Ruby Install Walkthrough
I installed Ruby on Rails on my XP box (SP1) at work and thought I would post how I did it.
- Install went like ONLamp tutorial (see my post on Ruby on Rails resources) without a glitch. I did not install MySQL, since I am going to use my Postgresql database with Rails.
- Created empty cookcook sample application OK.
- modified
cookbook\config\database.yml
to use adapter
'postgresql'.
- Rails complains about not being able to find adapter
'postgres'
, so I installed postgres library for ruby:
'gem install postgres-pr'(see RoR Wiki or Erik Veenstra's Rails tutorial for details).

I came across this excellent set of configuration tutorials on the Ruby on Rails Wiki.
