Talk:Ruby on Rails Installation

Does this work only on dedicated hosting plans or also on shared hosting? --Serkel 07:05, 8 Apr 2005 (PDT)

Heya. This page is still kind of "in progress" at the moment, so it might not work at all. :\ But my plan is to make it work with shared hosting plans. I'm hoping to soon catch one of my friends who knows a lot more about this stuff than I do, to help me troubleshoot the .htaccess stuff a bit. Figured I'd throw the instructions up here in the meantime in case anyone else had any bright suggestions. ;) snarkles

Right, I just tried it in two dirrerent ways: following the instructions closely, everything seems to be working but in the end the test fails. For some strane reason, however, when you type the script commands by hand and execute them one by one, everything works and Ruby is installed correctly. Odd, but I'll fool around with it a little more and let you know if I find something. --Serkel 07:05, 8 Apr 2005 (PDT)

I've edited the suexec chmod note into the instructions. The installation worked for me, although i did not use this script. As I have time, I'll update the script to include the MySQL module installation, which is necessary to use Rails. --Ryan

Currently ROR is installed on my server but I'm getting "Permission Denied" when I try to install it - [herod]$ rails ror-lab.workingidea.com exists create app/apis Permission denied - ror-lab.workingidea.com/app --Workingidea 15:10, 20 Jun 2005 (PDT)

My Changes To The Script
Script didn't work for me, for some reason curl didn't download the RubyGems. In the end, I just substituted all instances of "curl -O" with "wget", and then gems installed fine.
