I have a similar scenario and I just create a password for every Customer

downcase on create and when you authenticate

What about setting a password for the user then in step 3, having the user set (change) his/her password?

I've been waiting for this: 1-Click Install Ruby on Rails on Ubuntu 12.10
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-1-click-install-ruby-on-rails-on-ubuntu-12-10-with-digitalocean

Has anyone checked it out?

I just noticed they have "1-Click Install Ruby on Rails on Ubuntu 12.10"
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-1-click-install-ruby-on-rails-on-ubuntu-12-10-with-digitalocean

This was also useful for ubuntu 12

(using ubuntu 12.10)

vim ~/.bashrc # add rbenv to the top
vim: command not found

So I used

sudo apt-get install vim

I'm able to rehash now

mv /Users/jason/.rbenv/shims/.rbenv-shim /Users/jason/.rbenv/shims/.rbenv-shim2

I'm not sure why but it started working after I ran

brakeman -o output.html

after gem install brakeman and adding it to my gemfile, I keep getting

zsh: command not found: brakeman

and rbenv rehash gives me

rbenv: cannot rehash: /Users/jason/.rbenv/shims/.rbenv-shim exists

Here's what I got

Restarting nginx: nginx: [emerg] "upstream" directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/<appname>:1

So I had to keep these lines outside the server block to make it work:

include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;

All of my apps had:

listen 80;

except for my main app, it had:

listen 80 default deferred;

So the only difference is I don't have a default app (IP address gets 404 Not Found)

Thanks for your post, that DRYs it up a bit.

You can't use "upstream unicorn", you have to customize for each app "upstream unicorn_app1". I got stuck there too.

Give this a try

:primary => true

Got it. I had to customize nginx.conf

upstream unicorn_app1 {
  server unix:/tmp/unicorn.app1.sock fail_timeout=0;
}

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name app1.com;
  root /home/deployer/apps/app1/current/public;

  location ^~ /assets/ {
    gzip_static on;
    expires max;
    add_header Cache-Control public;
  }

  try_files $uri/index.html $uri @unicorn;
  location @unicorn {
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_pass http://unicorn_app1;
  }

  error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
  client_max_body_size 4G;
  keepalive_timeout 10;
}

I used this with my "main" app

  listen 80 default deferred;

Do you see any ways to improve this?

How would I configure multiple websites on the same box? I know they would each be in a different directory by application name but how would I redirect using domain name. I know I would have to use apache virtual hosts but with Nginx I'm not sure.

Would it be better to have one IP address or multiple (looks like $1/IP on Linode).

Perfect, thanks!

Any suggestions to avoid class="span3"? It seems like it would be a maintenance headache.

Docs:
"Use the same .span* classes from the grid system for input sizes."

Thanks Ryan, this is perfect for me. My pages are very complex involving multiple models and they only change once per day. I only have a couple user-specific elements to load via JS. Time to get to work implementing this.

I've wanted to implement this for some time now but had a few questions:
1) Should the URL change? i.e. /?page=2
2) What happens when you click a product then click back, are all the same products still loaded? I have seen this problem with a couple websites that use Endless Page.

Thanks

Rather than using acts_as_list could we just give the position a default value? (i.e. 10000)

Ryan Bates is a God!!
