Hi, I''m one of the maintainers of the windows distribution of PostgreSQL and am currently working on an application stack management tool to complement the PostgreSQL installer and allow our users to quickly and easily setup their application environment. The project includes the development of the stack builder tool, a setup toolkit, and what we hope will become a wide range of applications for users to choose from. The first of these applications, developed alongside the setup toolkit is a windows installer packaged distribution of Ruby, preinstalled with Rails (with the rails command defaulting to PostgreSQL support) and the postgres-pr interface. If anyone would like to give the current beta version a try, we''d love to hear any feedback you might have. The project website can be found at: http://pgfoundry.org/projects/stackbuilder/ with downloads at: http://pgfoundry.org/frs/?group_id=1000256 Regards, Dave. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi Dave, I made mention of your ruby/rails/postgreSQL distribution not but a few hours ago! I am current working on windows XP (development server) using Apache 2.2 and postgreSQL 8.1 (with SSL). I noticed in your documentation that the install process checks for an exitance of postgreSQL. I take it that your distribution is inclusive of the latest postgreSQL option 8.2.x? Could you please confirm whether my current version will be updated to the latest version during the installation process or will it simply ignore installation of postgreSQL altogether bu yet yet setup the necessary configuration files in ruby/rails? -- Regards Andrew On 28/02/07, Dave Page <pgsnake-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > Hi, > > I''m one of the maintainers of the windows distribution of PostgreSQL > and am currently working on an application stack management tool to > complement the PostgreSQL installer and allow our users to quickly and > easily setup their application environment.

Hi, I''ve managed to answer all point from my former question. I have installed your binary distribution on Win XP SP2 and have a folder sitting in my root directory as so: c:>pgRails I have placed C:\pgRails\bin in my system path and when I do: c:>rails projectname I get the following error message: ruby: No such file or directory -- rails (LoadError) What is the issue here? -- Regards Andrew On 28/02/07, Andrew Madu <andrewmadu-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Hi Dave, > I made mention of your ruby/rails/postgreSQL distribution not but a few > hours ago! > > I am current working on windows XP (development server) using Apache 2.2and postgreSQL > 8.1 (with SSL).

What will eventually happen is that following a regular install of PostgreSQL on Windows, the stack builder wizard will run and allow the user to select additional packages to install to complement their shiny new PostgreSQL installation. The wizard works out the interdependencies, then downloads and runs the installer for each package selected. Where possible we aim to use existing official packages, but when not, we''ll use our setup kit to build our own package. Of course, you will also be able to run the wizard at a later time which is why it will look to see what versions of PostgreSQL/EnterpriseDB you have already. The Rails package is built with our setup kit, and as downloaded manually from pgFoundry can be used as a completely standalone installer, even running alongside the Ruby one-click installation if required (though you may have to tweak your PATH). As a standalone package it doesn''t care if you have PostgreSQL installed or not, and will still happily work with any other DBMS, though you might need to use the non-defaulted version of rails.cmd (shipped as rails-orig.cmd).

Dave, InstantRails is a nice, all-inclusive installer. It''d be great to have a version that installs its constellation plus PostgreSQL all pre-configured. (Or your version could omit MySQL, etc.) I would love to be able to run Rails with PostgreSQL out of the box instead of MySQL.

We''ve gone to great lengths to make the PostgreSQL installer stand up to those values, *and* to be easy to integrate with other installers to allow packagers to bundle PostgreSQL with their products. In this case though, please remember that I''m first and foremost a PostgreSQL guy, so my aim is to make it easy for people like yourself to use PostgreSQL and add the tools and applications you want to your PostgreSQL environment (in this case, Ruby on Rails of course). Consequently I have little interest in working the other way round myself, *although*, if anyone were serious about building an installer for their project that included PostgreSQL, I would be more than happy to provide any assistance needed to help them achieve that using our existing PostgreSQL installer.

Personally the next, next, next finish installers are good for some things bud if you install a bundle of different applications that have a security issues and need more attention from the user. This wizard like installers should consist off all needed applications and a good intuitive path of installation procedure. In that way the all applications could be installed and configured properly and users can profit from it. I am very for this PostgreSqlRailsAllInOne installer and it is a fabulous tool to have. Go for it in a clever way. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
