The Ruby Way :-), Руби на рельсах

Thats it. Seeing other people (Robert was the latest victim :-) ) being attracted by Ruby made me thinking that everything is not that bad. So, while running my computations I've decided to see what that beast really is.

1. Using Yast (I have SuSe 10.2) I've installed:

  * apache2
  * apache2-devel
  * apache2-mod_fastcgi
  * ruby
  * ruby-devel
  * ruby-doc-ri
  * rubygems
  * FastCGI
  * FastCGI-devel
  * zlib

2. in shell:

  * # gem install fcgi
  * # gem install mysql
  * # install rails -y
  * # mkdir /srv/www/rails
  * # mkdir /srv/www/fcgi-log
  * # chown wwwrun /srv/www/fcgi-log

3. Do a

 # vi /etc/apache2/httpd.conf 

and add

#
# Ruby stuff
#
AddHandler fastcgi-script fcgi

<Directory /srv/www/htdocs/>
  AllowOverride All
  Options FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

<Directory /srv/www/rails/*/public/>
  Allow from all
</Directory>

I've added to

/etc/sysconfig/apache2

in APACHE_MODULES words “rewrite” and “fastcgi”.

4. I think that I am finally done by doing following:

# cd /srv/www/rails
# rails test
# chown -R wwwrun:www test/tmp
# chown -R wwwrun:www test/public
# ln -s /srv/www/rails/test/public /srv/www/htdocs/test
# cd test/public
# vi .htaccess

and adding

RailsFCGIHandler.Process! '/srv/www/fcgi-log/test_fcgi_crash.log'

to the end of .htaccess

AND FINALLY

# rcapache2 start

AND I'VE GOT AN ERROR THAT KEEP ME WORKING FOR 2 HOURS ALREADY:

zhabanet-amd:/srv/www # rcapache2 start
Module "fastcgi" is not installed, ignoring.
Check the APACHE_MODULES setting in /etc/sysconfig/apache2.

I gave up for today...
