Friendly URLs

By default, Rails applications build URLs based on the primary key -- the id column from the database. Imagine we have a Person model and associated controller. We have a person record for Bob Martin that has id number 6. The URL for his show page would be:

/people/6

But, for aesthetic or SEO purposes, we want Bob's name in the URL. The last segment, the 6 here, is called the "slug". Let's look at a few ways to implement better slugs.

A Capistrano Rails Guide

by Jonathan Rochkind, http://bibwild.wordpress.com

why cap?

Capistrano automates pushing out a new version of your application to a deployment location.

I've been writing and deploying Rails apps for a while, but I avoided using Capistrano until recently. I've got a pretty simple one-host deployment, and even though everyone said Capistrano was great, every time I tried to get started I just got snowed under not being able to figure out exactly what I wanted to do, and figured I wasn't having that much trouble doing it "manually".

Symlink for static files

Among applying the changes in the other files in this gist, you need to symlink the directory you are serving the app with in the root app's public directory so that NGINX can serve the static files in the sub-app.

For example, if you have an app at /home/coffeencoke/apps/app.coffeencoke.com/current/public as your root app, and you have the sub app served at http://app.coffeencoke.com/admin, then you need to symlink /home/coffeencoke/apps/admin-app.coffeencoke.com/current/public to /home/coffeencoke/apps/app.coffeencoke.com/current/public/admin like so:

ln -s /home/coffeencoke/apps/admin-app.coffeencoke.com/current/public /home/coffeencoke/apps/app.coffeencoke.com/current/public/admin
