[ANN] Instant Rails 1.0 Final has been released!
Curt Hibbs
version number in the Help>>About dialog.
Instant Rails is a one-stop Rails runtime solution containing Ruby, Rails,
Apache, and MySQL, all preconfigured and ready to run. No installer, you
simply drop it into the directory of your choice and run it. It does not
modify your system environment. This release of Instant Rails is for
Windows, but there are plans for ports to Linux, BSD, and OSX.
The Instant Rails home page has links for downloading and getting started
with Instant Rails:
http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/
If you already have Instant Rails installed, then be sure to read the
upgrade instructions:

* Configure SCGI now initializes the dialog with the current

ruby-mswin32 1.8.4 (which is what 1.8.4 of the One-Click
one-click installer will be built upon).

* Upgraded to SCGI Rails Runer 0.4.3
* Added "fxri" to the help menu.

wrong current directory. This meant that ruby\bin wasn't being

"gem" or "rails" commands.
* Fixed several minor problems.
* Created this change log! Also, added a ToDo.txt file.

Hard to say.
Like all open source projects, this is a volunteer effort and we all
have Families and day-jobs, too. A lot of it depends on how much help
we get (hint, hint).
The main task is rewriting the manager app that we forked from
EasyPHP. Its windows C++ app. We are rewriting it as a cross-platform
Rails app, and that effort is just now getting started.

Curt, can you explain how I configure Instant Rails to run MySQL on a
port other that 3306? The MySQL configuration option (from the "I"
menu) does not have a place to set a port.
Thanks,
James
Curt Hibbs
When you're editing the MySQL config file (from the "I" menu, as you
stated above), add a line to the "[mysqld]" section:
port=3344
or whatever port you like. Remember to set a matching "port: 3344" (or
whatever) your Rails app's database.yml

Perfect.
