With the introduction of Phusion Passenger Standalone, some of the established wisdom with regards to Capistrano tasks for managing Passenger are a tad outdated.

In particular, the start and stop tasks for Passenger are typically NOOPs, and only the restart task is deemed relevant. This is arguably no longer the case for standalone Passenger, where start and stop tasks do make sense, as they did back in the mongrel days.

The following Capistrano tasks illustrate how to start, stop and restart a standalone Passenger setup.

These tasks are for a Passenger setup that uses Unix domain sockets, but they can easily be modified for Passenger instances configured for TCP sockets.

    namespace :deploy do

task :start, :roles => :app, :except => { :no_release => t

	module Rack
	class FirebugLogger
	def initialize(app, options = {})
	@app = app
	@options = options
	end

	def call(env)
	status, headers, orig_response = @app.call(env)
	return [status, headers, orig_response] unless (headers["Content-Type"] =~ /html/ && env['firebug.logs'])

	# Exception notifier (rails3) only works as a rack middleware,
	# but what if you need notifications inside a rake task or a script?
	# This is a quick hack around that.
	#
	# Wrap your code inside an exception_notify block and you will be notified of exceptions
	#
	# exception_notify { clear_payments }
	def exception_notify
	yield
	rescue Exception => exception
