Rough Outline

svn project into directory

set apache virtual hosting to point to directory

set permissions for rails using setfacl so that log files can be written

listing of production_start.sh goes here (with explanations of each line, please)

Mongrel_rails Why set RAILS_ASSET_ID to nothing?

• If ENV['RAILS_ASSET_ID'] is unset or nil, then Rails will stat the target file to determine it’s mtime. This will happen for every single static asset on your page, and every time the page is rendered.
