Ruby on Rails Support

[LP-Trel]

As of this post Lifelesspeople.com has rolled out experimental Ruby on Rails support on both Aesir and Asgard.

The new option under cPanel will be "Manage Rails Applications" which will allow you to create a rails environment under your account.

After creation you will be able to upload a rails application onto the server to host it on your account.

FAQ:

1) Does Lifelesspeople.com provide shell support for management of Ruby on Rails applications?

At this time Lifelesspeople.com does not provide shell access of any kind for security reasons. During the research into this feature it was decided that local development environments could be used to properly build an application before uploading it to Lifelesspeople.com servers to host it for public visitation.

Note: You do have access to several means of managing your rails applications via the Manage Rails Applications option in cPanel including the ability to use rake.

2) What sort of official support is provided for Ruby on Rails applications?

At this time support is limited to bugs associated with the Manage Rails Applications feature. We will not be able to provide formal support for installed applications.

Limited forum only support for Ruby on Rails may be available as more features are added to the Create Rails Applications.

3) What methods of running Ruby on Rails are offered at Lifelesspeople.com?

We currently provide CGI and FastCGI for Ruby on Rails.

4) What gems are installed? What version of gems are installed? What version of Ruby is installed?

This information is currently not made available due to lack of formal support for the feature. You may ask for informal forum support for installation/upgrade of a gem and for more information regarding the Ruby environment.

Enjoy this new feature and please provide us with feedback regarding your experiences with it on Lifelesspeople.com
