can't create a new project

Hello,

I want to give rails stack a go. When I create new project seems to be getting created but I can’t cd to it or see any existence of it. Here is my rails command. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi isea,

• What version of Windows are you running?
• Did you get any error message during the installation?
• Once the command rails iam crashed, can you see something inside C:\Program Files\BitNami RubyStack\projects\iam?

thanks

Hi Manuel,

I am running Vista (I know ;) )

No errors during installation.

Nope, there is no C:\Program Files\BitNami RubyStack\projects\iam. The iam directory does not exist.
Thanks for your help

Can you try running the shell as administrator? Right click on the “Use ruby” and chose “Run as Administrator”. It should work

Hi - I have this same issue - not sure about vista and its permissions. When run as administrator I launch in \windows\system32 folder. Not sure about running all the other environment variables. Is there a way to enable the provided icon to use appropriate permissions? Thanks!

We are looking into it, but in particular, even if the command line takes you to \windows\system32, you can then cd to the installation directory and everything will work ok.

I solved this problem by moving the projects folder into my User folder. From a security standpoint, I really don’t want to be developing applications as the administrator. For more complete details see http://blog.sutch.us/2007/12/10/bitnami-rubystack-on-windows-vista

Thank you for your feedback Sutch. We are working on a new release with Apache and phpMyAdmin, we will work on permissions issue too.

Manuel,

Thanks. I’m looking forward to it.

Will the location of the projects folder also be addressed so that us Vista users don’t need to be concerned about administrator rights when creating a new project?

We’ve taken note of the suggestion. We will fix it on a next release :) .

Just for the record my issue was fixed by running cmd line as admin. Unfortunately, Vista won’t allow me to run as admin by default for this program. oh well. thanks for the help

We are working on a new release with Apache and phpMyAdmin, we will work on permissions issue too.

I am looking forward to a fix to the permissions issue in Vista too. ^^

Hi,

This error has been fixed on the last version of RubyStack, 0.1-beta-4. We have relocated the default projects directory on Windows, to address Windows Vista UAC restrictions. Thanks Sutch for reporting this.
