Webistrano install notes for Ubuntu 9.x

Had a few issues getting Webistrano running on my laptop running Ubuntu 9.x - here are my notes, hopefully will help someone else out ;)

Install RUBY using 'apt-get' with these others...
-------------------------------------------------------

sudo apt-get install ruby
sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev
sudo apt-get install rake
sudo apt-get install rubygems
sudo apt-get install libopenssl-ruby

Get the source of Ruby, to use the OPENSSL required by webistrano
-----------------------------------------------------------------

wget ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.7-p72.tar.gz

then goto :

(4) cd extracted dir/ext/openssl
(5) ruby extconf.rb
(6) make
(7) sudo make install

Edit Webistrano configs for the particular enviroment
-------------------------------------------------------

in the database.yml =>

ubuntu mysql socket is :

/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

Edit Webistrano install procedures
-------------------------------------------------------

CREATE Database via RAKE :

# cd webistrano
# RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
START:
# cd webistrano
# ruby script/server -d -p 3000 -e production
---->
goto: http://localhost:3000

all good.
