==Ruby on Rails 1.2 on the SME Server 7==
'''Web development that doesn't hurt''' http://rubyonrails.org/
Ruby on Rails is an open-source web framework that's optimized for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity. It lets you write beautiful code by favouring over configuration.
Here is how to get it up and running on your SME Server. You need to be root (su -) to do the following actions.
===Add CentOS – testing Repository===
The '''base''' CentOS repositories have an outdated '''ruby''' version, so we need to get it from
the CentOS testing repository. Setup the '''centos-testing''' repository as per below:
db yum_repositories set centos-testing repository \
BaseURL http://dev.centos.org/centos/4.3/testing/i386/ \
Name 'CentOS - testing' \
Visible yes \
GPGKey http://dev.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-testing \
GPGCheck yes \
status disabled
Regenerate the '''yum.conf''' file:
expand-template /etc/yum.conf
===Install Ruby===
Then use yum to install '''ruby''' and associated packages:
yum --enablerepo=centos-testing install ruby ruby-libs ruby-devel \
ruby-mysql ruby-ri ruby-postgres ruby-rdoc ruby-docs
Check that ruby is properly installed with:
# ruby -v
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i386-linux]
===Install RubyGems===
RubyGems http://rubygems.org/ is the ruby packaging system. wget the latest version from the RubyForge repository (http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126). Unpack the tar file and install the package as per below:
wget -c http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/17190/rubygems-0.9.2.tgz
tar xzvf rubygems-0.9.2.tgz
cd rubygems-0.9.2
ruby setup.rb
cd ..
===Install Rails===
With the gem package manager installed, you are now one step away from installing Rails http://rubyonrails.org/
gem install rails –-include-dependencies
==Creating a New Rails Application==
To create a Rails application, open a shell and navigate to a place in your file system where you want to create your application.
> mkdir work
> cd work
work> rails demo
create
create app/controllers
create app/helpers
create app/models
: : :
create log/development.log
create log/test.log
Change to the directory in which your application was created:
work> cd demo
demo> ls -p
app/ config/ doc/ log/ Rakefile script/ tmp/
components/ db/ lib/ public/ README test/ vendor/
Start the embedded webserver:
demo> ruby script/server
=> Booting Mongrel (use 'script/server webrick' to force WEBrick)
=> Rails application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000
** Starting Rails with development environment...
** Rails loaded.
** Loading any Rails specific GemPlugins
** Signals ready. TERM => stop. USR2 => restart. INT => stop (no restart).
** Rails signals registered. HUP => reload (without restart). It might not work well.
** Mongrel available at 0.0.0.0:3000
** Use CTRL-C to stop.
And open up your browser to http://your_server_url:3000 and admire the welcome page of your new Rails application!
