Hi Ben & Cynthia, Thanks for your feedback. Actually I was able to make some headway today by using Ruby 1.9.2 with Rails 3.0.7 from this URL (very useful for a non RVM install):
http://torqueo.net/installing-ruby-192-and-rails-3-stable-on-ubuntu/ Then I installed Passenger from the modrails website gem install passenger. So now the db works, at least sqlite3 so far, passenger is working at least in passenger-status. I'm on Ubuntu 10.4 LTS. I think its helpful knowing how to deploy, part of the reason I'm switching to Rails vs staying on Coldfusion is the interest in continuing to learn, grow, stretch. So its enjoyable getting into Debian 6, trying Ubuntu via the Linode VPS images. The Lincde guides not leading to a compatible workable Rails install lost me some time, but on the other hand I become far more familiar with Linux. Here's my sample url: m-odel.com Its loading fine for htm, however files like index.rb or index.rhtml, nada. Firefox just loads them as downloads. Pardon my ignorance, but per my prior experience we just load pages. Perhaps the Ruby pages need some code at the top for Passenger to take over. Heroku is my backup option, but I figured its healthier to know how to deploy a server, I'd like to learn RVM, Capistrano, Chef, these are all new things we never hear of in the Coldfusion world. Heck, I haven't even used Git before:) Appreciate any tips on ref why the rhtml and rb files are not processing at the moment. Only reason I'm eager to build something is no particular deadline, I'm just excited to build an app in Rails. Rails new command works fine, db:migrate, db:create all fine. So seems Rake is working fine. I figured out the gemfile and bundle install method. One other thing, at this snapshot in time, which is the better performer - Ruby 1.9.2 or Ruby Enterprise with 1.8.7 in the real world? Best, Pardeep. -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby
