BXR - Installing BXR on Dreamhost - Hulihan Applications Software Development System

Installing BXR on Dreamhost

Hi,

BXR is the application I have been looking for to easily collaborate with co-workers. This is my first foray into Ruby on Rails.
I want to install this on my paid hosting server from Dreamhost and I have no idea how to do that with the included instructions.
I've already made a MYSQL database for it.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your interest in BXR. To install most rails applications(including BXR), you usually need SSH command-line access to the server that you're installing it on, since you have to enter a couple commands via the command line. Every hosting company has slight differences in how you actually get a Ruby on Rails application running once it's installed. I've heard Dreamhost is a good one for rails applications. Here's a guide I found on their site that may help:

If you get stuck or anything, i'd try contacting their support for any help since they should have experience installing rails apps for customers. Hope this helps. Let me know if you run into any snags. Have a good one -
