RadRails Installation

I’m getting RadRails set up. Here’s what I’ve done:

  • Install InstantRails. I used this in the Rails Studio, but I hadn’t set it up on my main development machine. It’s nice to have that GUI interface to turn Apache and mySQL on and off. I set my World Wide Web Publishing (IIS) service to Manual because I don’t have any local websites running. I unzipped mine to c:\InstantRails\ and it prompted me when I started it to update the configuration files to that location.
  • Install the latest Java Runtime Engine. I already had this installed, so I just updated mine to version 5.0.something.
  • Download RadRails and install. I put mine in c:\radrails\ then ran c:\radrails\radrails.exe

So, everything looks in order. I’ll have to watch that movie about importing existing projects.
