[Rails] Using MacPorts To Install Ruby 1.9.1 and Rails 2.3.0 RC1

Using MacPorts To Install Ruby 1.9.1 and Rails 2.3.0 RC1

WARNING:  If you want to live on the edge, please continue with the steps below.  Also, please be aware that all gems are not fully compatible with

          Ruby 1.9.1 stable release (i.e. 1.9.1p0).  Furthermore, this installation requires you to remove ALL Ruby related gems and ports because

          we are performing a clean install.  Lastly, I am using an experimental machine (i.e. Apple PowerMac G5) to complete this task and I would

          NOT advise the below actions within a production environment.

0)  Remove Previous Ruby Ports (i.e. ruby, ruby19, rb-*, and so on) and Gems

    a) Ports

       sudo port uninstall <port-name>

       sudo port clean <port-name>

    

       Note:  Execute the above for all ruby related ports.

       

    b) Gems

    

       rm -rf /opt/local/lib/ruby

       rm -rf /opt/local/lib/ruby19

       

       Note:  You may not need to execute both commands and this really depends on what you have installed and how.

    

1)  Remove Rake ( Optional If It Does Not Exist )

     sudo rm -rf /opt/local/bin/rake

2)  Install Ruby 1.9.1, SQLite3, and Mysql 5 Ports

     sudo port install ruby19 +nosuffix

     sudo port mysql5 +server

     sudo port sqlite3

  

     Note:  The above ruby19 install generates the required executables without the extension.

     

3)  Install Rack, Rake, and Rails 2.3.0 Ruby Gems

     sudo gem install rack

     sudo gem install rake

     sudo gem install rails --source=http://gems.rubyonrails.org

4)  Install SQLite 3 Ruby Gem      

     sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby

    

5)  Install MySQL 2.8.1 Ruby Gem

     sudo gem install kwatch-mysql-ruby -- --with-mysql-config=/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_config

    

6)  Install Thin

     sudo gem install thin

    

7)  Generate Rails Test Application

     rails test

    

8)  Change To The Root Of Rails Application

     cd test

    

9)  Start Thin

     script/server thin

    

     Note:  The above command produces the above warning message:

    

               warning: encoding option is ignored - N

           

10) Navigate To The Site Using Your Browser:

      URL:  http://localhost:3000

      Result:  You should see the "Rails Welcome aboard" page.    

11) Now, Let Us Generate A Simple Blog

      script/generate scaffold blog title:string text:text

    

      Note:  The above command produces the above warning message:

    

                warning: encoding option is ignored - N

    

12) Migrate The Database

      rake db:migrate

    

13) Navigate To The Site Using Your Browser:   

     URL:  http://localhost:3000/blogs

    

     and interact with the Rails application to verify that things are working.

    

14) If you made it this far, 

     you are running Rails 2.3.0 RC1 and Ruby 1.9.1.

    

Good luck,

-Conrad

Thin works, but WEBrick encounters an error:

Internal Server Error
undefined method `each'

Thin works, but WEBrick encounters an error:

   Internal Server Error
   undefined method `each'

Yes, this is the expected behavior when trying to use WEBrick instead of Thin.

Expected by whom? It certainly wasn't expected by me, and I suspect it
won't be expected by other newbies. Anyway, thanks again for the
step-by-step instruction.

[Conrad Taylor]

It was expected by me.  If WEBrick was working, I would had added the following

use case for step (9):

script/server

instead of

script/server thin

Furthermore, WEBrick and Mongrel wasn't updated to support ruby 1.9.1 at the time I was

putting this tutorial together.  Lastly, I plan to turn these instructions into a blog post so that 

I can easily update it.

Fair enough.

Google brought me here.

I installed ruby 1.9.1 with the 1.9 suffix, and I think ./script/server
is confused and is trying to run the old ruby stuff that ships with OSX.
Does it mean I have to reinstall everything from scratch with the
+nosuffix flag?

Thanks

I confirm I needed to reinstall ruby with +nosuffix. Now it all works,
well except ruby-debug which won't compile :-(

If you're using Rails 3, it is recommended that you use Ruby 1.9.2.
If this is the case, then you might want to use RVM for installing
Ruby by doing the following:

rvm install 1.9.2- head

Good luck,

I'm still running 2.3.8 until 3 goes official. I'll give a try at RVM.

By the way my machine runs Tiger on a PowerPC, is there any issue I
might run into?

If you're using Rail 2.3.8, I would still recommend using Ruby 1.9.2 instead

of Ruby 1.9.1.  Why?

Next, I would recommend upgrading to Leopard but you should be good

with Tiger.

Good luck,
