When I want neato http urls for my repository, as well as simple anonymous checkouts, this is how I roll:
Rails setup and deployment with Capistrano 2.0 on Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty)
A very specific post here to serve as a reminder the next time I have to do this: Setting up Ubuntu 7.04 with rails, Apache 2.2, mongrel (clustered), MySQL5, subversion, and deploying with capistrano 2.0. So bleeding edge!
Deploying a Rails site with Apache 2.2, mod_proxy_balancer, and mongrel
There are ton of articles out there on this, but none of them worked 100% for me. So I wanted to post the steps I usually take, so I can refer back to it the next time I have to do this.
