I just got Nesta working. Here is what I did:

I installed a Rails app from the control panel and updated RubyGems for it by following http://docs.webfaction.com/software/rails.html#upgrading-rubygems.
I installed a custom app (listening to port) from the control panel and assigned it to a website.
I then ran the following commands:

gem install nesta
gem install bundler
nesta new testsite.com
cd testsite.com
bundle
nesta demo:content
shotgun -p <port> config.ru

(where <port> is the port that was assigned for my custom application)

Thanks, that was very helpful. Now if I were to run it as a production setup, will it be a good idea to run it using shotgun?

Hi,

Well, shotgun is generally intended for development environments, although it does have a --env=production option.

For production environments it's usually recommended to run it in your own web server using Passenger. Here is a useful URL I found on deploying Sinatra apps: deploying Sinatra with Vlad

Thanks - Will give it a shot.

Thanks! This was very useful, but did you ever get it up and running with nginx/Passenger/Vlad for production? I'd appreciate any pointers on how to do that! :)
