Ruby on Rails Tutorial: sample application

This is the sample application for Ruby on Rails Tutorial: Learn Rails by Example by Michael Hartl.

This sample has been modified to run on Cloud Foundry. The cf-autoconfig gem was added to enable auto-configuration of database connections as described in the Cloud Foundry documentation. The mysql2 and activerecord-mysql2-adapter gems were also added to support connection to MySQL database.

Running the application on Cloud Foundry

After installing in the 'cf' command-line interface for Cloud Foundry, targeting a Cloud Foundry instance, and logging in, the application can be pushed using these commands:

Choose a MySQL service from the list and create a service instance named rails-db using a MySQL service and plan:

$ cf create-service p-mysql 100mb-dev rails-db
Creating service rails-db
OK

Now push the application:

$ cf push
