I was going to suggest that, Thanks for clarifying this to new members.

I believe that using the latest version users need to add " rails new applicationtitle"

Re: HOWTO: Set up Ruby on Rails in Windows

Do I in fact have to use Mac OS X as a replacement for? Or is it possible to use Instant Rails to set up my production server on Windows?

Re: HOWTO: Set up Ruby on Rails in Windows

I got ruby on rails to work in windows 7 (feb 2011) as follows:

1. Download ruby and install.
2. Download the ruby gems ZIP folder and place somewhere easy to get to.
3. Go to DOS (cmd.exe), navigate to your Ruby directory and type the following:
ruby C:\LOCATION OF RUBYGEMS FOLDER\setup.rb
3.5 specify your ruby directory via this step-by-step guide http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm
4. run this:
gem install.rails --include-dependencies (NB when you firewall shouts at you, let rails access the web).
4.5 if the above does not work (Rub187) try this: gem install rails --include-dependencies
5. gem install mysql
6.  rails new projectname -d mysql
7. follow instructions here to make sure you use 'mysql' NOT 'mysql2' (http://www.seanmccambridge.com/articles … windows-7/)
7.5 you may need to your database.yml file (within config directory of your project) to specify mysql NOT mysql2 too.
8. rails server
9. navigate here to see ruby on rails http://localhost:3000/

PS I've been editing this post to add other useful bits from the previous messages smile

Here's a quick Howto on setting up Ruby on Rails for Windows.

1. Go to RubyForge and download the latest version of the Ruby one-click Installer for Windows. Install it by running the setup program. I recommend installing it to c:\ruby
2. Download and install RubyGems.
3. When Ruby and RubyGems have both been set up, run this in a terminal/command prompt window to install Ruby on Rails and all its dependencies:

gem install rails --include-dependencies

4. Create a folder to hold your rails Apps. I use c:\rails.
5. Create a test application by issuing this command in a terminal/command prompt:
rails testApp

6. You should then see a folder called testApp in c:\rails. Go into the testApp folder in a terminal/command prompt and type this:
ruby script/server

7. Open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/.
8. Congratulations, you're on Rails!


If this all seems like too much for you, you can also use InstantRails, which has Ruby, Rails, Apache, and MySQL all in one package.

Re: HOWTO: Set up Ruby on Rails in Windows

Hi, Im very new to this kind of thing I was just wondering If i could get some help on setting this up.

I am on step 6. In command prompt when I type "C:\testApp>ruby script/server" in testApp I get this message:

No such file or directory -- script/server <LoadError>

I made the folder rails and managed to get testapp to appear in it and I also directed command prompt to C:\testApp

I am running windows 7 if it helps to know

Thanks

Re: HOWTO: Set up Ruby on Rails in Windows

It's just "rails server" not "rails script/server"

Here's a nice guide to using the rails command: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/command_line.html
