It’s pretty simple, you only have a couple of things to change.
First, in config / environments / production.rb change
config.serve_static_assets = false
to
config.serve_static_assets = true
Second, in your Gemfile, add
gem 'therubyracer-heroku', '0.8.1.pre3'
gem 'pg'
Now you can do bundle install, commit to git, push to heroku and you should be rocking Rails 3.1beta1 :D
If you’re having database issues, I suggest taking a look at this Gemfile by @sferik
UPDATE: I just started a new project, and it seems like there’s something else to change in config / initializers / session_storerb:
AppName::Application.config.session_store :cookie_store, key: '_appname_session'
to
AppName::Application.config.session_store :cookie_store, :key => '_appname_session'
UPDATE 2: Thanks to Jeff Gardner, I now understand why the last update is needed: Heroku’s default stack is still using 1.8.x (until June 1st I believe) and Rails 3.1 beta1 is making use of ruby 1.9.2’s key: value hash syntax. To make it work without changing the file you can simply run this in your console:
heroku create --stack bamboo-mri-1.9.2
if you’re creating a new app, and
heroku stack:migrate bamboo-mri-1.9.2
if you’re migrating an existing one!
Have fun :)
