Hi, We have a new dedicated server currently running CentOS, PHP, Apache and MySQL. We''d like to install Ruby, Rails and Lighttpd (or Mongrel) on it without breaking Apache and PHP. We have an experienced sysadmin but he has never worked with Ruby / Rails before. Are there any good tutorials out there on how to go about installing Ruby, Rails, Lighty on CentOS? Also, any tips from group members who did this in the past would be of great help! Thanks so much.

Don''t run RoR next to PHP ;) I''ve actually had some bad experiences doing this in hybrid environments. Mongrel can eat a lot of juice. I''ve only done this with Apache and Mongrel, not lighty and Mongrel, but you should know that on CentOS there are some peculiarities related to the installation of the MySQL adapter and libraries from the Gem Repository. What version of CentOS 5 are you installing with? I can''t help you with a tutorial, but I can give you tips on this based on my experience, because I''ve been doing this a lot since CentOS 3 (I''ve done RoR installs on every distro 3-5) Dan On May 23, 2007, at 3:35 PM, gabordemeter wrote:> > Hi, > > We have a new dedicated server currently running CentOS, PHP, Apache > and MySQL.

I am running rails 1.1.6 on CentOS 4 with apache & fcgid in production but plan on upgrading system to CentOS 5 when I take my development (working on FC-6 with apache 2.2.x & mongrel) into production. -- Craig White <craig-CnJ8jr4MGtxl57MIdRCFDg@public.gmane.org> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Take a look at http://www.railshostinginfo.com/blog . It describes an installation of Rails on CentOS4.

Mongrel can eat a lot of juice.I don''t have any problem to run these two environments together - I even have 2 olds projects for which I converted the backoffice to RoR while leaving the front web site in PHP I must confess I used the easiest configuration (at least for me) : apache + fcgi -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Scroll down to the Ruby, fastcgi, and MySQL part. It''s pretty much the same for all Linux''s 1) Install Ruby(and supporting libs) via your distro''s preferred method, in your case rpm. 2) Install ruby gems by downloading, un-tarring, run setup.rb. 3) Install Rails via gems. The trick is, when installing ruby, to make sure you get the supporting ruby libs. These seem to be packaged differently in every distro. With a fast connection I can get Rails installed on Linux in 10 or so minutes. It took a little longer the first time.

Even though it''s at 0.0.1 now, it installs on CentOS 4, and is built for people like your sysadmin. -- Alexey Verkhovsky --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
