Hello, I am just getting started with instantrails and RoR in general. I just joined this list and don''t see any archive, so if my questions are redundant, please forgive. Also, I am a unix guy forced to do this on my PC. Anyway, I got the demo''s working and want to create my app. I click the "Create new rails app" and get the console. I assume this is the same as on OSX/*NIX and I type "rails myapp" which creates the framework. I cd into myapp and try to generate the controller, but I am unable. I look in .\script and see a generate script, but I is not a .bat. Looking into the script itself, it seems like all the paths use / instead of \. Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone have a quick start guide to creating a new app in instantrails or with RoR in windows? Thanks for your help
The generate script is a ruby program. So you need to type: ruby script/generate <parameters> Ruby kindly allows you to use "/" or "\" as path separators (at least on Windows), so feel free to use either one. There is an ML archive, but the RubyForge link to it is not obvious (plus the archive UI is pretty lousy): http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/instantrails-users/ Curt PS Welcome to Instant Rails!

Hi Robert, I just got started a couple of weeks ago myself. I was able to work my way through the "Rolling with Ruby on Rails" tutorials using Instant Rails but had some frustrations mostly because 1) the tutorial was written for Rails, not Instant Rails, and 2) Rails has changed since Curt wrote the tutorial. Your timing might just be perfect. I''ve just finished updating Curt''s tutorial (with his blessings) for Release 1.0 of Instant Rails running on Win2K SP4. I was just about to make a final pass through it but if you''d be interested in beta testing it, please say so and I''ll email it to you. Same offer goes out to anyone else who''d be willing to help. I''m going to put it on the Instant Rails wiki as soon as it''s been checked out by some fresh eyes.

Hi Bill, Thanks for the response. I am running win2k and I would be interested in going through the tutorial. Trust me, if I don''t run into any issues, then nobody will. ;) Regards, Bob Tortajada Bill Walton wrote:>Hi Robert, > >I just got started a couple of weeks ago myself.

That would be awsome, Ryan. Thank you. I just finished the update to the tutorial and it''s not ''packaged'' yet. I''ll be sending you six more emails. The first will have four .html files. The rest will have the screen shots that the .html files need. I don''t think the .html files care where they live as long as there''s a directory underneath them named ''images'' that contains all the .gif files. Please let me know if you run into any problems or have _any_ suggestions re: how to make the tutorial easier to get through. And just for the record, if there''s anyone else out there willing to give it workout, please let me know.
