Hi,

http://www.kuwata-lab.com/tenjin/rbtenjin-users-guide.html#intro

looks nice. Does someone know how to set it up with Apache?
(Both are already installed and work on my linux box here)

Looks like a cross between erb (google it) and PHP (ugh). Have you seen
Markaby / RedCloth etc? There are many nicer and more ruby-esque tools
out
there.

This is how I did it, I am not an Apache guru so please correct me
anybody if this is a bad way to do it:

For Ubuntu 7.10 and assuming you already have mod_ruby and ruby gems
installed:

  1. Install tenjin

gem install tenjin

  1. Make make a file named ruby.conf under /etc/apache2/conf.d

Add the following into ruby.conf

AddType text/html .rbx

RubyRequire apache/ruby-run

<Files *.rbx>
Options ExecCGI
SetHandler ruby-object
RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance

----------------------------------------
  1. Go into /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/apache/ruby-run.rb

Add the following under where it says ‘require “singleton”’

require “singleton”
require “rubygems”
require “tenjin”

  1. Test it out:

Go to your Apache Document Root where you serve your files.
Create a file named main.rbx and enter the following:

engine = Tenjin::Engine.new()

context = {:title=>‘Hello World’}
filename = ‘file.rbhtml’
output = engine.render(filename, context)
puts output

Create a template named file.rbhtml and include the following

#{@title}

------------------------------------------------

Goto your browser and type in: YOURDOMAIN/main.rbx

Your browser should then display “Hello World”.

I forgot to mention, you will need to have write permissions on the
directory where your template (e.g. file.rbhtml) is placed in. This is
because tenjin creates a .cache version of your .rbhtml in the same
directory, thus if you do not have write permissions, it will not work.
