
\nmkdir app
\ncd app
\nrails new testapp
\n\t#This will create the basic directory and file structure for rails app
\n\t# app –> application
\n\t# bin –> any binaries\/executables
\n\t# config –> config dir
\n\t# config.ru
\n\t# db –> DB (SQLLite)
\n\t# Gemfile
\n\t# Gemfile.lock
\n\t# lib –> library dir
\n\t# log –> logs
\n\t# public
\n\t# Rakefile
\n\t# README.rdoc
\n\t# test
\n\t# tmp
\n\t# vendor<\/p>\n
cd testapp<\/p>\n
#create controllers and pages to be used as home page in our app
\nrails generate controller pages
\n[\/js]<\/p>\n
Edit the file app\/controllers\/pages_controller.rb<\/code> and add the following lines to create the home action<\/p>\n[js]class PagesController < ApplicationController
\ndef home
\n @response= "Hello World!"
\nend
\nend [\/js]<\/p>\n
Create the home route in file config\/routes.rb<\/code><\/p>\n[js] root to: ‘pages#home'[\/js]<\/p>\n
Edit the file app\/views\/pages\/home.html.erb <\/code><\/p>\n[js]<%= @response %> [\/js]<\/p>\n
In the above app we have created a variable response<\/code> in pages_controller.rb<\/code> which has the value \"Hello World!<\/code>. This variable is used to display the Hello World<\/code> from the file app\/views\/pages\/home.html.erb <\/code><\/p>\nExecute the following command to set the RAILS_ENV<\/code>.<\/p>\n[js]RAILS_ENV=development<\/p>\n
[\/js]<\/p>\n
Test your app :<\/p>\n
[js]cd \/usr\/local\/src\/app\/testapp
\n rails s
\n #visit the url http:\/\/yourip:3000
\n[\/js]<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
5. Configuring Nginx<\/h2>\n
Edit \/opt\/nginx\/conf\/nginx.conf and add the following directive after the passenger_root <\/code> and passenger_ruby<\/code> directives inside http {.....}<\/code>:-<\/p>\n[js]passenger_app_env development;[\/js]<\/p>\n
Further delete\/comment the below section in server {....}<\/code><\/p>\n[js]# location \/ {
\n# root html;
\n# index index.html index.htm;
\n# }
\n[\/js]<\/p>\n
and add the below lines:-<\/p>\n
[js]root \/usr\/local\/src\/app\/testapp\/public;
\npassenger_enabled on;
\n[\/js]<\/p>\n
Start the Nginx server:-<\/p>\n
[js] \/opt\/nginx\/sbin\/nginx [\/js]<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now, visit the ip of you server http:\/\/yourserverip<\/code>. The Rails default welcome page should be up now.
