Thanks Phil
I have run into a gotcha with the ISP which will not provide Rails 3 on a shared server. Can someone please enlighten me as to why not. What are the problems?
Apologies for OT but google so far doesn't help.
I had a similar situation & I just started using vps instead.
I think most ISPs are still using Rails 2 because they see no need to upgrade & are also wary of the swiftness of the Rails/Ruby releases. Plus there is no definitive Rails 3 per se to speak of.
So, your only choice is to go with either a dedicated server, a vps/cloud solution or a specialist Rails outfit. VPS/cloud is by far the cheapest & most flexible IMO & works for me.
Cheers,
Phil...
I would tend to agree that there is no definitive rails 3. Each, even minor change, virtually wrecks some part of previous coding and now they recommend preparing for Rails 4 which will trash some Rails 3 coding. Not happy Jan! Be great if the devs got something working and left it alone. Is Rails 2 safe enough to rely on?
On the subject of Dedicated or VPS, I found Ventra-ip which provides Rails on shared server and today is releasing pricing on Dedicated and VPS. Prices are w-a-y below AussieHQ, Uber and others. I've seen no reports of problems with them. Has anyone o list used Ventra?
<rant> Strange thing with Fedora 18. Apache or rather localhost:3000 works a treat with Rails but Drupal 7 on localhost/devsystem collapses when trying to install a live site copy. Mysql in Fedora 18 shuts down while building the database from an .sql file. Pig of a thing.
