I'm used to working in php, where I have my .php files and all I have to do is put them in a www directory served by apache, or upload them to a php host.
Now I'm trying ruby and RoR and first I discover they don't use apache, then that there are 3 servers, webrick mongrel an lighthttpd, which I can't really understand.
Second, it's full of command lines, what for? I got no cl in php...
and gems too... well I think I get it here, they're extensions, "nicely" installed... (I don't see the point in installing anyway, shouldn't a require do the trick?)
I love ruby syntax, but prefere php for the reasons I told, probably just because I can't understand them.. anyway is it possible to work in ruby as I would in php? Using apache and that's it?
I've been trying the camping framework since rails was getting to big and powerful for my little app, but I can't get its stupid server to run. I'd like to simply copy a folder in a www directory and query the index.rb file....
I'm talking to much, sorry... bye!
