Deploy rack based application on shared hosting using Passenger (hostmonster)

Prepare the application

Create folder ~/yourapp
Create folder ~/yourapp/tmp
Create file ~/yourapp/config.ru with the following content:

app = proc do |env|
    [200, { "Content-Type" => "text/html" }, ["hello, <b>world</b>"]]
end
run app

Configure the web root

In the ~/public_html folder create/modify .htaccess with the following content:

PassengerAppRoot /home/.../yourapp

where /home/.../yourapp is a full path to ~/yourapp

Restart the Passenger

Sometimes after updating config.ru Passenger has to be restarted (otherwise the application does not get updated). To do this simply go to ~/yourapp and

touch tmp/restart.txt
