Setup Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander Discussion

Hi, I got this error when entered this command:
sudo -u postgres createuser aaa -s
"could not change directory to "/root": Permission denied"

I am new to both ruby and ubuntu and am just wondering where the default directory is for the config/database.yml? Apologies in advance if its quite simple

Great guide for a *nix n00b like me!!

Only one issue, the "add-apt-repository" stuff was reporting "command not found" so I had to search elsewhere to sort that.

But again, thanks my friend, best guide ever :)

if i copy a new rails app and then cd in and type bundle install, it says "The program 'bundle' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:

sudo apt-get install ruby-bundler"

how can i get it work.
infact doing rails on a new folder says i got to install rails using"sudo apt-get install rails". why like this?
(things were easier with windows)

Setting up LAMP, PHP, and Ruby/Rails on an Amazon EC2 instance, running Ubuntu:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 13.10
Release: 13.10
Codename: saucy

so this is cool. Installing liquid template (Shopify's templating language / framework), drupal, wordpress, and other options. Be fun to set up an old-skool slash-dot server maybe later.

Sound interesting to anyone? If so I'll post my ongoing results here. So far -- stumbles over Amazon's documentation on getting started... but once you have your instance up, everything is straight out of the web, As Amazon claims, it is like having the server in front of you, So (not to beat a dead horce here) It is as if I have my work server here on my coffee table which works for me!
Oh yeah my micro-instance is free for 12 months while I try to do something with it ;)

You should have told us how to click "Ok" in terminal. :D

Hi Chris, thanks for the tutorial. I'm new to ruby on rails and is currently trying to set it up on ubuntu 13.10. I've gotten as far as setting up the postgresql but i keep getting this:

try wget --help for more options
gpg: no valid open PGP data found

after typing :

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://apt.postgresql.org/p... precise-pgdg main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list"
wget --quiet -O - http://apt.postgresql.org/p... | sudo apt-key add -

What do i do?

Hey thanks for posting this! I set up a user with full permissions on my Linode VPS and then disabled root access for security reasons. Maybe for that reason I am getting "rbenv not found" after I type "rbenv install 2.1.0". Any ideas?

Thanks for this great article. I'm a newbie and moving pretty slowly in getting the environment set up, so this really helps. At this point, it looks like I have Ruby and Rails installed, I've set up myapp and done the "rails server" command at the end, but the http://localhost:3000 doesn't show me anything ("Problem loading page" message). Do you have any idea what might be wrong? Thanks!

Nice post, you could improve adding imagemagick or graphicsmagick as well

Everything worked fine until I tried to add test the website (http://localhost:3000). I received an error that stated "no Rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb, Rakefile.rb). I ran a trace, but it seems that everything else loaded properly. Do I need to add the rakefile?

Hi Chris,

I have this error : No binary rubies available for: ubuntu/13.10/i386/ruby-2.1.0.
