I have had som success with ROR and of course some problem. I have managed to install Ruby on Rails partially. I can issue the command rails myTestApp but the command doesn’t create all the necessary files. For example I miss dispatch.fcgi and .httaccess. I installed Ruby 1.8.7, by compiling the source. I have installed the RubyGem version 1.3.5 from the Ruby on Rails website I have also installed the following gems abstract (1.0.0) actionmailer (2.3.5) actionpack (2.3.5) activerecord (2.3.5) activeresource (2.3.5) activesupport (2.3.5) addressable (2.1.1) crack (0.1.4) data\_objects (0.10.1) diff-lcs (1.1.2) dm-core (0.10.2) dm-migrations (0.10.2) erubis (2.6.5) extlib (0.9.14) fcgi (0.8.8) haml (2.2.17) hashie (0.1.5) highline (1.5.1) httparty (0.5.0, 0.4.5) json\_pure (1.2.0) mailfactory (1.4.0) merb-action-args (1.0.15) merb-assets (1.0.15) merb-auth (1.0.15) merb-auth-core (1.0.15) merb-auth-more (1.0.15) merb-auth-slice-password (1.0.15) merb-cache (1.0.15) merb-core (1.0.15) merb-exceptions (1.0.15) merb-gen (1.0.15) merb-haml (1.0.15) merb-helpers (1.0.15) merb-mailer (1.0.15) merb-param-protection (1.0.15) merb-slices (1.0.15) merb\_datamapper (1.0.15) mime-types (1.16) mysql (2.8.1) oauth (0.3.6) ParseTree (3.0.4) rack (1.1.0, 1.0.1) rails (2.3.5) rake (0.8.7) RedCloth (4.2.2) rspec (1.3.0) ruby-hmac (0.3.2) ruby2ruby (1.2.4) ruby\_parser (2.0.4) RubyInline (3.8.4) sexp\_processor (3.0.3) templater (1.0.0) thor (0.9.9) twitter (0.8.1, 0.8.0) twittery (0.0.4) ZenTest (4.2.1) What do I miss to make rails create a project with all necessary files? ---
