Ruby on Rails Application

I am looking at the PowerDns on Rails front end for a Power DNS backend. The PowerDNS on Rails requires Ruby on Rails so I started looking into how to get it running on CentOS 5.3.

After downloading and installing the app, I tested it via running:

ruby script/server

which starts up a small web browser on port 3000.

I also had to delete the index.html file so the application was accessible from the root of the webserver and all the links worked.

Once it was tested, I wanted to make the installation more robust and permanent. I found this great tutorial to help wrap Mongrel Cluster and Apache around the app.
