Ruby On Rails In Pdaxrom, Ruby on Rails Options

[dinorex]

really good to see that Ruby on Rails can be done under pdaXrom env't...

the topic was initiated by another zaurus user, and he is succeeded in doing so... then he told me how to apply this technique and so i deliver the screen captures in my machine.....

The solver is called 'boris' (he should be a member here... well, i don't know his id here... )

original thread outside oesf (but in total chinese... ) :-

little excerpts from there...

download RubyGems and expands so in zaurus: -

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126
ruby setup.rb

after installing Gem, install Rails: gem install rails

install Mongrel: Mongrel is a web application server written by ruby
ipkg install make gcc gcc-headers
gem install mongrel

finally MySQL
feed: http://www.pdaxrom.org/contrib/desertrat/
ipkg update
ipkg install mysql-server
ipkg install mysql-client mysql-tools (depends on your interest)

default install location :/usr/local/mysql
first time run of mysql, run that first: mysql_install_db

if you want to use 'mysql' account instead of root to run mysql,

refer http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/sh...ad.php?t=441366

user ID =  mysql in both  /etc/passwd and /etc/group 

then reset the /usr/local/var permission & ownership as mysql ....

after that, the /etc/rc.d/init.d/apachectl start then can runs..... @@

for testing the sample database

in console prompt:

CODE

rails sample

under sample directory (in this case: /usr/local/sample)

mongrel_rails start -p 3006 -d

screen captures: -

in IE7 browsers: -


pdaxrom side: -


localhost query application's environment results: -





since the processing speed in this env't is quite slow...

Boris (the originator) wants to try the lighttpd (which is a lightweight server to apache), and sqlite but not yet started...

interested members please investigate the feasibilities on making this env't to be less resources demanding to make it run faster.....

AGAIN, let's honour this topic to the boris and moming: to kick off and deploy the rail sample env't inside the server....

The following is the output sample written from a friend writing via Ruby on Rails : -

great!!! i want to get it running on my C3000 once I get pdaX fully setup there...

The bulk update problem mentioned here (and caused by memory issues):
http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=21376

has been resolved by this nice guy:
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?fun...id=126&atid=575

Following his instructions I was able to install rails using Meanie's ruby package 1.8.5 from
the beta3 custom feed at the Tyrannozaurus site

CODE

root-:) gem list -r

The installation of the framework itself was rather quick, but an attempt to install the documentation went for >3hrs (with no X):

CODE

root-:) top
Mem: 61256K used, 1036K free, 0K shrd, 148K buff, 50632K cached

Swap:       269128        58236       210892

so eventually I stopped it.

This shows memory demand of ruby/rails will be high, so a look into
the BleakHouse profiler and other memory usage notes might be worth it.
The impact of using locally MySQL would be interesting to see.
