Deploy to HostGator

This page needs wikifying!

• Copy tarball of desired Server Git repo to HostGator
• Unzip to ~/public_html/mtmserver
• Wrap entire contents of server.rb in a Ruby class definition: class MTM < Sinatra::Base
  • Leave require statements out of class def, at beginning of file
  • Bring require for routes to end of file, after end of wrapper class
• Wrap each route file in class MTM, monkey-patching class from server.rb
  • classify.sh script at end of page will auto-patch route files. Do not leave in routes/ folder.
• Use existing server.cgi to call server.rb. (Contents at end of page if needed.)
• In .htaccess file:
  • Ensure Options ExecCGI is on
  • Add a CGI handler for .cgi and .rb files
  • Use mod_rewrite with base / to prepend server.cgi to requests if not already present
  • Full contents at end of page if needed
