Some Examples

• Look at these Examples:
  
  1. MiniTwitter -- display messages for one follower from all users in reverse chronological order.
  2. DisplayValidations -- display validation in a non-scaffold-based project.

Uploading a Rails Project

• The CDM server cdmruby is available for uploading final projects for our class.
• This Unix server uses Apache and Phusion Passenger to display Rails projects.
• The cdmruby server can only host one Rails project per user.
• To upload your application to the server, you can use FileZilla, which is a free software download.
• Here are the directions: Deploying a Rails Application on CDMRuby.
• Note that only Rails project can be deployed at a time on CDMRuby, although this project can be changed any time.
• After uploading your application, you may need to run bundle install to update the gems.
• To do this, you can open an SSH Unix Terminal Window with Putty, which is also a free download.
• You can only run bundle install with super user privileges, because the installed gem files folder is restricted. Use the following command instead:
  

  > bundle install --path vendor/bundle
  

Rails Security

• Look at the Rails Security document.
