Thanks Fred. I installed ROR on Heroku with no issues.

Most rails apps do indeed use a database although you don't have to. Mysql and postgresql are 2 commonly used ones. Ok, if I install RoR on my web/hosting server using this domain name e.g. test.abc.com.au, how does the CMD connects to it? I sort of know how to use MySql but that's from creating a database through Cpanel, etc. Thanks On Nov 12, 2:26 am, Frederick Cheung <frederick.che...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Nov 12, 4:34 am, buckmajor <buck.ma...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > - By deploying to a server do you mean I have to upload railsInstaller > > to the server do the process again? > > The server will need rails, ruby etc. installed.
