[Brug-talk] rails deployment issues with Dreamhost

[Nick Boucart]

You can also go for another sollution, ie. install ruby and all necessary
gems in your home dir. I happened to do this last week and roughly
documented the process on our blog (more for our reference then anything
else ;) )

Please check

Nick.
