Hello again,
I managed to get rake db:create to work, it requires the creation of
an application with the -d postgresql argument. Nevertheless, it
throws a strange message saying that the database already exists. I
will move onwards with the tutorial to see if it really works.
I think this issue should be made clear on the tutorial; some basic
guidelines on which adapter to use could also be helpful.
I read you use Ubuntu (am I correct ?).
When googling for "install ruby on rails ubuntu"
* the first entry points to a page on help.ubuntu.com that talks
about 8.04 and 9.04
* the second entry points to a very short description help.ubuntu.com
* the third page points to a broken page on http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/
* and then we get into private blogs, which may be OK, but are less
authorative
I would volunteer to make a proper write-up for Ruby and Rails on
Ubuntu 10.04
and/or 11.10 with rvm, ruby 1.9.(2|3), postgresql, etc.
Particularly I would also make clear which extra -dev Debian
packages are needed
for native compilation when starting from a vanilla Ubuntu (32 bit
x86) client machine
install.
That could be similar in style to what I did on my blog for Jaunty
(9.04) a few years ago
http://vandenabeele.com/Rails-on-Ubuntu-Jaunty
My goal is to put a correct how-to in the place that is most easily
found by newcomers
that are working on Ubuntu.
Maybe most efficient would be to update the number 1 hit that is the
Ubuntu help Wiki.
Would this be useful, or is this problem solved and did I just not
find the correct
pointers by googling? (in that case, I could update the wiki to
point there or copy
the correct description on the Ubuntu help Wiki).
Thanks for your feedback,
Peter
tl;dr https://gist.github.com/1261571
At Gaslight Software, we are helping a group at a local high school
develop a simple web application and have exactly this same situation.
We went with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ruby 1.9.2, Rails 3.1, and PostgreSQL,
but the steps should be the same.
Configuring Ubuntu 10.04 for Rails Development
http://blog.gaslightsoftware.com/post/11027905735/configuring-ubuntu-10-04-for-rails-development
Our time is limited with them so we're only sure that everything gets
installed, but we've gotten six ubuntu workstations configured and
next week should actually spin up a demo rails app.
