Ruby on Rails
HowToInstallOnGrokThisNet

First, note that GrokThis.net is happy to setup rails for clients, so the following instructions are only necessary for the “DIY” (do it yourself) crowd.

We recommend that you enable FastCGI?:

ln -s ~/etc/apache2/mods-available/fast-cgi.load   \
     /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/

Execute the following commands to configure Rails such that it appears at the address http://www.example.com/webapp/

cd ~/


    
	
  1. Install rails
    
rails railsData
    2. 
	
  2. Put the files out to the public
    
ln -s ~/railsData/public      \
    
     ~/public_html/example.com/webapp
    3. 
	
  3. The following will enable FastCGI?
    
cp -a ~/etc/apache2/snippets/rails.htaccess   \
    
     ~/public_html/example.com/webapp/.htaccess
    
rm -rf ~/public_html/example.com/webapp/dispatch.cgi
    
rm -rf ~/public_html/example.com/webapp/dispatch.rb

Finally, edit ~/railsData/conf/database.yml as needed.

As always, please contact support if you need any assistance — they will happily install and setup rails for you, or answer any installation questions you may have.
