Look Matt, I would like to help you but it's 1:10am and I got to get some sleep. ;) It sounds to me that you never dealt with Ruby or Rails. If so, Lovd is the wrong space to start with. Lovd is only the core of a social network - you will soon need to change or add things. To understand the internals of lovd you have to have some Ruby and some Rails experience. That sounded like a bad message?! But don't get depressed. Learning Ruby and Rails (at the needed level so far) is pretty easy and you can do it quick. In my opinion it's best to start with the rails guides ( http://guides.rubyonrails.org/) - especially the first one ;)
For Ruby and for Rails you need at least to install Ruby and then the rails gems (library or "packages that "make up" rails). I don't know you OS, but if it's Linux go to the package management and search for ruby and a package ruby-gems (or alike). Sometimes you can see some ruby gems in the installer, but i would install them manually later. Install also Mysql and Sqlite (a "simple" database with almost no configuration). You have to do that as the root or super user. (don't lose the password ;) ) Setting up the MySQL server is a little time consuming. I know lovd needs that and sphinx, too. [maybe in a later post] After you've done it, switch to root shell again and type "gem install rails". You will have to install the mysql and sqlite adapter for connecting to the databases. type "gem search mysql --remote" to get the proper name of the mysql gem (don't remember it right now). Do the same for sqlite. When finished try the first guide to rails [ http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html] or watch some (free) screencasts [ex. http://www.buildingwebapps.com/podcasts]to understand "who rails work". Still got problem => write ;) Going to get some sleep Chris --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lovd by Less" group.
