Hi, looks like it didn't want to create the database for me with the rake command. I had to log into postgresql and add it manually.

just thought you should know.

Yeah I got this too. I just closed then restarted the terminal and tried again - worked!

I'm a complete nube to the *nix environment, Ruby, etc., having used only Windows since 1990.

Thanks for the steps. Worked like a charm :)

Wonderful guide, worked great for me. I was trying to set up a virtual instance on Amazon, first using their Amazon Linux AMI. Scapped two instances after the ruby on rails (dependencies, user rights, missing files, etc bla bla etc) was pretty broken and messy. Started a new virtual instance running Ubuntu instead and followed your steps. Much better. It's quite a lengthy process but in the end everything worked like a charm, thanks to you!

Great tutorial. Thank you very much.

As a side note, PostgreSQL offers repositories for recent Ubuntu versions. In the tutorial, you are using the Ubuntu Precise repository no matter which Ubuntu version one selects at the beginning oof tutorial. After some research I found out that PostregreSQL offers differents repositories depending on the Ubuntu version. That would be nice to add to the tutorial as well, just in case.

Thanks Jason! I think at the time they didn't have anything past precise. I'm glad they got Trusty and Utopic in there!

Other alternative is to use the RVM PPA (so, automatic updates): https://github.com/rvm/ubun...

Great article! Helped me a ton!

Just an update, the command below is deprecated:

echo "gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc" > ~/.gemrc

now it should be:

echo "gem: --no-document" > ~/.gemrc

Awesome, thanks for the heads up Isaac!

All the process went fine but for some reason I cant see the page on localhost:3000.
It´s giving me a "page not available" error.

Last terminal output is:

vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~/myapp$ rails server
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 4.2.0 application starting in development on http://localhost:3000
=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server

I had the same problem, but only when trying to connect from another machine on my network. Tried from local and it works successfully. How to open up the server other hosts?

Question, for exporting the rbenv, what's the best way to handle both OSX and Ubuntu? Because I use dotfiles for my zsh and want to just have one file for my zshenv.

Reply

I personally store my configs in a Git repo, clone it on each machine, and symlink the configs.

[SOLVED]
Question here.
Working on a Linux VM using VirtualBox.
I'm configuring Git and I added the key to my settings.

When I run:

ssh -T git@github.com

I get the following message:
rchirino@rchirino-VirtualBox:~$ ssh -T git@github.com
Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '192.30.252.130' to the list of known hosts.
Permission denied (publickey).

Any ideas on how to correct this? Also, can I continue the installation steps and fix this later?

Thanks!

Thanks Chris! These are probably the clearest installation instructions I've read.

You're welcome! I'm glad I was able to help. :)

I agree. Totally new and the install process was very confusing when using www.railstutorial.org. Thanks for the clear instructions.

Вы забыли упомянуть "Terminal" -> Profile -> Parameters profile -> Heading and command -> Tick this To start a command as an envelope of an input.
