Leopard on Rails

So, Apple Mac OS X Leopard comes pre-installed with Ruby on Rails. I am currently running 10.5.1, but till now haven't even played with RoR on the spotty cat, till now...

Found a great post, Ruby on Rails on Leopard: A N00b's view. This was just what the doctor ordered. I hadn't installed the X Code tools, so did that and pretty much followed Jeremy's example.

I did get one problem, when running the sudo gem update --include-dependencies, I got an error message: ERROR: While executing gem … (OpenURI::HTTPError). Googled it, and found this post, which suggested trying the command again, which I did.

Like Jeremy I navigated to an old Ruby project directory, typed: "script/server start" and then pointed my browser to 0.0.0.0:3000 and got the default "Welcome on board" welcome. Great stuff, now for MySQL...
