Congrats!! Glad you got it working even if it did take a few days ;-) The first few setups I had with nginx had a bunch of the same problems. Eventually you start to realize what works and trouble...

Can you provide more information on what exactly is being deleted. Is this your code base or data in the database? If you have some sort of callback in Capistrano that seeds the database upon dep...

I had a similar problem in the past with www-data and permissions on static assets out of the app's public folder. I did what Chris did and changed my Nginx user to deploy to alleviate the issue. ...

Yeah that's a good idea to do self signed for staging since you can trust it. Nobody else will really be using it so that should work totally fine (and cheaper!)

Your issue is coming because nginx is trying to search for index.html file into /home/deploy/apps/mll/current/public which is not present there. In order to fix, you will need to add passenger with...

I agree. I think a submit an improvement piece would be helpful. It would allow others to add value to the already valuable resources you provide. Plus a lot of us have edge cases which we could...

Haha, that would do it! I imagine that there are a few places where I could clean up the tutorial to show you on which machine to run which commands.

So the problem wasn't with Amazon S3 but was an issue with rmagick/ImageMagick? I'm using CarrierWave and looking to do auto-resize of images on upload. Is there any configuration that needs to h...
