Ruby on Rails MySql Help

I am trying to work through installing Ruby on rails on my Mac with help from a developer mate and some apple articles. However I want to check something before I go any further. I am running PHP 5 and MySQL 4.13 on my OS x, The MySQL that I currently have is from the MySQL site and not apple optimised.
what is the best way to upgrade to Apple optimised MySQL 5? Do I remove my current MySQL version completely ( i don't have any important info in there currently) or do I look for an upgrade option?
Can anyone help me with the shell commands for updating or removing the MySQL?

okay, that helped. Here's what I get:

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?
thanks in advance

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 but it has been withdrawn by its author.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

I tried to follow the Ruby on Rails example post by Apple but it simply didn't work. I got the server started but the SQL migration didn't work. Has anybody made this work or been able to get through the "tutorial?"

Thanks. It is hard to describe exactly what doesn't work, but I will try. I get to the point in the tutorial where the server is up and running, I get Textmate running, but I keep having trouble with MySQL. I have installed MySQL 5.0.5 but at one point I got a screen that said I was using SQLite3. I think that came with some Apple package. I don't know how to "look at that particular section of the config/database.yml file." Nor how to modify it per the tutorial. "mysqladmin" commands generate an error message saying they can't be found. It seems that I have environmental issues. Of course, the "golden path installation guide," Locomotive, has been removed from circulation. So, I think that the tutorial assumes things will be done for you by installing Locomotive and that can't happen. I can't even get to the sample application.
Does this help in analyzing my problem?

Setting up ruby on rails

Hi!
I wanna start learning Ruby on Rails, but I'm confused with setting it up on arch...
Can some1 help?

Hi Mr. X,
follow these steps: (as root)
1) install rubygems:
pacman -S rubygems
2) install rails:
gem install rails
3) install sqlite3 and ruby-slite3:
pacman -S sqlite3 ruby-sqlite3
(if you prefer you can install mysql)
4) install mongrel (it's faster than webrick)
gem install mongrel
Now you have the complete Rails stack.
Enjoy

Arch is currently not ideal as a Ruby on Rails server

Hi all. This is my first post. I hope I am posting in the right place. I have just started using Arch, and I love it! I have used many server distros in the past, have real experience in production environments, and I'd love to use Arch for any servers I need in the future.
There's a problem, though. Best as I can tell, the only version of Ruby available on Arch right now is version 1.9.1. While that's the latest stable, for certain reasons it is not the recommended version on which to run the popular web framework, Ruby on Rails, which I make my living developing in. You can see that for yourself here:
http://rubyonrails.org/download - "We recommend Ruby 1.8.7 for use with Rails."
I'm sure this isn't the first time there have been popular versions of software despite there being later releases. People are often slow to adapt in production environments. However, I couldn't even find a ruby18 package, or anything like that.
I'm not requesting years-old stability or anything absurd like that. In general, I like having the newest software. But in practice, it's sometimes prudent to prefer the next-to-newest software.
In addition, the ruby package installs "rubygems", a separate package management system for Ruby analogous to CPAN in Perl. The problem is, it installs an old version of rubygems, 1.3.1, which is so old it doesn't work. The latest stable version of this is 1.3.7, and version 1.3.2 is required for Rails. I was able to upgrade it using the special rubygems updater ("gem update --system") but I worry this will conflict with pacman, and it shouldn't be necessary.
In short: please upgrade rubygems, and please provide a 1.8 version of the ruby package.
All of the packages I'm discussing were based on the present pacman versions as of this post. Thanks for your help and for the great distro!

tomk wrote:heatdeath - you're not getting the point. If there is something you want from Arch that is not available in the official packages, you become part of the community and do it yourself. It may end up being just for you, or others may also find it useful and help you out, but either way you get what you want, and Arch gets the "community support which it does not have". There have been numerous examples of this over the years.
I understand your point, but using the AUR dramatically diminishes the ease of use from the whole setup. I have to manually download the PKGBUILD and any patch files, build it, install it, and then manually keep track of updates, manually delete the installed files (there is no uninstall) and then repeat the process. While it's great that the AUR is there for specialized interests, it seems that things from the AUR should be incorporated into the official packages if they have enough support. My problem is mainly in the selection of "official packages", and the deference to the AUR anything that doesn't meet the strict and dare I say impractical requirements for inclusion therein. There needs to be more respect for widely-used earlier branches, and there needs to be respect for upstream packaging problems such as the rubygems one. And I am here, in the community, voicing my opinion on this issue, but I cannot change the official packages or the philosophy by sheer force of individual will. It's going to require that people consider what I have to say, and consider what Arch should be.
Ruby 1.8, as with many other major releases, continued in its development and had point releases even after Ruby 1.9 came out. Despite being official, these releases are not available via pacman. It remains the dominant form of Ruby in use today, and probably will be for another year or so.
Consider the release of MySQL 5.0. Would you expect everyone to switch from 4.1 immediately to 5.0 once they released their first stable? Or shouldn't it be possible to stay on the prior major version branch and make the conscious decision to switch? At some point, the keyword "mysql" should switch to the newer branch, and the old one should be maintained as mysql4.1 for legacy support for a while; but this should be a while in, after the tide has turned in its favor. I'm certain something like this is already the policy for the Linux kernel, for instance. I'm just asking it also be applied to Ruby.
Instead, I'm relegated as a minority interest to the AUR ghetto. I think Rails and its philosophy has a lot in common with Arch Linux, and I've heard other Rails people speaking of it favorably. They are both focused on ease of use. They could be compatriots, and Arch could benefit from the friendship. Both communities are often interested in using brand new software, when appropriate. Rails is ruthless with its deprecation. But the community for Arch Linux needs to decide whether it can be useful as a young, innovative new server distro for practical use, or whether it's beleaguered by the philosophy that "true" "critical" server distros use "stable" archaic software and sacrifice maintainability, bug fixes, new features, and simple pleasure in the process, and therefore Arch has no place amongst their anachronistic pantheon, doomed to dwell underground forever with Gentoo and the other thoughtful playthings.
I was surprised to find myself being criticized for suggesting I would use Arch as a production server. I think it has the chops, it just needs to commit to the purpose. Don't be defeatist, there are a wide variety of possible production scenarios, many which use fresh new software; let server admins make the decision whether or not Arch is capable of the job.
As for variations on upstream releases (such as fixing this rubygems version problem), I think the best solution is that pacman should have something that allows automatic building, installing, upgrading and uninstalling of community packages -- maybe even binary variants -- so that users can have the ease of use, but also realize they are using something that differs from the official upstream releases. A convention to install in /opt or /usr/local/ would further the mental divide and diminish the risk.
Please understand my criticism comes with respect, and a desire to use Arch. I ache every time I check the replies, knowing I've likely offended people. I apologize for the length of this post. The truth is, if I can't use Arch as a production server, I don't see any point to it. I am an outsider looking in, sharing my thoughts, and I don't expect they will be received warmly, but it would be great if they were. However, so far the impression I get from this thread is that Arch has no interest in being a production server, sees it as a sideline, implausible interest in conflict with its theory.

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.

Ruby on Rails with Oracle Database

I am starting a new project that needs to produce dynamic charts and data reports on the web. I am a Java programmer and new to databases. 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
B) Find out how to configure Locomotive (the Ruby GUI I'm using) to connect to the Oracle database.
Thanks for any help!

[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
PassengerDefaultRuby /opt/ruby1.9/bin/ruby
ServerName arch-server
DocumentRoot /usr/share/webapps
<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/

Redmine now works via passenger.

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.
