Currently, ruby is more convenient to put through rvm
\r

Installing RVM

\r
\r

$ sudo apt-get install git-core curl $ sudo bash < <( curl -L http://bit.ly/rvm-install-system-wide ) $ sudo usermod -aG rvm ubuntu 

relogin
\r
In .bashrc don't forget to add [[ -s '/usr/local/lib/rvm' ]] && source '/usr/local/lib/rvm'
\r
\r

Installing ruby

First, put the rvm version of iconv
(native in Ubuntu does not work :(. In the code of your program you can remove the "require iconv")
\r
NB: the same thing is possible in the case of readline, autoconf, Zlib, openssl
\r
\r

$ rvm package install iconv $ rvm install 1.9.2 --with-iconv-dir=$rvm_path/usr 

\r
\r

gems (gemset)

\r
\rhttp://railstutorial.org/
\r
\r

$ rvm gemset create 1.9.2@you_gemset (1.9.2 ruby -- version) $ rvm gemset use you_gemset $ rvm gem install rails $ rvm gem list 

\r
\r

web-server (nginx)

\r
\rwww.modrails.com/install.html
\r
\r

$ rvm gem install passenger $ passenger-install-nginx-module 

Trying to configure apache+passenger+rails3
Rails3 in repositories not found, using gems is also is not put.
\r
And you're 3 rails Deplete?
If you can, please give some explanatory manual.

C given the fact that рельсы3 was released in August 2010 by default, none of the distribe they will not, connect additional repositories to testing sorts.
Or if you are too lazy to look for it manually collect.
how to put on Ubuntu is here
\rbeyondthewheel.com/2010/12/installing-rails-3-on-ubuntu-10-10/

Look here about ubuntu and amazon ec2: habrahabr.ru/blogs/hosting/109045/

I also have apache+passenger+rails3. Put like this manual:

\r
Set the rails as a gem, no problems arose.
