Installing Ruby on Rails

Hi,

I'm a newbie to RoR and have been facing some problem installing RoR on my system.

I'm following this guide to install RoR

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RubyOnRails

and stuck up at this step

Installing Rubygems:

To make gem work properly you should write gem's path to PATH add to ~/.bashrc:

export PATH=/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin:$PATH

Can anyone help me saying where do I find the file with extension .bashrc,and run this step succesfully...

Is there any standard guide that can help me install RoR on my system.

Thanks.

It's not an "extension" that's it's name. The file lives in your home folder.

From a terminal prompt:

  vi ~/.bashrc

or if you prefer gui:

  gedit ~/.bashrc

Thanks for the quick reply. I've one more question for you...

Apache + Mongrel

You have to start Mongrel Cluster (under www-data ?).

sudo mongrel_rails start -d -p 8000 -e production -P /full/path/to/log/mongrel-1.pid

Where do I find the mongrel-1.pid log file in general cases...I'm sorry for asking such questions as it's far beyond my knowledge atleast for now...

Thanks
