I''ve developed a Rails application that I''d like to make generally available, but I''m not sure how to go about this, or even what tools are most appropriate. Is this something that the Rails framework provides, or is it a job for Rake? for Rubygems? for Tar2rubyscript or Rubyscript2exe? A pointer to a "Distributing your Rails Application" would be ideal. --

...were suffering from 500 (and other errors) that the switch to Mongrel has fixed. Since we are providing the local server as a download application we wanted to find a way to package up the code and ruby modules that were being used. Erik Veenstra packaging application (http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/distributingrubyapplications/rails.html) provides a mechanism to generate a minimal size download with everything needed to run the ruby application. We had to overcome a couple of issues to get the package working with Mongrel and thought it good to share that info (and check that we haven''t done something st...

Hi, Does anyone know what is currently the proper way to distribute a Rails app as a windows exe (NT Service, how to package, ...). I know there was http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/distributingrubyapplications/rails.html, but it''s pretty old.

Hi folks, I''m a newbie in the Ruby land, The Ruby language and RoR looks really great but I think in my situation there is a problem, we are an ISV that sells web application and we don''t want our clients see our source code, I searched the web but couldn''t find any way to compile and\or obfuscate ruby code (in web (RoR)), is there such tool available for the language?

Hello all! Can anyone throw me light to create EXE for my ruby on rails application. I need to deploy my application at the client''s place and i dont feel like exposing the source code. Thanks.. regards.. surjya.hazarika@genieinteractive.com -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve just created a rails application for a friend''s business. I''m going to place the application onto one of his computers so he can access it from within his network. What can i do to make sure he cannot read/edit the code? I can''t see what i can do. Its on a windows xp machine and he has full admin rights. He''s not an expert PC user so the solution

Hi, I want to make an open source rails project as easy as possible to install. Can I use Instant Rails for this? I treid to look at the FAQ but could not see this was possible. Ideally I would like to have Instant Rails install Ruby, Rails, MySql, etc and then have it add my application and add the mysql user (could be just root also) and then the sql for creating the tables. Sound like fun

I''m trying to deploy a ruby on rails application. It uses sqlite3 for a database. What I would like to do is distribute it as a windows executable. It should be in such a way that the user can click on the application and everything will load and a full screen browser window will appear. This way the user will know nothing about it being a browser and need no ruby components installed

We have managed to package our rails application into an exe using the steps given at: http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/distributingrubyapplications/rails.html When we start the exe, it starts on port 3000. But when we will be installing it at the clients'' site, this may not work as some other rails application may be running on that port. What can we do to configure the port on which the application is supposed to run? Th...

Hope this question doesn''t sound too strange. This is a typical synchronization scenario, and I''ve done this a lot with .Net "rich clients", but I''m fairly new to web programming and to rails. I''m developing browser-based applications that will sometimes have to be disconnected from the internet. One example is a browser-based app for conference

Has anyone come across any interesting ways to make rails apps easily distributable to run on a local machine. I''d love to be able to "bundle" my rails app into a single file that would contain a simple webserver, database and my rails app which a non-experienced user could then download install on their machine, go to a web browser and run the app locally. I envision it

Hello Doug, I am not disputing anything you say and in fact, spring-rich is "okay" as far as swing development goes. But rails principles adheres to those which we hold near and dear such as "don''t repeat yourself" (note: spring-rich model, glazed lists model, jgoodies models) and "convention over configuration (note: xml config files). Let''s get away
