consulting a network admin for rails and php applications [closed]

Question

I'm a web developer who writes most of the time rails applications. Next month I'm going to switch from my current VPS to linode.

I'm wondering how much it would cost to properly set (or teach me how to do it) everything to get my app up and running.

My requirements are probably: nginx/apache, REE/ruby, passenger, full blown php environment, system wide RVM, search engine such a sphinx, being able to perform cronjobs.

I have some knowledge of unix and I was able to install everything I needed on my development system. However I had quite a few issues setting up everything on my production server.

Answer 1

This question is impossible to answer. It's a bit like asking "how much is a car?".

There are vps providers that "manage" the server for you. For instance: http://www.liquidweb.com/ruby-on-rails.html.

I'm not necessarily saying liquidweb is the best vps provider. Just kind of pointing you in the right direction.

Answer 2

Hire a consultant to setup/manage your production server.
