I'm taking a fresh look at ror and hobo after a couple of years. The "Hobo in Two Minutes" tutorial on the hobo website is not working for me and I'd like some help with that. Maybe someone involved with the hobo project will take a look at the tutorial, if it needs revision.
First it seems to be true that rails no longer uses mysql as the default db? That's an interesting change...postgres would be my preferred db in any case, if I decide to pursue ror and or hobo. I'm on windows xp. I used the windows installer to get ruby 1.8.7 on the box. Then gem install rails. Then gem install hobo. The "Hobo in Two Minutes" tutorial seems to fall apart because sqlite is not installed automatically. Maybe that's already understood by everyone. I think I got sqlite 3 installed after some struggling - the dll and def go into ruby\bin, and then gem install sqlite3-ruby. That generates a heap of error messages like "No definition for _wrap_new_CallbackData" but apparently that's mostly about the build in documentation? So then I go back and delete the thingybob folder and start the tutuorial again. As far as I can tell there are not errors. But when I issue ruby script/server and then browse to http://localhost:3000, it just sits there with 'waiting for http://localhost:3000' in the status bar, forever.
