TriMethylXanthine Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 How can I use Rake and run Rakefiles other way than ssh?I know that you don't allow ssh connections, but I need to execute Rakefiles, how can I do that remotely?
Wizard Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Why would you need Rake? Why not ask the Rake forum?
TriMethylXanthine Posted December 16, 2009 Author Posted December 16, 2009 I need Rake to bootstrap a MySQL database for Radiant CMS.Not bootstrapped database was the cause for Radiant not working.I always manage to ask a lot of obvious questions before looking at a readme. Ask the Rake forum...seems like a good idea, I don't know why but I didn't think about it.Something is happening with my brain today.Maybe I just got tired. :/ And by the way, sorry for my English.I have a strong feeling that I did a mistake in that post. EDIT: It seems that there's *no* Rake forum. EDIT: I found this at the main page: # Rake Rake is Ruby's equivalent of GNU Make. Rakefiles gets rid of a lot of the complex syntax in standard Makefiles, and redesign the important directives in Ruby syntax. But what is the sense for Rake if you cannot really execute Rakefiles?
Wizard Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Did you set the file permissions to be executable? Hey look, it's the RubyonRails community.
TriMethylXanthine Posted December 19, 2009 Author Posted December 19, 2009 Of course I did. I just need to bootstrap a database with Rake.Of course if I could, I'd do this on my home computer and then upload, but installing everything from scratch (Apache, Mongrel, rspec etc...) on Mac OS X to only once bootstrap a database is a quite difficult and unnecessary task. I heard of database migrating or other operations through calling ActiveRecord from a RoR script, but... there is so much undocumented things in Ruby. >_< And I've asked the community.Nothing helpful. Maybe going to ask the Radiant mailing list. And... why you couldn't just allow restricted SSH access?
Wizard Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Because some bonehead a long time ago abused it. Ask djbob when he returns, I have no power over what you're asking for.
TriMethylXanthine Posted December 19, 2009 Author Posted December 19, 2009 Uh... really a bonehead. > Okay, I'll ask djbob when he'll be there.
Ashoat Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 You can install Rake from cPanel using the Gems installer. Past that, I am unaware as to how to run them but I am sure it is possible. I suggest checking up with some Ruby folks on that.
TriMethylXanthine Posted January 1, 2010 Author Posted January 1, 2010 I _know_ I can install it.The problem is in running the actual Rake tasks/files. Asked a few Rubyists about that.They have all paid hosting with SSH/dedicated servers, so they all have no idea on this. ;
Ashoat Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Have you asked on a forum, though? Asking a few people isn't as good as asking a community.
