Hello,

I am considering trying out Ruby but have following question.

At the moment I have a web site which uses PHP and MySQL. The hosting
server is a Unix server and may well be running Apache but at the
moment I do not know for sure.

Do I have to develop code on my own PC using Apache?

Cheers

Geoff

Hi Geoff,

when developing your Rails application you don't need any web server
(until it comes to the deployment on your hosting server ;) ).

Rails comes with an in-build web server (WEBrick) that you can start
with "script/server" from your Rails app root directory. But you'll
still need MySQL though ;)

Cheers and best regards,

Actually, *Ruby* comes with WEBrick.

To test deployment, you can use Apache (dunno how easy it is to set that
up with Windows OSes and mod_ruby, I had no luck, but didn't try very
hard), or a UNIX/Linux VM (there are free virtualization tools, like
VMware Server, Innotek's VirtuaBox, MS Virtual PC, the open source
version of Virtuozzo).

To get started, you might want to try an embedded SQLite3 database. No
need to run a db server.
