Comment on Moving a Rails/Mongrel site to Phusion Passenger on Ubuntu by Ryan

Hey – thx for posting; found your site after looking for the correct way to reference Passenger in the IfModule section.

Wanted to let you know that you should have a little utility available called “a2enmod” that’ll handle creating the links. There’s a similar script that’s used for enabling vhosts.

Probably doesn’t matter whether you use the tool or do it manually but thought I’d mention it.

[...] Searching the error didn’t provide much help, because the relevant keywords turn up all over the place, but eventually I found a page suggesting that versions of rubygems might be the issue. (More specifically, that some gems don’t play well with some versions of the rubygems binary.) [...]

These sound like pretty good tips. I’m developing a “general” .htaccess for most websites we’re developing here.

Here’s my take on the whole optimization story:

# Deflate on
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml application/xml text/javascript text/css application/x-javascript application/xhtml+xml application/javascript
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary

# ETag off
Header unset ETag
FileETag None

#Expires on
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault A0
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript “access plus 1 weeks”
ExpiresByType text/css “access plus 1 weeks”
ExpiresByType image/gif “access plus 1 weeks”
ExpiresByType image/png “access plus 1 weeks”
ExpiresByType image/x-icon “access plus 1 weeks”
ExpiresByType image/ico “access plus 1 weeks”
ExpiresByType image/jpeg “access plus 1 weeks”
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash “access plus 1 weeks”
ExpiresByType video/x-flv “access plus 1 weeks”

That’s the .htaccess part. Also, I like putting Javascript files at the bottom of the page for quicker loading. Hope I helped you guys with this!
