No longer worry about growing logfiles or rotating everything properly, use autorotate!
- mkdir /var/log/autorotate
-
# /etc/logrotate.d/autorotate /var/log/autorotate/*.log { daily missingok rotate 2 compress notifempty copytruncate create 0666 deploy users } -
whatever_you_want >> /var/log/autorotate/someting_new.log
It will be rotated automatically
Hope this helps someone, took some time to get it working 
Making a certificate
sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl sudo /usr/sbin/make-ssl-cert /usr/share/ssl-cert/ssleay.cnf /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem sudo a2dissite default-ssl sudo a2enmod ssl sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Configure passenger
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAlias *.something.com RailsEnv development DocumentRoot /apps/something/public </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:443> SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem ServerAlias *.something.com RailsEnv development DocumentRoot /apps/something/public </VirtualHost>

The normal answer to most ssh related problems is: “use public/private keys”
but sometimes this does not work…
What i did regularly was this:
- ssh to xxx@asdads.com
- enter password
- sudo su admin
- cd /apps/hosts/some_project
Thats not very complicated, but its frustrating. What I do now is: “sshxx”, which executes this excpect script in ~/bin/sshxx
(For Ubuntu you need to “sudo apt get install expect” first)
Update:
- the basic installation can be done via “passenger-install-apache2-module –auto”
- a better script that does the whole job can be found in cap-recipes
Took me some minutes to figure this out, so here for your laziness-pleasure (for Ubuntu):
Usage
To install passenger or update to the newest release:
cap install_passenger
Install
#deploy.rb
desc "Install Passenger"
task :install_passenger do
install_passenger_module
config_passenger
end
desc "Install Passenger Module"
task :install_passenger_module do
sudo "gem install passenger --no-ri --no-rdoc"
input = ''
run "sudo passenger-install-apache2-module" do |ch,stream,out|
next if out.chomp == input.chomp || out.chomp == ''
print out
ch.send_data(input = $stdin.gets) if out =~ /(Enter|ENTER)/
end
end
desc "Configure Passenger"
task :config_passenger do
version = 'ERROR'#default
#passenger (2.0.3, 1.0.5)
run("gem list | grep passenger") do |ch, stream, data|
version = data.sub(/passenger \(([^,]+).*/,"\\1").strip
end
puts " passenger version #{version} configured"
passenger_config =<<-EOF
LoadModule passenger_module /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-#{version}/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-#{version}
PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby1.8
EOF
put passenger_config, "src/passenger"
sudo "mv src/passenger /etc/apache2/conf.d/passenger"
end
