<h1>Congratulations, you're on Rails!</h1>
<p>
<i>You've succesfully configured your web server to point at this Rails application.</i>
</p>
<p>Before you move on, verify that the following conditions have been met:</p>
<ol>
<li>The log directory and the empty log files must be writable to the web server (<code>chmod -R 777 log</code>).
<li>
The shebang line in the public/dispatch* files must reference your Ruby installation. <br/>
You might need to change it to <code>#!/usr/bin/env ruby</code> or point directly at the installation.
</li>
<li>
Rails on Apache needs to have the cgi handler and mod_rewrite enabled. <br/>
Somewhere in your httpd.conf, you should have:<br/>
<code>AddHandler cgi-script .cgi</code><br/>
<code>LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/httpd/mod_rewrite.so</code><br/>
<code>AddModule mod_rewrite.c</code>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Take the following steps to get started:</p>
<ol>
<li>Create empty production and test databases for your application.<br/>
<small>Warning: Don't point your test database at your production database, it'll destroy the latter on test runs!</small>
<li>Edit config/database.yml with your database settings.
<li>Create a new controller using the <code>script/new_controller</code> generator <br/>
<small>Help: Run with no arguments for documentation</small>
<li>Create a new model using the <code>script/new_model</code> generator <br/>
<small>Help: Run with no arguments for documentation</small>
<li>See all the tests run and fail by running <code>rake</code>.
<li>Develop your Rails application!
<li>Setup FastCGI or mod_ruby to get production-level performance
</ol>
<p>
Having problems getting up and running? First try debugging it yourself by looking at the log files. <br/> Then try the friendly Rails
community on IRC (<a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/show/IRC">howto IRC</a>). It's on FreeNode, in channel
<a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/#rubyonrails">#rubyonrails</a>.
