I am having a wonderful time trying to get ruby to work.
I have downloaded itunes64, installed it and have proceeded to download lots of podcasts(in the learning rails series)
On unzipping the Instantrails zip file (this took longer than I expected, in the order of 5 minutes or so. Seems excessive for a 170MB expansion)and trying to run the InstantRails app was informed that my file path could not contain spaces. Painful to say the least.
Got a new path and copied all the files (only about 40000 of them)
Ran the InstantRails app and get the following error:
My machine is running Windows 7 64bit, have VS2008 professional installed with SQL2008 standard edition installed.
I guess this has something to do with SQL server??
Somewhere in all of this is the answer to my problems.
I may have to resort to creating a vanilla virtual machine with nothing installed. Unless someone has some other advice.
The documentation for installing Ruby leaves a lot to be desired.

I had the same problems on my virtual machine that is running Windows XP.
ReplyDeleteI got the error - Apache port (80) is used by "" (inetinfo.exe) !
To fix this I stopped my default web site in IIS that was using port 80. You can change the port to something else if you want or you can change the httpd.conf file to make ruby use a different port.
Next I got the error - Error in the Apache configuration file
To fix this I altered the httpd.config to show the following DocumentRoot:
DocumentRoot "${path}"
instead of
DocumentRoot "${path}/www"
After doing both Apache and MySQL started.
Karen,
ReplyDeleteCould have saved myself a few hours of tedium if I had checked back with this a bit earlier.
Have got it to work
