Mystic - Running Mystic - Hulihan Applications Software Development System

Running Mystic

I am fairly new to Linux, but I was able to get Mystic installed. I don't know how to access it though. My Apache is working fine as I created a test page and put it in the htdocs folder and was able to see it. My Mystic folder is also in the htdocs folder, but I can not figure out how to access the application. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -

Running a rails application is a little different than a lot of other programming languages like php, asp, etc. You have a couple of different options for webservers with rails. Your options are webrick(a webserver that comes preinstalled with most rails apps), apache with cgi/fastcgi, apache with Passenger(aka mod_rails), apache/nginx with mongrel(a ruby webserver), and a whole slew of other combinations. Since you're familiar with apache, I'd recommend running Mystic in Apache with Passenger, it's probably the easiest to set up if you're not very familiar with running rails on different webservers. Here's some good guides to get you started:

http://www.modrails.com/install.html - Quick Installation Guide
http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users guide Apache.html - Official Installation(detailed) & User Guide

I hope this helps. let me know if you run into any snags.
