Ruby on Rails - IIS Windows Server 2008
Hi
Have been bashing my head against a wall trying to get a demo Ruby on Rails app working on our windows servers but have hit issue after issue.
First I installed rails using the windows installer from here http://railsinstaller.org/
I then followed this link http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html and was able to get the test blog site working when I start the "rails server" and i'm able to posts blogs so I think the SQLite DB is ok.
So now i'm trying to get IIS to serve the webpages. I've followed the instructions on this site http://www.helicontech.com/articles/ruby-on-rails-on-windows-in-production/
I've tried installing both to my laptop using IIS express as well as installing the rails app directly on my test windows server running IIS. On both I'm getting to the point where I create the new blog home page by running 'rails g controller home index'
This seems to create the files but when I load http://localhost:61428/home/index from my laptop I get the following message
Routing Error
No route matches [GET] "/home/index"
When I run the command from the server using IIS I get the below
We're sorry, but something went wrong.
We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly.
I think it may be a handler issue in IIS. I've heard it's a real pain to get this running in Windows but the alternative is to buy a Linux server.
Thoughts?
