Cindy,
Your mileage may vary using the remote dependencies and deploy:check... you
should also have a way of managing gems, this can be done through modern
rails (2.x+) or with a specific gem called geminstaller.

Hi.<br>
<br>
I tried to deploy new Rails app code to a production server the other<br>
day and took down the live site in production. =C2=A0I&#39;d like to avoid =
this<br>
in the future. =C2=A0Something happened in the process that affected the<br=
>
live site. =C2=A0The error log showed that fastthread was not found. =C2=A0=
I had<br>
to go into the fastthread gem and run setup.rb. =C2=A0Then it told me that<=
br>
Rails was not installed so I had to do a gem install Rails. =C2=A0Then<br>
there were other gems that were needed by the application and not<br>
found so I had to reinstall those too.<br>
<br>
I have my own staging server that this all worked on, but the staging<br>
server is able to serve multiple sites so it is not an exact replicate<br>
of the client&#39;s production box. =C2=A0The Apache setup is such that onl=
y<br>
one site can be served from this machine - the document root in Apache<br>
is /project/public.<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve got a couple of questions. 1- Any idea why gems would need to be<b=
r>
reinstalled? =C2=A02- Can I deploy Capistrano without restarting Passenger<=
br>
to put the code onto the production server and then once it&#39;s all<br>
there, change the document root in Apache then do a deploy with the<br>
Passenger restart?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Cindy<br>
