Convert FastCGI to Passenger
Posted by on 16 December 2013 01:27 PM
If you have an existing Ruby on Rails app at HostNine that was deployed with FastCGI, here are the steps to convert it to Passenger:
Note: 'myapp' is used below to represent your Rails Application directory.
  1. Add a route for the root of your site in '~/myapp/config/routes.rb'

    map.root :controller => 'user', :action => 'list'

  2. Edit '~/myapp/public/.htaccess' and comment out the CGI/FastCGI dispatcher

    #RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
    #RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
    #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    #RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
If your website's 'public_html' is not linked to your app (your app is in a subdirectory of 'public_html'), add this to the 'myapp/public/.htaccess.
RailsBaseURI /myapp


That's it!
