Colin, You had referred me to this link: For installing in ubuntu then http://blog.sudobits.com/2012/05/02/how-to-install-ruby-on-rails-in-ubuntu-12-04-lts/ is pretty good.. >>> I thought it would be a good idea to learn this in a linux environment. My apps on the web will be in Linux. I setup a virtualbox for Windows and installed Ubuntu Server 12.04. This part I did separately as I was learning Linux for web development. I got all the way down to starting the WEBrick server, with everything looking good and it said that it is running on port 3000. And I should be able to browse to http://localhost:3000 and I get “Unable to Connect” I tried http://localhost:3000, http://0.0.0.0:3000 also http://sandbox.dev:3000
which was shown in the terminal window. Since, I currently only have the server and not the gui for Linux Ubuntu, I thought I should be able to see this from my host operating system, Windows. Also, when I installed phpmyadmin, the instructor said that we should be able to get there using http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/ If I leave off the phpmyadmin, the page that comes up shows that the server is running and I get a message that just says “It works” – a bit of code to show that things are working. The instructor has us install this in the folder /etc/phpadmin but when we installed Symfony, we were supposed to use folder /media/sf_sandbox/ I tried to get to that folder and was told I didn’t have permission. I couldn’t use sudo cd as that just said that cd is not recognized. So, I obviously have rvm, ruby and gems installed but nothing beyond that is working in the way of getting a ruby on rails test app running. Thanks in advance for any help, Bruce Colin 27 August 2012 at 9:26 PM, Dheeraj Kumar wrote: @Colin: Railsready can be used for any environment. The only thing it installs that is not usually used for a development environment is Passenger. Railsready is great because it simplifies the task of installing dependencies. I've done it manually, and this is so much more fun :) Dheeraj Kumar On Monday 27 August 2012 at 9:12 PM, Colin Law wrote: On 27 August 2012 16:17, Dheeraj Kumar <a.dheeraj.ku...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Bruce, I can understand the problems you're going through, as I've faced them myself. They stem from some misconceptions about the language & the framework. Getting started with rails is probably the easiest thing to do out of all the language stacks available. If you're using OSX or Linux, use https://github.com/joshfng/railsready on a fresh install of your OS, and you're set. I have not met that one, it seems as if it may be more geared towards a production server than development. I believe most would not use passenger, nginx or apache on development machines. This one looks like a reasonable alternative tutorial for installing http://blog.sudobits.com/2012/05/02/how-to-install-ruby-on-rails-in-ubuntu-12-04-lts/ Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
