Update and Synchronise in Radrails

For some reason update and synchronise for SVN don’t work in the ‘Ruby Explorer’ view. You need to use the ‘Project explorer’ view for these actions and everything will work as expected

SVN on OSX Finally

It took a while but finally I got it figured out. After the initial install (which you can do your own search for) I had to do a few more things in the terminal.

While in the home directory…

$svnadmin create svnrepo

Edit the created ~/svnrepo/conf/passwd file with your chosen username and password

Uncomment the following lines in svnserve.conf

auth-access = write
password-db = passwd

$svnserve -d -r ~/svnrepo

That’s it. You now have a working svn repository at svn://localhost

Set Domain to Rails Folder on Hostmonster

To set main domain to your rails folder on your Hostmonster account, do the following.

1. ssh into your account

2. Rename your public_html folder to public_html_old

3. Create a link to your rails/public folder called public_html

Now the public_html@ link will be treated as if it is the old public_html folder. It’s one of the wonders of *nix.

note: This gives some grief when creating subdomains, showing “Application error Rails application failed to start properly”. I think it’s reading the dispatch files by default rather than doing the subdomain. I’ll have to look into it a bit more. If you only need your main domain though, this works nicely.
