Hi,

I’m trying to install RForum on my Mac running OS X Tiger.

On this Mac I have PostgreSQL 8.1  
and  
Edge Rails 4724

I used svn to get rforum 925

Then, I edited database.yml and created a corresponding database.

Then, I created site.rb from default\_site.rb

Then, I tried…

rake db:migrate

I saw this:

/myrforum 11 $  
/myrforum 11 $  
/myrforum 11 $  
/myrforum 11 $  
/myrforum 11 $ rake db:migrate  
(in /pt/webprops/vietenglish/rforum925)  
rake aborted!  
no such file to load – ferret  
/pt/webprops/vietenglish/rforum925/rakefile.rb:9  
(See full trace by running task with --trace)  
/myrforum 12 $  
/myrforum 12 $  
/myrforum 12 $

I did this:

gem install ferret

I saw:

…  
Successfully installed ferret-0.9.5  
Installing RDoc documentation for ferret-0.9.5…  
/myrforum 13 $

which looks good to me.

Then, I tried…

rake db:migrate

I saw this:

/myrforum 13 $  
/myrforum 13 $ rake db:migrate  
(in /pt/webprops/vietenglish/rforum925)  
rake aborted!  
Regexp anchor characters are not allowed in routing requirements:  
/^[0-9]+$/  
/pt/webprops/vietenglish/rforum925/rakefile.rb:9  
(See full trace by running task with --trace)  
/myrforum 14 $  
/myrforum 14 $  
/myrforum 14 $

Do any of you have any tips on how I can get RForum installed?

Thanks,

-Dan

ok,

What was that svn command?

ah… here:  
svn co svn://andreas-s.net/rforum/trunk/

and I see:

A trunk/public/stylesheets/main.css  
A trunk/public/stylesheets/syntax.css  
A trunk/public/favicon.ico  
U trunk  
Checked out revision 932.

mv trunk rforum932  
/bin/rm -f rforum  
ln -s rforum932 rforum

edit database.yml  
create site.rb from default\_site.rb

follow README:  
rake db:migrate  
script/server webrick

[http://localhost:3000/user/register](http://localhost:3000/user/register)

create user named fred

dig the password out of development.log

script/make\_admin fred

Use  
[http://localhost:3000/forum/new](http://localhost:3000/forum/new)

to start making forums

I’m happy

Andreas…  
Thanks for your help!
