I use MySQL for testing the trunk (for dev, production and test modes) and also MySQL on TextDrive for my own personal installation (more or less 1.043). > I'm finding that tracks runs the best for me under the latest version of > locomotive with the january rails bundles, but is that a good environment to > develop and test (ie does it provide different versions of rails than tracks > really ships with?) Someone emailed me yesterday about Locomotive, and I hadn't tried it in a while, so I gave it a go. It worked fine for me with both SQLite3 and MySQL, but only after I'd added a line to the config/locomotive.yml file. I found when I first launched it that I was getting an error that the server wasn't running. After a quick Google, adding the line: server: lighttpd to the end of locomotive.yml did the trick. One thing I'm not sure about is whether Locomotive behaves in the same way as a standard Rails installation, in that if you have Rails installed in /vendor (as is the case with Tracks) it uses that over the local installation. If so (and I suspect that this is the case), then using Locomotive should be exactly the same as using a more traditional installation. By the way, it struck me that for Mac users who aren't au fait with the command line and just want to use Tracks on their own machine, we could package up a zip package with all the configuration already done, pointing to a ready-made SQLite3 db. Then all they'd have to do would be to download Locomotive, point it at their Tracks folder, and they'd be away. What do people think? Obviously, I'd also provide the usual package for those installing on a server, on Windows or Linux or whatever. cheers, bsag -- but she's a girl - the weblog of a female geek http://www.rousette.org.uk [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Tracks-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rousette.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/tracks-discuss
