Here is what I have - it may be a little old now - from notes to get our CentOS sever running.
INSTALLING RUBY ON RAILS: ========================= 1) Install Ruby See: http://rubyonrails.org/down wget http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.6.tar.gz tar -zxvf ruby-1.8.6.tar.gz cd ruby-1.8.6 ./configure --with-openssl-dir=/usr/lib/openssl make sudo make install These MAY not be needed. Come back and do them if things don't go right in install ruby gems and rails. 1a) zlib support cd ruby-1.8.6 ruby extconf.rb --with-zlib-include=/usr/include --with-zlib-lib=/usr/ lib make sudo make install 1b) openssl cd ruby-1.8.6/ext/openssl ruby extconf.rb make sudo make install 2) Install ruby gems wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/28174/rubygems-0.9.5.tgz tar -zxvf rubygems-0.9.5.tgz cd rubygems-0.9.5 sudo ruby setup.rb config sudo ruby setup.rb setup sudo ruby setup.rb install 3) Install Rails: sudo gem install --version '2.1.0' rails --include-dependencies 4) Install Mongrel sudo gem install mongrel mongrel_cluster On Feb 10, 11:14 am, Paryank <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for your help.
