I want to create a website similar to craigslist but I am having trouble installing ROR. I have no idea how and seek help. Do I have to upload Ruby, RubyGem, and then the Rails onto my server, then install it ? TIA

Longer answer: you should probably start by installing all of the above locally first for learning purposes. :-) Good luck. -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ hassan.schroeder-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org twitter: @hassan

I am really a noob -.-1) Go buy a Rails book, preferably a good one. 2) Read it. 3) Try again. 4) Post error messages. Quit expecting the list to babysit you. -- Greg Donald http://destiney.com/
Found this http://guides.rails.info/getting_started.html will read through it and post any questions later. Thanks!

I am really a noob -.-So you have Ruby and RubyGems installed, and you''ve done a `gem install rails`, correct? Then you should be able to type `rails projectname` and rails will build a directory with the basics for your app. But there are certainly plenty of "getting started" tutorials, screencasts, etc. around.

Go buy Head First Rails by David Griffiths. I any newbie should start with this book to get an understanding of ROR, and then download Humble Little book of ruby. This is what I started with.
