A while ago I started to get interested in Ruby, or so I thought. I found out that it’s actually Ruby on Rails (RoR) I fell in love with.

I’ve dedicated some of my time to studying the ins and outs of RoR. There seem to be a lot of information about RoR in blogs and wikis online. However, sometimes the information is limited.

Most of the information that can be found now is not up-to-date since it covers Rails 1, but Rails 2 is already out. This presents some roadblocks, since some defaults have changed (eg. SQLite is chosen as default database instead of MySQL).

Also, it seems like most of these people use RoR on their Mac computers, so they write accordingly. There may not be very much difference in how things are done on OSX as compared to Linux, but still, those differences can have you spending a lot of time looking for solutions.

While I’m exploring the worl of Ruby on Rails, I’ll try to document as much as possible to share my findings, so others, who might have the same problems, may benefit from it.

I found Typo, some blogging software for RoR, which I managed to install at typo.rehuel.com. There is very little information about Typo 5.0.2 out there, so I hope my findings can benefit some.
