htaccess modification for restarting passenger apps · Wiki · Gateways / awesim-documentation

Modify your .htaccess file under your rails or django app directory:

cd ~/awesim_dev/rails1
touch .htaccess
echo "PassengerRestartDir `pwd`/tmp" >> .htaccess
echo "PassengerAppRoot `pwd`" >> .htaccess

So that it looks something like this:

-bash-3.2$ cat .htaccess
RailsEnv development
PassengerRestartDir /nfs/17/efranz/awesim_dev/rails1/tmp
PassengerAppRoot /nfs/17/efranz/awesim_dev/rails1

This will allow touch tmp/restart.txt to restart the passenger app properly.
