[ANN] Family Connection 1.0

ruby-talk
1

This is a follow-up announcement from the 0.9 release. There are no
major changes, but this release marks a downloadable (tgz) file as
well as a promotional website, a demo application and screenshots.

Family Connection is an easy-to-setup online hub for your family that
includes a Family News section, and an Address Book.

http://familyconnect.rubyforge.org/

Please note that the download (tgz) may not be available for another
hour or so as it propagates through the rubyforge mirrors. You can
access the subversion repository immediately at:

svn export svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/familyconnect/tags/1.0
familyconnection-1.0

For anyone interested in a copy of this family site without the
hassle of setting it up or maintaining it, I can set something up for
you for a small monthly charge. Contact me privately to talk about
this option.

Regards,
Duane Johnson

i just downloaded the lastest have had a few errors installing:

  • had to chmod -R 777 . so the photo dir could be created. standard stuff
    there.

  • then i was going through the config page and got this error on submit of
    the first page

    unable to open image `/var/www/html/public/photo/image/tmp/1136357381.296032.28535/FishRobert.jpg’: No such file or directory:

    that’s probably because that directory doesn’t exist. it’s worth noting
    that my setup is

    out of webroot

    /var/www/ror/familyconnect/
  /var/www/ror/familyconnect/public
  ...

    in webroot

    /var/www/html/familyconnect -> /var/www/ror/familyconnect/public/

    which is pretty standard stuff afaik. in any case the links aren’t being
    generated correctly under this setup - why ‘public’ should be in any
    generated link is strange… is there something i’ve missed with
    configuration?

regards.

I have downloaded this and set it up:

  • untarred into: /home/phil/src/ror/familyconnection-1.0

  • edited the database.yml file for postgres (8.0.4):

    adapter: postgresql
    database: family_connection
    username: phil

  • done: rake db_schema_import

(the tables are setup in postgres OK)

  • I then ran: ruby ~phil/src/ror/familyconnection-1.0/script/server

( which seemed to work OK)

but when I try and use:

http://127.0.0.1:3000/family_connection/administrator/setup

I get:

no such file to load – RMagick

RAILS_ROOT: /home/phil/src/ror/familyconnection-1.0/script/../config/..

This error occured while loading the following files:

login_system.rb
user.rb
RMagick

Does the setup HAVE to have RMagick? It looks like a pain to install . .

Thanks,

Phil.

yes>sudo gem install RMagick
