DreamHost Supports Phusion Passenger

Posted by geetarista May 21, 2008

I discussed previously that I switched over to DreamHost for this website and I have been very happy with them so far.  Something that made me even happier was their announcement of DreamHost support for Phusion Passenger. This is huge for both Ruby and Rails since DreamHost is a major hosting provider and will provide a cheaper solution to other Rails hosting providers. Using Phusion with DreamHost is super easy and I tried it out just to see how easy it was.

I first started on their Passenger wiki page which gives just a few steps to get a Rails app working. This is literally all I had to do to set up an installation of Typo:

  1. Transfer over my typo folder to my server
  2. Set up a sub-domain with the Passenger option pointing to my typo/public folder
  3. Set up the databases

That was literally all I had to do. Check it out. I will probably try and convert this site over to a Rails blogging system soon.
