Ruby on Rails environment

I have tried the Apple tutorial and Adam Blackbourne's book and website and still cannot get a functional environment started so that I can develop using Ruby on Rails. I get Ruby installed, Textmate installed, and then seem to get bogged down with Textmate and sql. I seem not to have mysql properly installed but I can't figure out what's wrong. Both these sources above refer to some great package call Locomotive that is "the golden path..." but it has been withdrawn by its author. Any ideas on how to proceed? What sources are available?

Hi,
I'm not sure what your stated problem is here? It seems you are describing problems with Ruby on Rails on Leopard and coincidentally with mysql based on the Apple tutorial; are these one problem or two? Please note that the tutorial is describing running mysql on server which is part of the 10.5 server package.
I have been running Rails 2.0.2 on Leopard client which I loaded following the tutorial (once I loaded Xcode 3 on the client as well). Since Rails 2.0 comes with sqlite3 as its default database, you can be up and running on 10.5 client in short order and save your mysql for deployment. In my case I also have 10.5 Server and have been testing with Rails and reverse proxies while operating in development mode (with sqlite3). When I start porting over to Server, mysql is a service on server and has a unique configuration. So the tutorial may not be applicable if you are using it with a mysql standard type install. You can read about the server install environment of mysql at
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.5/en/c6ws25.html
Actually, Ruby on Rails 2.0.2, TextMate and Ruby-Debug form a great environment for development. Not quite an IDE on 10.5 but almost there.
Hope this helps,
Harry

Ruby on rails in archlinux bootstrap instalation

I have 6 servers that were migrated from CentOS to Archlinux. They run apache with ruby on rails. The installations were done via bootstrap with one exception. In all they had to have them installed via bootstrap error "invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII ". I created a debug to see what is happening because the whole application runs on UTF-8. I noticed that the servers installed with bootstrap changed the environment variables, these changes occurred with the application running.

[SOLVED]Ruby on Rails won't run with apache/passenger

Hi I want to run Redmine, a Ruby on Rails application, on a personal server using MariaDB as the database and Apache with the Phusion Passenger module as the application platform. So far I am able to run Redmine with the default WeBrick server, but if I try to run it via Apache (http://192.168.1.5/redmine) I just get the directory index of /usr/share/webapps/redmine. I've been running various php webapps using this apache installation without issues but my unfamiliarity with Ruby on Rails makes me unsure how to fix this. If I create a Ruby on Rails test application as described at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ru … figuration I get the same issue.
Using the arch wiki articles on Ruby on Rails and Redmine, This is basically how I installed things:
$ yaourt -S ruby1.9 rubygems1.9 nodejs redmine
# gem-1.9 install rails
# gem-1.9 install passenger
/opt/ruby-1-9/ and subfolders ended up having no read/exexute permissions for 'other', probably because of my umask settings, so I changed the permissions, also because apache runs as user/group 'apache'.
Ran the script that installs the passenger apache module:
# /opt/ruby1.9/bin/passenger-install-apache2-module
added to httpd.conf:
LoadModule passenger_module /opt/ruby1.9/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-4.0.5/libout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /opt/ruby1.9/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-4.0.5

<Directory "/usr/share/webapps">
# This relaxes Apache security settings.
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
# MultiViews must be turned off.
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
I checked if the passenger module is loaded, and judging from /var/log/httpd/error_log that seems the case:
[ 2013-07-03 22:52:22.8947 28902/b7407700 agents/Watchdog/Main.cpp:440 ]: Options: { 'analytics_log_user' => 'nobody', 'default_group' => 'nobody', 'default_python' => 'python', 'default_ruby' => '/opt/ruby1.9/bin/ruby', 'default_user' => 'nobody', 'log_level' => '0', 'max_instances_per_app' => '0', 'max_pool_size' => '6', 'passenger_root' => '/opt/ruby1.9/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-4.0.5', 'pool_idle_time' => '300', 'temp_dir' => '/tmp', 'union_station_gateway_address' => 'gateway.unionstationapp.com', 'union_station_gateway_port' => '443', 'user_switching' => 'true', 'web_server_pid' => '28901', 'web_server_type' => 'apache', 'web_server_worker_gid' => '1001', 'web_server_worker_uid' => '1006' }

'apachectl configtest' gives 'Syntax OK'.
I followed the wiki on redmine (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Redmine), chose to use "bundle install" to install the required gems with only a 'production' environment. What worried me is that those gems are now in /root/.gems while the webserver runs as user 'apache'.
I can run Redmine at 192.168.1.5:3000 without errors using:
# ruby script/rails server webrick -e production
But if I kill it and try via apache http://192.168.1.5/redmine I get a directory content listing.

Thanks markocz, my use of sub-url was indeed the problem. With help from the linked article I did the following:
# mkdir /usr/share/webapps/phusion-passenger/
# ln -s /usr/share/webapps/redmine/public /usr/share/webapps/phusion-passenger/redmine
# chown -R root:http /usr/share/webapps/
# chmod -R g+rx /usr/share/webapps/
httpd.conf now looks like this:
LoadModule passenger_module /opt/ruby1.9/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-4.0.5/libout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /opt/ruby1.9/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-4.0.5
PassengerDefaultRuby /opt/ruby1.9/bin/ruby
ServerName arch-server
DocumentRoot /usr/share/webapps/phusion-passenger
<Directory "/usr/share/webapps/phusion-passenger">
# This relaxes Apache security settings.
AllowOverride all

# MultiViews must be turned off.
Options +FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
RailsBaseURI /redmine
<Directory "/usr/share/webapps/phusion-passenger/redmine">
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
Redmine now works via passenger.

Ruby on Rails FUBAR after gem update? Aptana and NetBeans no work now!!

After doing an gem update --system it seems that the whole out-of-box Ruby and Ruby on Rails experience in Leopard goes way south.
I first had issues just trying to run the rails command:
<pre>
Adenthir:Workspace nicholas$ rails dummy
/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems.rb:304:in `reportactivateerror': Could not find RubyGem rails (> 0) (Gem::LoadError)
from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems.rb:238:in `activate'
from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems.rb:76:in `activegem_withoptions'
from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems.rb:50:in `gem'
from /usr/bin/rails:15
</pre>
I found that the directory path(s) of the gem repositories which were:
<pre>
\["/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8" , "/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8"]
</pre>
had become simply:
<pre>
\["/Library/Ruby/Gems"]
</pre>
So I added GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH to my .profile, and this works for when I'm in the shell.
However when I run Aptana or Netbeans it complains about the environment and not being able to find the rails 1.2.3 gem. It seems that not all was yet fixed by adding the paths to my .profile to help clear up the confusion about the missing gem repositories.
How do you get it so that applications that are not run from the shell eg. Aptana or NetBeans can see the same path as I'm getting in the shell? (My assumption is that the reason they error is because they don't use the .profile shell settings.) I'm not quite sure how to set environment variables for the Mac OS itself (other than the shell sessions). And I am not going to take "just run your apps using shell commands to start them" as an answer!
All my rails/ruby stuff was working flawlessly in 10.4 ...sigh.
Help!

Okay - I think I have the path situation sorted out. In order to get applications like NetBeans or Aptana to recognize the gem repositories after doing a gem update --system command you need to create a file ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist (it isn't there by default so you'll need to make one).
I used the plist editor tool that comes with XCode's installation, but I imagine any text editor will be sufficient. You will want to add the following to restore your paths for RubyGem:
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>GEM_HOME</key>
<string>/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8</string>
<key>GEM_PATH</key>
<string>/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/gem s/1.8</string>
</dict>
</plist>
</pre>
That seems to of fixed the confusion that NetBeans was having for me as to where to find the gem for rails. Everything (so far) seem to be back to normal.
Just a word of caution - if you're going to do a gem update be ready for some downtime as you fix your environment paths.

Solaris 10, Ruby on Rails, Core Dumps

I am not very savvy with Solaris administration and we are having issues with configuring our system to run Ruby on Rails applications. We opted to use the Coolstack framework for our environment, thankfully without many hiccups. That said, our applications load but core dump during the second page load.
At this point, I'm not sure if it's our recent switch to Coolstack that is causing the problem. We've also worked to get a Mongrel cluster up and running, so that could also be the culprit.
What I'm looking for really is advice on how to pin down what the error is. I've learned about pstack to deal with the core dump file, but I'd have a better time understanding Chinese than that output. I also read about gdb and dbx, neither of which appear to be installed on our system. A strings on the file, another recommendation I found, spits out a bunch of gibberish.
How can I move forward in discovering the problem?

I'm having the exact same problem with my Solaris server. I can't seem to get any form of Rails running on the system, and pages generated by Rails crash after a few page loads (not always the same number).
Did you have any luck tracking down the issue? I've asked around in a number of places and come up empty-handed every time.

Ruby on Rails Concurrent program registration in EBS 11i

hi everyone
I'm trying to see if it is possible to register a Ruby on Rails concurrent program in Oracle E-business Suite 11i applications. We have Ruby on the Rail program we are using to create a GL Daily Rates file into one of our Custom top directory. Our intention is to create a request set that includes this Ruby on Rails program and SQL*Loader program that loads the data into staging table before data is uploaded to the GL_Daily_Rates_Interface.
I have seen that the execution method for Ruby on Rails does not exist in 11i and have tried to use perl but without success.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Launching Edge code thru terminal for Ruby on Rails

hello
i am studying ruby on rails programming. i just started and I am new to alot things about it.
The tutorials im watching say to use sublime text or some other one. if it makes sense i would like to use edge code because i come from a design background and i trust adobe have the best features by the end of the game.
so in the tutorials they used this command to conect the terminal work we've been studying to sublime text
ln -s /Aplplications/Sublime\ Text\ 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl usr/local/bin/subl
and allowed him the edit his .bash_profile in sublime text simply by typing
subl .bash_profile
Im curious to see if there is an equivalent to this for edge code. or am i trying to use the wrong app for ruby on rails?

There is not a way to open a file via the command line with Edge Code (or
Brackets) yet, but you can at least right click on a file and do Open With.
In terms of 'does it make sense to write Ruby code with Edge Code', I can't
answer that. I use Brackets for all my front end code, and Node.js stuff on
the back, but not for any ColdFusion work I do. Best I can suggest is just
to try it out and let us know how it works.

Any Extension for Ruby On Rails on DW

Hello,
I am planning to quit PHP and start developing in Ruby on
Rails. Their MVC model is really great and plus MS has also
appreciated this model and getting this implemented in new Orcas
Model ( New Asp.net 3.5 version ).
Ruby really beats every one since its totally OOP and plus it
offers more powerful features than PHP5 and Easily fights with
asp.net in power.
Ruby on Rails is the future. I need to practice this on DW8
can any one prpvide me a working Extension for Ruby.
Thanks

Ruby doesn't even come close to the .NET framework. That is
just wishful thinking.

New wiki page on Ruby on Rails

Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that I created a Ruby on Rails page on the

As always, please feel free to comment and edit the wiki.

Hi,
It is a really nice idea. Maybe the page ought to serve as a hub for other articles.
A couple of comments on sharing medias:
* I have not been very happy with upnp. I used it for a while when I had a Synology NAS, but the fact that it seemed to rely on some kind of index made it less attractive. Samba has treated me nice; it always works (as oppose to "real" Windows shares which is a drag to setup). I use samba for sharing videos and pictures to XMBC4Xbox.
* For streaming live audio output, i.e. what is playing *right now* on my laptop to my stero, I have found a combo of icecast, pulseaudio and gstream to work nice. For serving static audio files I use squeezeboxserver. Had I used a Sonos sound system I would have used Samba again.
* For PS3, which is a somewhat limited device, there is a nice java application that takes care of everything.
* What I really miss is some way to preserve metatags when downloading video podcasts. To me it does not matter much at the moment as xbmc does not support local rss feeds. . .
I could add some comments on some of the above if you think it fits into your article.

Help with Ruby on Rails and mysql - I just don't get the terminal...

Let me just start by saying I'm pretty new to using the terminal and unix commands. I've been trying to teach myself how to use Ruby on Rails (ror) over the pasy couple of days and have had some luck but I'm struggling with the terminal.
For instance, when starting a new ror project I need to use the terminal to creat a new database schema (I think this the right terminology) within mysql. The tutorials I'm using suggest that I use the terminal to create the database with a command like:
mysqladmin -u root -p create expenses_development
no matter how I try I cannot seem to find the way to make this work. I contunue to switch directories in the terminal, but am not getting anywhere. Can someone shed some light on where I could be going wrong?

How do I live preview a Ruby on Rails/Ember application?

I have a Ruby on Rails application and I am under the impression that Edge Code will work with locally hosted web servers to use live preview. I have set up the project settings to use the locally hosted address: http://localhost:3000/ ... However when I use Live Preview I receive the following error.
"Open an HTML file or make sure there is an index.html file in your project in order to launch live preview."
I have done so and I meet the criteria but it doesn't seem to work. Does Adobe Edge Code support this feature?

What's the file extension of the page you want to view in Live Preview? You may need to add it to the internal (not yet easily configurable) list of file extensions.

I have heard good things about Ruby on Rails but cannot get it to work with Mac OS X and our Oracle database. I've read many, many forum posts about the lack of an Intel Client from Oracle, but would really like to know how if its possible to
A) Get Ruby on Rails to read from an Oracle database AND

Ruby on Rails on OSX Server

Has any one built or have instructions for installing Ruby on Rails on OSX Server 10.4?
Do these instructions still apply:
http://hivelogic.com/narrative/articles/ruby-rails-mongrel-mysql-osx
And can it play alongside Apache if you use Mongrel as the web server?

I have been trying for the last couple of weeks to get Ruby on Rails running on OSX Server as well. I followed the instructions on the site you refer to. The whole installation proceeds just fine, I can run my RoR sites locally by running scripts/server, but when trying to access the web site I get a 403 error and the log says "Directory index forbidden by rule".
I have followed directions from other sites regarding: installing and activating the fastcgi module, setting access rights to various folders and files, modifying the httpd.conf file to allow overwrite all and access to indexes,... No progress. I still can't get the RoR site to work.
