Rails - Mar 2005 - [Newbie] New to ROR

Hi,

I am Marc Koblas. I have just discovered Rails. If all
the praise about it on the blogs is any indication
then rails must be really awesome.

I have tried out some basic stuff using webrick.
before I go any further i want to make sure that my
hosting provider supports Rails.

Is there a list of instructions which I can give to my
hosting provider which he can follow to get ruby/rails
enabled on the server? I am very new to both Ruby and
Rails so i can not help him out if he gets stuck. So
it has to be a really straightforward list of
instructions.

Please pardon me if this question has already been
asked on the list.

Thanks for all your help. Hope to get actively
involved with Rails asap :)

Just ask him, as a provider I hope he will be aware to check out the
pre-requisities for a Rails installation.

Once he know what Rails is, and how it work (many ways are possibles
on a ISP point of view (cgi, fastcgi, apache mod_proxy), sure this
list will help him to choose the right way.

Ciao''

Point them to the www.rubyonrails.org site, they should be able to
figure it out themselves from the documentation tutorials. As a hosting
provider they should be the ones doing the dirty work (that''s why you
pay them to do it). ;-)

If they can''t provide you with it, there are several companies that
offer Rails hosting now. 

Cheers,
