Hi Alexander,
I've got a MacRuby app happily running very happily with Control Tower. First I
cloned the code from github, and built and installed the macgem package. Then I
also installed rack with
sudo macgem install rack
in order to get some of Rack's built in server functionality. Then a short
script would look like:
require 'rubygems'
require 'control_tower'
require 'rack/utils'
server_options = { :port => 3001, :host => '0.0.0.0', :concurrent => false }
app = Rack::Builder.new do
map "/" do run Rack::File.new("/Users/nick/Sites/") end
end.to_app
@s = ControlTower::Server.new(app, server_options)
if @s
puts 'Starting control tower webserver'
@s.start
else
puts "ERROR: Couldnt build server"
end
This would run a server on port 3001, and expose the files found in your
~/Sites/ directory as top level files
eg. ~/Sites/index.html becomes http://localhost:3001/index.html
Of course you'd need to replace 'nick' with your user homedir name.
