Set configuration information in rails.conf

sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/rails.conf

Edit /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf since we use rbenv

App Updates

** Reference : rbenv setting **

From here on out any updates to you app can be handled with a few commands:

cd /home/rails
git pull

If you make changes to the database you may have to also run the migrations:

RAILS_ENV=production bin/rake assets:precompile
sudo service apache2 restart
