Hi,
I am Sheru & am completely new for this web framework. I am really
really enthusiastic to know the Ruby on Rails & possibly try to use
this framework near future.
But at the start up, I don’t have idea on installing RoR on Windows
XP.
What is the sequential intalling components of RoR?
How easily could I get the RoR website hosting server?

Not hard, if you’re deploying to a Unix server. If you install Apache
and Phusion Passenger (an Apache module for deploying Rails app) then
it’s pretty much upload-and-go. The process is described in the
Phusion Passenger users guide.
Deploying to a Windows server a bit harder and generally not
recommended. Developing on Windows is fine.
Hi Robert,
Thank you for your response. As I am searching good php framework, so
went to ruby on rails hoping this could be one option.
But still I am new for this. Hope, I will be rightly directed.
I use windows on my pc, what should be installed to run the ruby on
rails on windows pc for development purpose? and for linux too?
Hi Suzima,
I would like to install the Linux using the vmware or other…, you
wrote Ubuntu running on Sun xVM VirtualBox. What is this mean?
Could you explain more…?

Hi,
I have installed ruby186-27_rc2 on windows xp for the developement.
Now I have questions:
How do I know now the ruby installed successfully
Open a command window and at the prompt type:
ruby -v
and hit Enter/Return. If ruby installed correctly, that command should
output the version(-v) that was installed.
& where do I write
coding?
You write your code in a text file and then you name the file with a .rb
extension, for example:
myfirstprogram.rb
To make ruby execute your program, you open a command window and cd
(change directory) to the directory that contains your program. Then at
the prompt you type:
ruby myfirstprogram.rb
Does package install rubygems automatically or need to do manually?
You can check that by opening up a command window and typing:
It may be a bit late for you now, but I would suggest installing
InstantRails, which is trivial to do and gives you a complete self
contained
working environment.
It does not include the latest version of rails yet so after installing
and
checking that it is working ok open a Ruby Console Window (click on the
I
next to the Apache button, select Rails Applications, Open ruby console
window) and update rubygems by
gem update --system
and update rails by
gem install rails
