Rails 3 on dreamhost?

Question

I'd like to deploy a small Rails 3 app on dreamhost (just for testing purposes, nothing serious) and I am wondering if anyone has done it already... Please choose one of the following:

1. I did it and it's super easy, here's how: ...
2. Though I didn't try it, it should be easy, here's how: ...
3. It's quite complicated, but this should get you started: ....
4. NO WAI!!!1!one!1 Set it up on slicehost or another non-shared hosting or you'll die a painful death trying to force it on DH

Thoughts?

Answer 1

The dreamhost machine I have allocated space on, pisces, appears to have upgraded to Rails 3.0.3 yesterday. I only noticed because a Redmine instance broke horribly :(

Answer 2

From Passenger documentation: http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Apache.html#bundler_support

Create a file config/setup_load_paths.rb in your app and add this line:

$: << "<path-where-bundler-gem-was-installed>/lib"

I unpacked bundler gem in vendor/bundle path with this command:

gem unpack bundler --target=vendor/bundle

And the others gems with:

bundle install --deployment

This should work with Dreamhost and Passenger >= 2.2.14
