Ruby on Rails<\/a> is a database-driven website framework designed to be easy for programmers to maintain. <\/p>\n

To set it up, you will need a hosting package with:-<\/p>\n

– SSH access
\n– 3 MySQL databases (for a standard test, production, live configuration)<\/p>\n

The ideal way to install Rails is using our “setup_rails.sh” script, which will correctly configure Rails for MySQL and our web servers. <\/p>\n

Once you have logged in to SSH, to install Rails at http:\/\/www.yoursite.com\/somedirectory you’d do: <\/p>\n

[yoursite.com@web224 ~]$ \/usr\/local\/bin\/setup_rails.sh somedirectory
\n[yoursite.com@web224 ~]$ ln -sf `pwd`\/somedirectory\/public public_html\/somedirectory
\n[yoursite.com@web224 ~]$ <\/p>\n

You now need to configure Rails to access your MySQL databases. For this you will need to set up 3 databases (by default) using the Web Hosting Plus Control Panel. Note down the names of these, for example you could choose web224-rubyprod, web224-rubytest, web224-rubylive. <\/p>\n

Edit the file somedirectory\/config\/database.yml (NOTE: not database.yaml, as the script will erroneously instruct) and update the database, username and password settings appropriately. <\/p>\n

You can now visit http:\/\/www.yoursite.com\/somedirectory to see the welcome page and confirm the installation has succeeded. <\/p>\n

If you want to go on to create a sample page, try: <\/p>\n

[yoursite.com@web224 ~]$ cd somedirectory
\n[yoursite.com@web224 somedirectory]$ script\/generate controller welcome
\n exists app\/controllers\/
\n exists app\/helpers\/
\n create app\/views\/welcome
\n exists test\/functional\/
\n create app\/controllers\/welcome_controller.rb
\n create test\/functional\/welcome_controller_test.rb
\n create app\/helpers\/welcome_helper.rb
\n[yoursite.com@web224 somedirectory]$ echo ‘Hello<\/b>, World! 1 + 2 = <%= 1+2 %>‘ > app\/views\/welcome\/index.rhtml
\n[yoursite.com@web224 somedirectory]$ <\/p>\n

You would then be able to view this at http:\/\/www.yoursite.com\/somedirectory\/welcome . For more information, please see the Ruby on Rails<\/a> web site. <\/p>\n

If you want to have your entire site run through Rails (and you’re certain), then rename your public_html directory, and follow the same procedure above except that instead of “ln -sf `pwd`\/somedirectory\/public public_html\/somedirectory” you should write “ln -sf `pwd`\/somedirectory\/public public_html”. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
