ruby on rails with Dream Host

最近KAKA在DH上搭建了一个Django的测试环境，感觉Python还是很强大，不过似乎做有些小而快速的WEB应用就不那么实在。今天在 Dream Host 上测试 Ruby on Rails，非常成功，安装非常简单，只要在DH的控制面板中把你Domain的FastCGI支持打开就可以了，我使用的是子目录的形式建立Ruby on Rails应用的。

不过在自己的windows上搭建开发环境的时候遇到了一点问题，在启动了服务之后出现
Application error (Rails)
的错误，后来google了一下，原来是服务的启动方式不对，必须使用
ruby script/server
才能正常工作 ;)

关于在windows上搭建 Ruby on Rails 的开发环境完全可以使用这个软件包。

Installing Ruby on Rails with mod_fcgi for Apache 2

After a few hours of trial and error using advice from many different sites/posts, this is the process that I found successful in getting Ruby on Rails working with the Apache 2 fcgi module on linux. I hope this helps someone hang onto a few more hair follicles.

Before we begin, I can say that this was only successful when I did the setup in this order. Perhaps others have done it in a different way, but this worked for me. BTW, I using Redhat Enterprise 4.

First, we'll install ruby.
curl -O ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.4.tar.gz
tar xvfz ruby-1.8.4.tar.gz
cd ruby-1.8.4
./configure --codefix=/usr/local
make
make install
cd ..
Just to make sure everything installed properly try this:
ruby --version
It should return something like this:
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i686-linux]

Now let's install ruby gems.
curl -O http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/5207/rubygems-0.8.11.tgz
tar xvfz rubygems-0.8.11.tgz
cd rubygems-0.8.11
ruby setup.rb
cd ..

Now we need to install the FastCGI development kit.
curl -O http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/fcgi-2.4.0.tar.gz
tar xvfz fcgi-2.4.0.tar.gz
cd fcgi-2.4.0
./configure --codefix=/usr/local
make
make install
cd ..
Allrighty then. We're moving now.
