    Feisty Rails Sandbox with Lighttpd?

    Anyone else setting up Ruby on Rails on a Feisty box? I'm looking to set up rails with lighttpd this weekend, and I'm wondering if anyone else's in the same boat and wants to share notes.

    I've tried in the past on Edgy with this howto ("Install Ruby Rails on Ubuntu Edgy Eft"), but never really got the lighttpd.conf file quite right. There's also stuff on the wiki.

    Anything I should know that is different from Edgy? Any tips?

    I am also looking for a howto for ruby on rails on feisty. I tried using the tutorial at
    http://ariejan.net/2006/12/03/instal...u-dapper-edgy/

    that only lead to a host of errors i describe here .

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=417757

    The same application used to work perfectly fine before the upgrade to feisty. I am thinking of going back to edgy in case this problem is not resolved .

    When i used the tutorial . Fiesty could not find the following packages.

    libmysqlclient14
    libmysqlclient14-dev

    I got rails running on Festy x86-64 with Postgres

    gem seems to be broken (at least for me) and I install everything using synaptic.

    I've had RoR working fine with Feisty but not with lighttpd.

    I always do
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install rubygems rails
    then
    Code:
    sudo gem update
    and it works fine. MySQL client gets installed when you install MySQL.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install ruby ri rdoc rubygems
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install lighttpd mysql-server
    Code:
    sudo gem install rails --include-dependencies
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install libmysql-ruby
    Then enable a few lighttpd modules, like mod_proxy, mod_rewrite, mod_fasgcgi, etc. There is a command-line utility to do so. Then edit your /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf file to setup a proxy for your web app. Easy.
    aum.
