cpanel_passenger

DESCRIPTION:

This gem consists of a single script that enables a cpanel account to run a Ruby on Rails App. Many more improvements could/should be made to handle more cases.

Originally I was going to do a lot more with this, but then decided that I didn’t need to for my needs.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

  • It currently configures a Passenger enabled Apache web server for the provided rails app

  • It doesn’t do anything else at the moment

SYNOPSIS:

  • Generate/Setup Config (simple)

cpanel-passenger –username=peppyheppy –path=/home/peppyheppy/rails_app

  • View previously generated config

cpanel_passenger –username=peppyheppy –path=/home/peppyheppy/rails_app –show-current-config

  • Add Additional Custom Passenger Configurations

cpanel-passenger –username=peppyheppy –path=/home/peppyheppy/rails_app –misc-config=“PassengerMaxRequests 100,PassengerStatThrottleRate 2” (see www.modrails.com/documentation/Users guide.html for more parameters)

REQUIREMENTS:

Must be run as root since it will modify the Apache httpd.conf files.

INSTALL:

sudo gem install peppyheppy-cpanel-passenger
