Hi,

I’m trying to package my rails application into a war file to install  
on glassfish. I’m having some trouble in OS X because when Netbeans  
tries to create the file, it gets a permission denied error. My  
thought is running it as sudo would solve the problem. The issue is I  
don’t know how to do that. Since its an .app file, I can’t seem to  
figure out how to run it as administrator.

Any thoughts? And does anybody have experience with Glassfish? I’m  
not that great at deploying apps with Capistrano, mainly because with  
ColdFusion (my background) there really aren’t many deployment  
issues. As a result, I find the deployment issues with Rails a little  
discouraging. With Glassfish, from what I’ve heard, you can simply  
transfer a war file.

Anybody tried it?

Thanks!

Ron

Got it. You have to sudo sh /Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans
