What should site look like after successfull install???

[Chad]

I'm just curious. I think I have successfully setup Lovdbyless on my
server. BUT I am not sure. I am not an IT specialist; The whole
linux server setup and setting up the ruby framework and integrating
it into a Apache webserver had me very confused. But the test "Ruby"
site worked fine so I proceeded to follow the instructions in the
README for LovdbyLess.


Upon completing the installation I am presented with a BLANK WHITE
webpage, with the Big Pink picture (catchy verbage etc...).
Underneath are the "Latest Comments" "Newest Members" "Newest
Pictures" headings. BUT THERE IS NO CSS STYLING. Everything is top
to bottom. I don't have any CSS styling?

So I guess my question is, if I successfully installed this, Should I
end up with something that looks like the Demo Site (http://
try.lovdbyless.com/) , including formatting and CSS (including the
blue-jean background etc...).


OR did I successfully install it and now it is up to me to format (CSS
Code) and design my own layout?

Obviously I want to design my own layout, but I just want to make sure
I ended up with what I was supposed to have (since I was a little
insecure with the initial setup of the server).

THANKS!

The styling should look exactly like the demo site.

Make sure you set all the variables as mentioned in the README. The
site url variable in config/initializers/globals.rb is probably not
set.

Bummer! I thought I had everything setup properly. So I have my
server on a static IP. I setup a subdomain to point to my install.
To access the site I simply type in "sub.domain.com" in my browser.
Should I use the URL: http://sub.domain.com in the globals.rb
file?


ALSO --- Something else that threw me. One of the steps had me setup
a new KEY and paste it into the config file. Above the KEY it was
asking for "_application_name" and I didn't know what to put there so
I left it alone. Can anyone tell me what I might want to change
"_application_name" to? I tried to google it and got a few references
to the "application.class" but I have NO CLUE what that means.

Thanks!

The file I was talking about above is the "environment.rb". There is a
section as follows:

# WARNING: You MUST generate a new secret (use "rake secret") and add
it below!
config.action_controller.session = {
:session_key => '_your_app_name',
:secret => 'feb3914098e330587bbb5e1c799e07e878a33ef442'

I ran the " rake secret " command and copied the output into
the :SECRET portion, BUT WHAT DO I PUT FOR '_your_app_name' ???

Thanks.

the name of you project

[Chad]

But does that name have to match a name in another configuration
file? Or can I put ANY name in there? Does it need to have special
formatting? Such as the leading " _ " (underscore).

Would something like this work:

config.action_controller.session = {
:session_key => 'Test',
:secret => 'feb3914098e330587bbb5e1c799e07e878a33ef442'

Thanks for your help!

This is what I have for the SITE var:

SITE = RAILS_ENV == 'production' ? 'lovdbyless.com' : 'localhost:3000'

It doesn't matter what you name that, so long as it doesn't conflict
with any other cookie names in your app. Most people put _yourappname,
E.G. _lovdbyless.
