Yes, Im new to Ruby. COming from PHP/Java world. I DON'T want to learn ruby, sigh. Anyway I got a project that is done in ruby and it need some modifications sometimes.
So until now, dont know how, I managed fixing a few things on that application. Sometimes was about setting a page to show more fields than before. Or maybe block a page redirecting it to an access denied page. But now things are gotting more serious and bigger modifications are needed. I think I can manage doing that. But working like have done until now is VERY unefficient. Basically, Im working directly on a test server. I NEVER managed (this is the real big problem) in installing the app, correctly, on my local machine. Im getting mad in trying to do it it but with no success. Thus the problem is about succesing in making the local app working. Explaining in details everything I guess would make most of you stop reading this post. So I try with another strategy. Here it comes: I am on MAC. Ruby is installed by default. I MUST use Apache as server. So I put a virtual host poiting to /MY_PATH_RO_ROR_APP/public When typing http://localhost/ then I see the content of the public folder. The APP is "empty". Im not using things like generate or scaffolding. Why? Well, because my thought was to just copy all the application located on the test-server and making it work. Is that bad? I dont know. I would prefer not to go through all ruby stuff. If it is bad it is ok, as long as this is not the cause of the thing that the app is not working. What I need to do is to create a controller manually and connect it through the route.rb. i create a file in the app folder named product_controller.rb: class ProductController < ApplicationController def show render :text => 'abcd' return end end Now I want to map the route. How can I do this? I tried different ways. For example: map.resources :product or map.connect ':controller/:action/:id' or map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format' or map.connect ':product/:show' Well, everytime I try then to type something in the browser. I try for example: localhost/product/1 localhost/product/show localhost/product/1/show localhost/product Well, all the time I can see the same error in the log: File doesnt exist. Right now Im thinking that the url-requests are managed by apache. And that apache doesnt understand that this is a ROR app? Is that the problem maybe??? And does anyone know how to make apache understand that that one is a ruby app?? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
