Hi, I have a host that supports ruby, but does not have rails set up (like TextDrive). Anyway, I was wondering if it is possible to install rails/active_record/action_pack in the base directory, and make it work? I won''t be able to add anything to usr/local, but if I put everything in an accessable place, it should work, right? If someone has done this, please let me know the steps you took. I just paid for a year of hosting, otherwise, I would use text drive in a second! Berndt
I''ve done this on pair Networks. I followed the instructions here (more or less): http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/RailsOnPairNetworks I''m sure it''s a similar process for your host. The only major difference is that I didn''t use $HOME as my prefix, but used $HOME/ruby-1.8.2 instead. This means you need to either symlink to $HOME/bin or do the appropriate pathing elsewhere. Cheers, bs.

Simply untar in a directory. Symlink wherever you host expects files to be located at to the public directory and start developing in the app directory. Doing it this way means each app has it''s own rails but it isn''t too big so that probably isn''t an issue. Am I missing something?
