Exist Goes Indoor Wall Climbing

Exist Global goes to sports for the month of June and July and last weekend June 05, 2008 Exist folks leave their laptops to go wall climbing!
Most of us, including me were first time climbers but of course some are already mountain climbers like Emman.

Our instructor made a quick run through on the basics of wall climbing since we haven't a little bit of idea on it.
First, he showed us the *harness and the step by step process of wearing it to protect us while we are climbing.
Then, what to observe while climbing like the rope should be in front between our shoulders and not at the back or at the side of the body so may not get hurt in case we fall.
And when going down you can let go and free fall and let the *belay take your load down, securing your feet on the wall to prevent bumping.
You can be a *belayer too while you are not climbing or be a photographer hehehe.

*Harness - a support consisting of an arrangement of straps for holding something to the body (especially one supporting a person suspended
*Belay - a rope management technique used to ensure that a fall taken by a climber can be quickly arrested; belay techniques are also used for additional safety/control in rappelling, raising and lowering systems, and for mountain stream crossings.
*Belayer - the person paying out or taking in the rope for a climber.

A little stretching and now we are ready to climb. Better say it with pictures!

Deploying Rails Application in Morph AppSpace

Deploy your Rails applications in a fault-tolerant environment
with load balancers, private database, backups, and monitoring
— instantly expandable on the fly in case you get slashdotted.

Deploying your Rails application to a Morph AppSpace is a snap.
You create an account and then download a pre-configured Capistrano
recipe. Make a quick update of your SVN location and run the CAP command.
That’s it. Within a few minutes, your application is up and running,
ready for the world. (taken from Mor.ph)


I know you are quite familiar with Morph AppSpace
and this is just a quick simple steps on how to do deploy
your rails application in Morph.

Assumptions:

1. Your are using Subversion in your Rails application,
if not refer to this post.

2. You need to have an existing Morph Account, if none
you can sign-up for free here.

3. You have already installed Capistrano.

4. Deploying should be done in Linux environment (currently)

*Updated: I first tried deploying the application using Windows but it had errors during deployment. Since I had Linux and the deployment in Linux is pretty sweet with no errors at all, that's why I assumed it won't work for Windows.

But hey am wrong hehehe :) you need to tweak things in Windows (as usual) to make it work.

Steps:

1. Go to Morph Panel and create a new subscription

2. Click "Create Data Base". This will create an initial database setup
for your application.

3. Click "Download CAP File". This is the pre-configured Capistrano recipe
that Morph created for deploying your rails application.

4. Update the CAP(Capistrano) file, by setting your repository location.
e.g.
set :repository, nil => set :repository, 'http://svn.exist.com/svn/railsapp/trunk'

5. Run the CAP file.
>> cap -f morph_deploy.rb morph:deploy

a. This will get the application's code in svn.
b. If prompted for Morph Authentication, enter your Morph username/password.
c. Then this will upload the code in a S3.
d. If message is "Code upload is Done", your application is now ready for the world.

You can access it using the domain you specified in your subscription.
e.g http://your_apps_domain.morphexchange.com/
Your rails application is now available 24/7 via Morph AppSpace!
