BXR Installation
Added by Anonymous User 323 days ago
The installing process is absolutely and totally confusing. I got past configuration.yml but "rake db:migrate" is completely throwing me off. I keep getting errors. I am a fairly inexperienced server admin, and this is driving me up the wall. It seems like the instructions do not account for new server users, when it definitely should.
I REALLY want to try out BXR, but I can't even install it!
And after I do, I have no idea what "fastcgi/mongrel/webrick" is. The instructions say to use this to visit the application, but how? ?
I'm so confused!
Sorry to here you're running into trouble with the installation. Installing a rails application can be tricky sometimes. Are you familiar with installing a rails application? If not, you want to make sure you have ruby, rails, mysql, etc. installed. The rake db:migrate command installs the database structure into the mysql database you've created. After that is done, then you set up the webserver with the rails application. This webserver can be apache(which is the same as fastcgi), or a specific rails web server(mongrel or webrick). Are you trying to install this on a mac? If so, here's some good tutorials on how to install & run mongrel(which I would recommend for you, it's easier than setting up apache) on max os x:

I hope this helps. If you want to send me the actual errors you're getting, I can maybe give you more specific directions on what to do next.
