Install ruby on rails on CentOS

Install Ruby On Rails on CentOS

Assumption:

• CentOS 6 X64
• Ruby 1.9.2
• Rails 3.1.0

Steps:

• Preinstall the dependencies if they are not installed yet

yum install httpd-devel openssl-devel zlib-devel gcc gcc-c++ curl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel mysql-server mysql-devel

• Download and install Ruby

wget http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.2-p180.tar.gz
tar -xvzf ruby-1.9.2-p180.tar.gz
cd ruby-1.9.2-p180
./configure 
make 
make install

• Alternative way to install ruby, by RVM,（ highly recommended）:

 bash -s stable < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer)
 echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function' >> ~/.bash_profile
 source ~/.bash_profile
 rvm install 1.9.2
 rvm use 1.9.2 --default

• Download and install RubyGems

wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/74954/rubygems-1.8.5.tgz
tar -xvzf rubygems-1.8.5.tgz
cd rubygems-1.8.5
ruby setup.rb

Gem actually will be installed with ruby 1.9.2, so simply use following to update itself:

gem update --system

Use gem-fast to boost gem installation speed, with progress indicator addded (Experemental):

gem install gem-fast

If you have having "zlib" related issues with gems command, try following:

cd ruby-1.9.2-p180/ext/zlib
ruby extconf.rb
make
make install

• Install Rails

gem install rails

• Bundle Insall

If you are having issue on "`require': no such file to load -- openssl", you have to install openssl-devel, do following:

sudo apt-get install openssl libssl-dev
cd /ruby_install_dir/ext/openssl
ruby extconf.rb

make

make install

For installing rmagick, you might also need to install ImageMagick-devel by yum first:

yum install ImageMagick
yum install ImageMagick-devel

Setup ROR on centos

• Getting following error while try to start passenger in app directory:

Cannot execute '/var/lib/passenger-standalone/3.0.7-x86_64-ruby1.9.2-linux-gcc4.1.2-1002/support/helper-scripts/prespawn http://0.0.0.0:3000': Permission denied (13)

Solution: Change the permission of that file to 755 did solve the problem.

• Getting error while try to install gems by "bundle install"

Solution: Use "bundle check" to check the missing gems, and use "gem install" to install them

Rails installation

Setup rails edge with edge rDoc:


gem install rails --rdoc -v ">=3.1.0rc"

Envioronment

Specifying environment for rake command:

Simply add RAILS_ENV=test before the rake command.

Bundle command

# Install missing gems
bundle install 
# Update gems
bundle update

如果不能安装linecache19 (0.5.12)

gem install ruby-debug19 -- --with-ruby-include=$rvm_path/src/ruby-1.9.2-p290  

远程发布站点：

如果发生错误--- bundle command not found

在~/.bashrc文件中加入代码

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*

在gemfile中加入代码
  

gem 'execjs'  
gem 'therubyracer' 

Documentations

Running following command to generate rails API document under doc/api:

rake doc:rails

Another way,

gem server

Then, access the created web server for accessing all rDOC informations.

install apache+passenger
1.install Passenger

gem install passenger --include-dependencies 
passenger-install-apache2-module

2.config apache /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Passenger will also suggests how to modify HTTPD. Conf configuration files

 LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/passenger-3.0.9/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
 PassengerRoot /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/passenger-3.0.9
 PassengerRuby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.2-p290/ruby

 <VirtualHost *:80> 
       ServerName www.depot.com 
       DocumentRoot /var/www/railswork/depot/public  #指向public目录 
       <Directory /var/www/railswork/depot/public> 
          AllowOverride all 
          Options Indexes -MultiViews 
       </Directory> 
 </VirtualHost>
