Setting up ruby on rails

jellywerker · 2006-01-14 03:50:42

I am now getting into the stage where I want to start messing around with my new ruby skills with ruby on rails. I have ruby 1.8.4, and rubygems 8.11-1, and now I want to know how to set up lighttpd, fcgi, rails, fcgi-rails, and and postgresql, along with whatever else is needed (probably php and the php fcgi module, so I can have a front-end to the database). I tried the wiki, but it seems outdated. Due to that, I am not getting how to set up /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf, so I simply uninstalled everything dotpac'd it, and got ready for a fresh start.

So can someone help me out?

2 things: 1, I swear this is my last topic for the day, and 2. I will eventually repay all the help that I have received in these last few weeks over all my problems

one thing at a time. first get lighttpd working for static pages..

Then work on getting php-fascgi working.

Then get postgres running..then make sure your php-fcgi can work with postgres..

then get rails setup (gem --install rails)
test run rails using the webrick interface. just run the webrick server scipt inside your rails created dir..
rails test
test/bin/... cant remember the filename/path offhand..

then.. get lighttpd working with rails (this one is pretty easy once you get everything else rolling)..

then.. post your steps on the wiki, so others can see what you did and follow along.

I'd suggest scgi instead of fcgi. Its really easy. You'll also find some documentation how to setup scgi with lighttpd in the link above.

but fcgi is supported by ruby on rails
