I have developed a forum in Ruby on Rails based on a mySQL 4.1 server  
database.  
What I need to do is install this application on other PC. I was  
wondering if there is a neat and tidy way of doing this.

Currently I have to install Ruby on Rails, and mySQL on the target PC,  
then copy and paste the ruby on rails forum files along with the mysql  
database. This however doesn’t seem to work. An exception is throw which  
basically shows that there are problems in interacting with the copied  
database.

I would be grateful for any advice on creating installation projects or  
my problem with interacting with the database.

Thanks David
