Although the instructions I followed eventually got me
to a working version of Ruby 1.8.4, etc, I suspect that
I''ll be better off following AM''s advice than in trying
to start from the Instiki Beta (which appears not to be
compatible with the current version of Rails).
So, I installed an svn client and downloaded the head:
svn co http://svn.instiki.org/instiki/trunk instiki
per AV''s instructions on
http://instiki.org/show/Subversion
This appears to include a copy of Rails, so that issue
may be out of the way. Getting brave, I tried to run it:
% instiki
./vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb:424:in `read'':
No such file or directory - ./config/database.yml (Errno::ENOENT)
...
OK, ./config/database.yml is missing. Look at the README,
which tells me to:
3. Kill "instiki"
>> It''s not running.
4. Install SQLite 3 database engine from http://www.sqlite.org/
5. Install SQLite 3 driver for Ruby from
http://sqlite-ruby.rubyforge.org/
6. Install Rake from http://rake.rubyforge.org/
>> I already have these.
7. Execute rm -f db/*.db
>> No such files in this tree.
8. Execute ''rake migrate''
% rake migrate
(in /Local/_Private/Homes/rdm/pkgs/zip/instiki_head/instiki)
rake aborted!
No such file or directory -
./config/database.yml
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
So, I appear to really need a config/database.yml file and
there doesn''t seem to be a sample on hand. This sounds like
the place where I ask AM to make good on his unwary promise.
