Hey yall OS: Windows7 Browser: Firefox8.0 I am new to RoR and finally got it installed (I think). I used railsInstaller: http://railsinstaller.org/ and downloaded ''vim''. I was unable to install RoR manually the first time since I stumbled across a slight error ''lib'' file missing so I used the railsInstaller and got it going. I tested it on http://localhost:3000/ and its displaying fine. I terminated the page using ''Ctrl + C'' and refresh the localhost page and it was not displaying. So far so good. My question is: 1. How do I create an web app to a specific URL? 2. Where is the database suppose go to or link to? 3. I open up vim but not sure what to do here? I would kindly appreciate anyone''s help. Thanks in advance CHEERS :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I open up vim but not sure what to do here?Start by working through some rails tutorials. railstutorial.org is good and is free to use online. Also work through the Rails Guides, starting with ''Getting Started'' obviously. With regard to using vim as the editor, any text editor will suffice so just use whichever one you already use for development. Unless you are absolutely stuck with using windows then I suggest using this as an excuse to try out a linux distribution such as Ubuntu. Most of those developing rails apps use linux or Mac and it is generally more straightforward. I can almost guarantee that you would not regret the time spent learning Ubuntu, it is great to feel back in control of the PC again.

I don''t know anything about Ubuntu but I''m reading it now and its like another OS for linux. I will read the reviews and make my decision from there.

Thanks Fred. I installed ROR on Heroku with no issues.> The server will need rails, ruby etc. installed. With some providersyou have to do that yourself, others will take care of that for you. Most rails apps do indeed use a database although you don''t have to. Mysql and postgresql are 2 commonly used ones. Ok, if I install RoR on my web/hosting server using this domain name e.g. test.abc.com.au, how does the CMD connects to it? I sort of know how to use MySql but that''s from creating a database through Cpanel, etc. Thanks On Nov 12, 2:26 am, Frederick Cheung <frederick.che...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> On Nov 12, 4:34 am, buckmajor <buck.ma...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > - By deploying to a server do you mean I have to upload railsInstaller > > to the server do the process again? > > The server will need rails, ruby etc. installed.
