Ruby on Rails
RailsOnCentos

If you are getting the error “Could not find rails (> 0) in any repository” try this and fire up the “install”-Command again:
gem update gem install rails --include-dependencies

You will need to set your own directory for the webroot to live in and run rails someapp to generate the application directories specified in the configuration file. Of course, you should tune this to match your settings (as well as the virtual host settings for Apache.)

Note

Don’t forget to do

chkconfig lighttpd on
service lighttpd start
service httpd restart

Problems?

Often problems are due to a misconfiguration of Apache or lighttpd. Lighttpd will look like it started okay even if there is a problem, which can lead to some confusion. Running service lighttpd status will help you to determine if things are okay there. If you get a message like: lighttpd dead but subsys locked Something is wrong. Check very carefully that all of the paths are correct (and that they exist) in the configuration file.
