If you've finished part two let's continue. In this part of the series I'm going to assume you have a working installation of MySQL on your local client machine that we will only need for testing purposes. If you've got a Mac you might look at installing MacPorts and using it to install MySQL for you. First we'll create a test rails project. I'm going to use the latest rails 2 sugar in setting up this simple test site. Open up terminal or iTerm and find a directory you want to use to create the test project. Here we go:
CODE:
-
rails --d=mysql factory
-
cd factory
-
rake db:create
-
script/generate scaffold widget name:string description:text
-
rake db:migrate
Now let's test our site to make sure everything is working correctly:
CODE:
-
script/server
Open up your browser and try the site out using http://localhost:3000/widgets.
