Hi, I am Sheru & am completely new for this web framework. I am really really enthusiastic to know the Ruby on Rails & possibly try to use this framework near future.
But at the start up, I don't have idea on installing RoR on Windows XP.
1. What is the sequential intalling components of RoR? 2. How easily could I get the RoR website hosting server?
Hope that I will get response.
Thank you all. Sheru

Try: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/getting-started/installation/windows
2. How easily could I get the RoR website hosting server?
Not hard, if you're deploying to a Unix server. If you install Apache and Phusion Passenger (an Apache module for deploying Rails app) then it's pretty much upload-and-go. The process is described in the Phusion Passenger users guide.
Deploying to a Windows server a bit harder and generally not recommended. Developing on Windows is fine.
Sheru,
Forget about Win, go for Linux over a virtual machine, for example Ubuntu running on Sun xVM VirtualBox. It's way easier, faster, better!

Hi Robert, Thank you for your response. As I am searching good php framework, so went to ruby on rails hoping this could be one option. But still I am new for this. Hope, I will be rightly directed.
I use windows on my pc, what should be installed to run the ruby on rails on windows pc for development purpose? and for linux too?
Thank you. Sheru

Hi Suzima, I would like to install the Linux using the vmware or other..., you wrote Ubuntu running on Sun xVM VirtualBox. What is this mean? Could you explain more...?

Hi, I have installed ruby186-27_rc2 on windows xp for the developement.
Now I have questions:
- How do I know now the ruby installed successfully & where do I write coding?
- Does package install rubygems automatically or need to do manually?
Thank you for your suggestion Sheru

Hi Sheru ,
Install all of these in the same order :
1. Ruby (Download Ruby) 2. Install Ruby Gems from (http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126) 3. Download the gem "Rails" from rubyforge.org and install with the command "gem install rails --include-dependencies" 4. Some times this doesn't completely install the rails framework for which you will have to install the following gems in the same order.
rake
activesupport
activerecord
actionpack
actionmailer
actionwebservice
Now go to "http://localhost:3000" , it should show you the rails home page or else you have failed in your installation.
After installing successfully,u can go ahead with any ROR tutorials . Try this link Ruby on Rails Tutorial for some good tutorials.
Enjoy

It may be a bit late for you now, but I would suggest installing InstantRails, which is trivial to do and gives you a complete self contained working environment. It does not include the latest version of rails yet so after installing and checking that it is working ok open a Ruby Console Window (click on the I next to the Apache button, select Rails Applications, Open ruby console window) and update rubygems by gem update --system and update rails by gem install rails
and off you go. Colin
Dear All, Greetings!
