Instantrails users - Dec 2005 - installing typo: something got easier.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I am at a loss for words;  I spent a lot of time figuring out the right hacks to
do this a couple of weeks ago.  Now, it appears that no hacks are needed.

I downloaded a fresh InstantRails preview 5, and a fresh typo 2.6.0

Here''s my virtualhost entry:

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName typo
    # handle all requests through SCGI
    SCGIMount /scgi-bin/ 127.0.0.1:9999
    DocumentRoot C:/INSTAN~2/rails_apps/typo-2.6.0/public
    <Directory C:/INSTAN~2/rails_apps/typo-2.6.0/public>
        Options +FollowSymLinks
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>
    AddDefaultCharset utf-8
    ErrorDocument 500 /500.html
    ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
</VirtualHost>

I rewrote one line in the .htaccess:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /scgi-bin/%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]

I installed the database schemas, set my hosts file...


And it all works perfectly.  No adding a plugin.  No editing routes.  Caching
works perfectly.  There appears to be no problem to fix.  Why did we spend so
much time fixing things with that plugin that Trevor wrote... when I
can''t even
duplicate it now.  Did it get installed into preview 5 somehow?

Suddenly, I remember someone saying that this was only an apache2 problem.
Which explains a little bit, but I don''t know why we had any problems
with
Instant Rails.  Curt, did you ever slip apache2 in any of the releases?

No, its still Apache 1.3.33. After taking a poll of Instant Rails users,
I''m
going to stick with 1.3.33 for the 1.0 release of Instant
Rails.hecross-platform
2.0 version of Instant Rails will move to Apache 2.0.

Hmmm... I hate mysteries like this. You really want to know the answer, but
the effort required to figure it out is to high.

Since it appears to be much easier than we previously thought, maybe I can
find some time this weekend to get Typo in as a sample app and do a new
release of Instant Rails.

For those who are wondering, the final release of Instant Rails 1.0 will
come after the final release Rails 1.0 *and* after the final release of Ruby
1.8.4 (actually, after the release of the one-click installer for 1.8.4).
