Hello, Ruby on Rails still, as I think, very poor with MS Windows. I make the comparison as a PHP user. In some minutes, I have got Apache running PHP easily. In Ruby On Rails, there is no such breeze. I expect in the future, Ruby on Rails is going to offer something like php4apache.dll to make life easier. As I think, There are three things made PHP popular: 1st, The ease of installation 2nd, The complete, detailed and perfect organized documentation 3rd, The variety of free tutorials and resources Conclusion, Ruby on Rails disappointed me. Best Regards, -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

It makes setup an absolute breeze on Windows and you can be up and running in just a few minutes. If you look through this forum, you will even see that one of the ruby users has taken the time to make a video on how to do it. Sorry you are disappointed. Perhaps a quick glance at InstantRails will change your opinion. Regards, Michael -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
You setting up a web server app or a local install for dev ? If just development then get InstantRails. You can find it on rubyforge.com Aside from that I remember struggling a bit early back with PHP and Apache. Rails will work.

I hope find InstantRails works with MySQL 4 that I already have. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
It will install a copy of mySQL 4.x (I don''t remember the exact version). You''ll have to do a little reconfigure if you want to use your own copy.

I''ve used InstantRails on several Windows platforms, with and without an existing MySQL installation. It was easiest for me to change the port on the existing MySQL, leaving InstantRails to run on the default port: 3306. If you don''t, when InstantRails starts up, you will get a message saying that it''s MySQL server didn''t start because of a port conflict. You can configure your rails app to talk to your existing MySQL, the one with InstantRails, or both. Give it a try. -Larry On 7/21/06, Dark Ambient <sambient@gmail.com> wrote:> > It will install a copy of mySQL 4.x (I don''t remember the exact > version).
