This morning I finished the new and improved version of my installation guide for Apache, MySQL, PHP, PHPMyAdmin and Ruby On Rails. I’ve put it online here (PDF). I hope it will be of some help to you. It’s based on a Windows environment and for now it’s available in Dutch. I will try to translate it to English soon. Keep checking my blog for updates. And feel free to leave a comment if you discovered an error in the guide or have a suggestion.

Apache On Rails, Ruby Riding The Feather

With a little help of Simon Paul from my class I got Ruby On Rails working as a module within my Apache setup. Finally RoR starts automatically and I’m no longer having to fight with the WEBrick server. With 2 little files, a Microsoft C++ installer and 1 line of code in the httpd.conf file, it works! The files and installation doc can be downloaded from here.

RoR vs. Java!?

I found an interesting article on Tweakers.net about RoR threatening Java. During the Ruby on Rails Camp, visitors all agreed about the fact that Java has got a serious challenger in RoR. RoR shows a lot of advantages when it comes to the development of Web-applications, but also has some disadvantages. Read the entire article here (it’s in Dutch!): tweakers.net article

booting WEBrick…

Yesterday I installed Ruby On Rails (ROR). On our CMDwiki someone said we should install InstantRails, which has an Apache Webserver and MySQL DB support embedded. But as I already have Apache, MySQL and PHP running on my pc and laptop, I decided to install it according to the tutorial video’s about ROR I downloaded. After installing this successfully, I had my first encounter with Ruby today during a lesson on this subject. I am amazed to see that after only typing 3 lines (or so…), I already had a working GUI on screen. I’m very eager to continue learning Ruby On Rails. Meanwhile I found a nice article on the internet about Web 2.0. It can be found here: Article (note: the article is in Dutch…) I’m currently helping my fellow group members with the installation of AMP. Back to that! Ciao…
