What's not working? What's your setup (unicorn/passenger/mongrel/ something else) ?

To save yourself tons of potential future grief, try setting up a VM on your Windows machine that is based on the same Linux OS as your deployment target OS.

Then it becomes easy-peasy, otherwise you're caught trying to make sure that the gems you have been using under Windows behave the same under your Linux OS. Generally (very generally) not an issue.

Ar is correct - Virtual Box http://www.virtualbox.org/ is one such path and is free for personal use.

You might checkout Capistrano - http://www.capify.org/index.php/Tutorials

And depending on what you're deploying you might be interested in Heroku - http://heroku.com/

Right (unless you're using a VM, of course).

Do Now I need to install Ruby on rails on my virtual machine..

14

Probably; if it's not in there by default. Or you could use a full-stack that's already prepared for you. There was an email the other day about a Rails VM that was ready-to-use:

http://capslog-informatique.fr/site_virtualrails/

Haven't used it myself though...

Hi, I'm the Project Manager of VirtualRails :slight_smile:

you don't have to setup Ruby on Rails on VirtualRails, It's already done.

In fact, the VirtualRails virtual machine is already fully configured to develop and/or deploy Ruby on Rails applications on an ubuntu basis.

You don't have to follow the instructions of Panther Software, the job is already done :wink: All you want to use is already there up and running : Ruby, Rails, Netbeans, MySQL, and so on...

All you have to do is to run VirtualRails and get your source code into it, with subversion or git for exemple, or even by pasting it from your windows hard drive.

Let me know how I can help you :slight_smile:

You're welcome did you tried the last 1.1 version ? It comes with a better US keyboard layout support.

On the other side, like on any Ubuntu system, you can easyly configure the keyboard layout that fit your laptops'hardware : In VirtualRails, cick on the bottom menu and go to "menu -> preferences -> keyboard" There you can adjust your keyboard settings :slight_smile:

hope it will help !

Buddy, you did the great job,

Yes I tried all possible key board support in Ubuntu. It did not work, I also did not try 1.1.

I will download it and try it on my machines will let you know about my that experience too.

Thanks,
