[HH#933528] Installing Ruby on Rails

[HelioHost]

I?d like to get started working with Ruby on Rails and so need to get that environment installed on my account. But the link https://krydos.heliohost.org/ror_ruby3.2.1_rails7.0.5.zip is not responding.

How else can I go about getting set up, preferably with a more current version of Ruby and Rails?

Also, is there a way to manually restart the environment to update the sight faster than waiting on Apache restarts? Something like Django?s WSGI Control Access?

Thanks for pointing out that our Ruby on Rails guide was a little outdated, and had a broken link. We have updated the guide to use Ruby 3.2.2 and Rails 8.0.1, and uploaded a new set of example files for the updated versions. You can find the updated guide at

https://wiki.helionet.org/tutorials/ror

We'd love to hear about it if you get it working.

Once you have Ruby on Rails set up you can click "Restart App" in Plesk to load the new code.

I almost have it working. After waiting a bit more than 2 hours I?m getting this error:

?
This seems odd because that config.hosts is already in the environment.rb file:

?

Maybe I have something else messed up?

Hi Bob, 
It seems you tried to attach some screenshots to your email to show us the errors, but our email support system rejects binary attachments. If you are submitting a screenshot or attachment please post a link to the file instead of attaching it to the email. (Some people like to upload the file to an image hosting service like imgur, for example, and then send us the imgur link in an email.) Otherwise, you could try to copy and paste the error message text and send that over to us, and we'll be happy to try to help you troubleshoot further. Another alternative is to login to the forum directly, and upload the screenshots that way. 
Many thanks,

[bobrock]

Oops! I'm sorry. I'll try it again, here, on the forum.

I almost have it working. After waiting a bit more than 2 hours I'm getting this error:

On line 5, you have "bobrock.helioho.us" when it should be "bobrock.heliohost.us". 

There may be more going on, but if you correct that line to have the right URL, please let us know what happens.

Thanks! And I'm sorry, again, for wasting your time with such a rookie mistake.

It's working now.

Onward!

No apology necessary, I'm glad it was a straightforward fix. 

It can be really easy to miss little things when staring at the same code for too long. I lost an hour of my time to a missing semicolon once, that someone else spotted right away for me. ? It happens!
