[Radiant] dreamhost
1. I'm new to ror and am reviewing cms systems (current and future) for my company. I was wondering if you might update your dreamhost install directions, as radiant is an installed gem. Do I still need to install my own gems? These configuration issues seem to get in the way of my eval. When I ran gem install radiant it came back with some path warnings which is apparently why the radiant command doesnt work, so now Im supposed to add things to my .bash_profile? I dont have to do that for other gem programs i've tried thanks ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
Re: [Radiant] dreamhost
There's an extensive guide at http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Ruby_on_Rails Deployment of Rails apps seems to be a little different everywhere you go, so for evaluating CMSs, you should probably just run it locally. I can vouch that Radiant does indeed run on Dreamhost, though. -- Jon On Nov 9, 2009, at 10:36 AM, Brian Wolf wrote: 1.

Do I still need to install my own gems? if you want to run a current version of radiant and/or have any control over the environment yes you should install your own gems. These configuration issues seem to get in the way of my eval. then ignore these configuration issues and do as was suggested by others and do your evaluation on your local computer. trying to evaluate anything on dreamhost's notoriously crappy platform seems like an unnecessary pain to put yourself through. if you must do the evaluation on a remote server have a look at http://heroku.com/ you can get started for free and their platform is actually built to run ruby applications. ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
[Radiant] Dreamhost says Passenger ignores ENV
I've been trying to get Jason Garber's RedClot4 extension to work on my Dreamhost account. Dreamhost support tell me that Passenger ignores environment variables. IS THIS REALLY SO ? OK, so having GEM_PATH set in my .bash_profile would be ignored, then and so all the stuff about local gems would be pointless. So what I did instead was put the ENV settings in config/environment.rb This makes them inside and not imported from the environment. That didn't work either. Dreamhost support told me That still doesn't work, unfortunately, ANY environment variables do not work within passenger. It's not possible to get custom environment settings within passenger working. This does not make sense to me. This isn't within Passenger, this should be the ruby code itself. I'm now at a complete loss. Dreamhost suggest using fcgi instead of Passenger. Can anyone confirm this shortcoming of Passenger? Can anyone account for why ? I find it hard to beleive that Passenger ignores all of ENV. This http://craigjolicoeur.com/blog/2008/11/set-rails_env-for-phusion-passenger-on-dreamhost/ seems to imply that settings in config/environment.rb work. I also note that Dreamhost's own documentation at http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Passenger seems to contradict what support tells me: A couple of technical notes ... * You can use your local gem repository if you set ENV['GEM_PATH'] = 'path-to-your-gem-repository' in the config/environment.rb file. The same path should be set in shell's environment variables GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH so you can use the gem program to install/upgrade your own gems. You can reload the config file by typing touch tmp/restart.txt in your base directory.

Re: [Radiant] Dreamhost says Passenger ignores ENV
I ran into the same problem when trying out the RedCloth4 extension. It seemed like Rails grabbed the RedCloth-gem that Dreamhost provides instead of the version that I installed in my local directory. However, earlier on I did get Radiant working, using the Radiant gem that I had installed in my local gems directory. I don't know if that worked cause Dreamhost doesn't provide any Radiant-gem or why... cheers, Simon On Nov 26, 2008, at 16:43 , Anton J Aylward wrote: I've been trying to get Jason Garber's RedClot4 extension to work on my Dreamhost account.
