Why did I create another blog?

Install dependencies

The simplest way to do it is using thor.

thor merb:dependencies:install [—local]. The —local to bundle the dependencies in the project dir

After this you’ll have to install our bundled gems. Right now it’s will_paginate and dm-tags until our changes make it into the official release.

thor merb:gem:install bundle/dm-tags-0.9.8.gem bundle/will_paginate-3.0.0.gem.

Create your database.

That’s it.

FIX for install

as now there are issues with bundling, so you may need if install failed

$ cp bundle/* gems/cache/ $ thor merb:gem:redeploy $ thor merb:gem:install

Getting Up and running

migrate your database $ echo ‘DataMapper.auto_migrate!’ | bin/merb -i

if you see lots of sql and this at the end:

[Article, User, Merb::DataMapperSessionStore, Tag, Tagging]

everything went ok

Admin user

To create an user, right now you have to use the console.

$ echo ‘User.create :login => "admin", :password => "password", :password_confirmation => "password"’ | bin/merb -i

now head to /admin and log in

preparing to run specs

$ cp sample_development.db sample_test.db $ spec spec/…

Thor task for getting up and running

there’s an attempt to accomplish the Up and Running and Spec Preparation with thor under

tasks/whydi_up.thor

that tries to do the same as the steps above but it’s not ready yet

Deploying with passenger

to deploy with passenger add this to /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1 localhost whydicab.local

and this (adjust if needed) to httpd.conf

# merb deploy # Only needed if getting 403 Forbidden errors on static assets: <Directory "/home/joahking/devel/merb/whydicab">

  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all

</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>

  ServerName www.whydi.devel
  DocumentRoot /home/joahking/devel/merb/whydicab/public
  RackEnv development
  ErrorLog /home/joahking/devel/merb/whydicab/log/error.log

</VirtualHost>

now no more fastcgi: $ rm public/merb.fcgi $ rm public/.htaccess (for development, might be dangerous in production) $ touch tmp/restart.txt OR apachectl graceful

and have a look at config.ru.sample in your root.
