I'm migrating a Rails application to a dedicated server. Can it be set up without a cPanel installation? It seems like I could use just Apache and Passenger.

Cheers!

  • Questions must demonstrate a **minimal understanding of the problem being solved**. Try including attempted solutions, why they didn't work, and the *expected* results. See [How can I ask better questions on Server Fault?](http://meta.serverfault.com/q/3608/118258) for further guidance. – HopelessN00b Feb 22 '16 at 01:39

cPanel isn't needed for anything, it is merely a web interface to make some tasks easier for inexperienced users. You will find that most people over here dislike, as it tends to cause surprises for those who do know what they are doing.

  • Thanks for the quick response. Yeah, I figured it was something like that after realising I hadn't used it ever for the VPS install of the same app. Cheers. – t56k Jun 19 '13 at 00:25

To deploy a Rails app to a dedicated server you need:

  • a ruby interpreter comprehensive of the gem command
  • the gems rake and bundler
  • a webserver like Apache or Nginx
  • a module talking the language of Rails (Rack), can be Passenger or Unicorn or Thin.
