Hi There,

I have installed rails on my linux server. I want to write little apps  
or use stuff that is out there to improve our business flow. I have  
played a bit with php and can do some basic stuff on it. I bought the  
Agile web …book and Ruby on Rails by Steve Holzner and have done  
some basic on my windows pc. But, I am having a problem getting the  
code to run on my linux server. I get this error when I run a app with  
webrix or simply apache: -

Not Found

The requested URL /rails/store/public/rails/info/properties was not  
found on this server.

My Rails directory is under /var/www//rails but as you can see it  
throws in a /rails/info/properties option which, as it says, does not  
exist.

Can anyone help me work out the problem please? Maybe I should remove  
php?

I would really really appreciate it

Gig

What linux, and what version?  
What version of Ruby, Rails, etc, etc.

There are possibly a bazillion answers out there for a question similar  
to yours, but you need to provide more information in order to qualify  
those answers.

If you’re running Ubuntu, there a lot of help for Rails on Ubuntu on the  
Ubuntu boards. Other linux versions, I can’t answer as I don’t use any  
other linux.

For starting out and just exploring I would not bother with Apache.  
Just use webrick and put your application somewhere in your normal  
login directory and run it from there. When you have the app developed  
and are thinking about deploying it for further use you can think about  
other server options. Personally I have installed mongrel and usually  
use that for a server in development. This is on Ubuntu Hardy.
