Well, sure, LAMP is easy to set up if you're working in PHP; that's one of the huge advantages PHP has over most other options. You want to set up and deploy to a Rails server, though, that's going to be a bit more effort.
- phillmv 14y ago>You want to set up and deploy to a Rails server, though, that's going to be a bit more effort. I do that regularly enough. For single server setups, I've got it down to about 60-90 minutes - and that's because I've been too lazy to automate it.
- cantankerous 14y agoDays/Months of effort?
- jiggy2011 14y agoNot too much more difficult , reverse proxying with apache is only a few lines in the conf file.
- ulisesrmzroche 14y agoLike Phil said, it doesn't take more than an hour if you're feeling lazy about it. I've automated it with Chef, but I haven't timed it or anything. Less than 10 minutes for sure.
- ryan_f 14y agoIt's pretty cheap to host your rails app on a server such as Heroku and that takes minutes to deploy.
- kenrikm 14y agoHeroku is Free for most small things and reasonable if you only need one instance. Not as easy as Parse but far from rocket science. git push heroku master - FTW.
- jamesgeck0 14y agoI've actually had an easier time setting up Phusion Passenger with Apache than I've had setting up PHP. Ease of deployment isn't necessarily a major advantage in PHP's corner anymore.
- kenrikm 14y agoRails is not the difficult after you have done it a few times, just line up your console commands and get to work most of the time is waiting for stuff to download/compile.
