<font size="-1"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,

rather complex procedure described in the FAQ for starting up the
database server and web server on bootup. I have been using
what
seems to me to be a simpler process. Is there any reason not to do
things as I describe in the following?<br>
<br>
create two files (start_mysql.bat and start_web.bat) and copy them to
your startup directory.<br>
The files look like this:<br>
<br>
[start_mysql.bat]<br>
PATH C:\InstantRails\mysql\bin;%PATH%<br>
mysqld<br>
<br>
[start_server.bat]<br>
CD C:\InstantRails\rails_apps\your_app<br>
PATH C:\InstantRails\ruby\bin;C:\InstantRails\mysql\bin;%PATH%<br>
ruby script\server -e production<br>
<br>
These scripts are rather simple and I do not usually do windows so it
is possible I have missed something here. Of course the path is
completely dependent on where you have installed InstantRails. Is
there anything I did not understand that will make this unsuitable for
serious use?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any input<br>
