Not sure what you mean by "parsed files". Ruby is interpreted.... if you mean the files that are _generated_ by the command lines scripts in Ruby (or the RadRails GUI or what have you), then they're right there in your app directory. Running Ruby in a server environment requires cgi, fastcgi, scgi or the like. If you're comfortable with XAMPP, then you might want to look at InstantRails -- it's based on the XAMPP distro (and even includes PHP4 and MySQL) and gives you, well, and Instant Rails environment that does not interact with the rest of your system.

No problem, but it's *far* easier when you're learning to use the webbrick server (Ruby server) instead of dealing with fastcgi/etc (*especially* on Windows). If you're on Windows, InstantRails is your fastest path while Locomotive gets you running quickly on OSX. -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:238233 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
