Tnank you.
Hope to try it on separate folder

Topic: RubyStack & JRubyStack / Two independent RubyStacks

I need two RubyStacks of different editions, running independently on the same Win PC. Is it possible? If yes, what should I do besides simple installation in different folders?

(I do not need Apache and MySQL for the second stack. More, I would prefer not to have them at all. Mongrel and SQLite are enough for the case.)

TIA

Topic: RubyStack & JRubyStack / upgrading rails to 2.1 windows

Thank you for reply.

Trying to clarify my concern regarding internetless rails 2.1 installation.

1. Should I upgrade to 1.1-1 (which is NOT rails 2.1) first?

2. Has the Stack some extra stuff non-recognizible by the standard gem command, so I would not notice potential problems, keeping Stack-specific things non-upgraded to comply with Rails 2.1.

It will be difficult to catch the problem later.

Topic: RubyStack & JRubyStack / upgrading rails to 2.1 windows

Just came to the forum to ask rails 2.1 question :-). But I need something extra:

My PC, where I need rails 2.1 is not (and never will be) connected to Internet. So I need to move downloaded gem to the PC first and then install it with -l switch.

So, what else should I download to have rails 2.1 working within BitNami Stack without headache?
(I have WinXP-SP2 with RubyStack -0 currently)

Thank you in advance.

Topic: RubyStack & JRubyStack / Wide DOS Window bug

It seems there is a bug in the current RubyStack for Windows (ruby 18.6 release).
It appears when the RubyStack DOS Windows has width of more than 80 characters.
The simplest way to reproduce it:

I. Setup the window width:
1. Open BitNami DOS Window
2. Click on upper-left small icon on the Window
3. Properties->Layout->
4. Set “Screen Buffer Size” Width and “Windows Size” Width to 100->OK->
5. You may want not to change the permanent properties settings; so just click OK in the appeared new window to close the Properties dialog
The Window gets wider.

II. Start console:
6. In the DOS Window: cd to your project
7. ruby script/console
The prompt appears:
>>

III. Reproduce the error:
8. Enter any string of more than 80 characters into the command line. Eg. enter “xxxxx…..xxxx”.
9. Hit the back-arrow key several times until the cursor moves to the position of less-then-80
10. See what happen.

Using wide window is very convenient for entering/editing longer command strings. The bug actually prohibits it.
