Rails - Mar 2006 - Windows Deployment on Unix

Hi!

 

Can anyone give me some pointers on how to deploy a Rails application
developed under Windows with RadRails at a Unix Host (Textdrive).

I?ve heard of switch tower, but have never used it. Does it have a routine
to convert my Windows Carriage Returns/Line Feeds to Unix style? Is there
something else I should know?

Also, if somebody can point me to a good tutorial on setting up Rails to run
under Textdrive, it would be great!

 

Thanx again!

Alessandro

If you''re using subversion, you should be setting eol in there. You  
are using version control, no?

The top line in public/dispatch.cgi, public/dispatch.fcgi and public/ 
dispatch.rb will probably point to c:/ruby/bin/ruby in your files.  
You need to change those when deploying to the right location for  
ruby on that machine.

Ok, I''m going to thoroughly embarass myself...
I am not using version control just yet, having only just started the 
tutorials, but for the real deal I''ll be using subclipse (subversion in
eclipse).  How exactly is it that subversion (and hopefully subclipse) 
helps with the transition from Windows to *inx?  I''m going to do some 
diging in subversion docs as well so no need for details on configuring 
subversion / subclipse.

Thanks,
joe

No need to embarass yourself.  Everyone has to start somewhere, right ?

What the original poster meant is that in Subversion, there is a
property you can set on files that tell Subversion how to handle
carriage returns and line feeds.

What you want to set is svn:eol-style, and it is documented here:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.props.html#svn.advanced.props.special.eol-style

Once you know how Subversion work, you might be interested in an
article I wrote a few days ago:
http://blog.teksol.info/articles/2006/03/09/subversion-primer-for-rails-projects

Thinking back, I see I haven''t even mentionned svn:eol-style in the
article.  Means it''s time for a rewrite :)

Hope that helps !
