Installing Rails

I got rails working with some help from some online suggestions.
Here's somethings that I think helped:

  • Initially just used Ubuntu gems to install rails. When I tried to start the server it complained it needed a newer rubygems (gem).
  • Install new rubygems from the website. Hopefully a future Ubuntu upgrade to rubygems won't wipe this out.
  • Default page that shows server configuration had an error complaining about missing sqlite3 file.
  • I don't know if the sqlite3-ruby gem was installed already or not, but I think it may have been.
  • sudo aptitude install libsqlite3-dev libsqlite3-ruby helped, but I don't know which did it.

I did other things too, but I'm not sure which are were necessary. I guess I'll get to find out when I install on the Fedora ami :-)

Persisting my AMI

Well, I just uploaded an ami called image. Oops. Hope no one was counting on their image being called image. I have now changed it to something more unique. I need to consider how to delete the wrong "image" image.
