The 'w' in wamp means you're on windows, right? If so--install ruby from the one-click installer:
http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/ Then open a command prompt and say: gem update --system and when that's done: gem install rails and optionally, when that's done: gem install mongrel That should put you in a good position to develop & test. Deployment is another matter--I'm not familiar enough to advise there...

First off - rememebr We are ALL not rocket scientists. The concept is great but the docs fall short for us rookies . . . You would have a HUGE user base if you could get back to SIMPLIFYING the installs. BIG Question : I have Apache, PHP, and mySQL running fine. How do I get Ruby on Rails up and running with my existing setup ( It is the Wamp server package and it works Great. And very SIMPLE to set up I might add ;-) No where have I found a discreet explanation on how to do a new install if you ALREADY have a successful installation of Apache, PHP, and mySQL on your local testing server. Of which I do. I see all kinds of "All in One" installs and separate package installs but it does not show one how to piece it all together if you already have a successful working web server set up. It needs to explain what folders to put what into and how to set up a first test. That would be a good idea I would think? And very specific would help, right? Can anyone here give me the correct info to get started? Any help is much appreciated.
