similar to: Packaging Rails App as Standalone EXE

Hi All First of all - I would like to say Mongrel is fantastic! We are developing a hybrid solution incorporating a central server and local servers (which allows offline working) - with Webrick we 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

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

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 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. --

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

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?

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

Hey all, im not sure where to set a default value if a textfield is empty? For now i do it in the controller, and check if the submitted parameter is blank. But this seems not to be the best solution... Thanks for your help! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Ok, a refinement of the question I asked yesterday (If there were any replies from yesterday I don''t have access to them here .. sorry if I''m duplicating anybody''s words here). How can one host multiple domains with mongrel? Assuming you are mass vhosting and you also want the performance benefits of using mongrel ... As far as I can tell, one could set up a

Apologizes in advance if this sounds rather dense, but I want to make sure I''m understanding everything correctly. We''re in the process of migrating from Apache2.0/FastCGI to Apache2.0+mongrel (why not 2.2? that story is too long and too uninteresting to recount here, but I will tell you that it involves RHEL and only using RHN rpms). The init script that comes with mongrel

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

Why are there more web design users using PHP instead of using Rails? Is there an advantage using PHP over Rails? Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have been hacking around with this for a bit but want to see if there is an easy way: I am using Heroku and I have the wkhtmltopdf static binary in: rails_root/vendor/wkhtmltopdf I am not using any plug ins for wkhtmltopdf, just the executable, on purpose and want to keep it this way. My code wants to execute wkhtmltopdf: # tell wkhtmltopdf to convert html file to pdf

A search of this forum for "cloud" brought up a pretty anemic and mostly year or more old list of stuff. That was a bit of a surprise to me. I''m interested in getting opinions on the easiest way to deploy a Rails app to a well known (S3 or similar) "cloud" server. It should be something with little or no "installation" or "establishment" fees and

I am working on a Rails app, for deployment I usually checkout the code from git repository to the production servers which are running apache with mod-rails. But checking out the complete code, I am also checking out the spec and tests folder, I would like to avoid having test/specs code on my production servers. Is there a set way of packaging rails application for deployment ? I am using
