This example shows how to implement a business process on top of OpenWFEru and ruote-web (ex “Densha”). OpenWFEru depends on Ruby, while ruote-web depends on Ruby on Rails.
There are extensive instructions on how to get Ruby and Ruby on Rails on the website of the later : Get Ruby on Rails in no time
The latest Rails 2.0.x should be OK for running “ruote-web”.
There is a packaged version of “ruote-web” (ex “densha”) : ruote-web-0.9.19pre0.zip
When unzipped, rename the top directory ‘ruote-web’ to ‘ttt’ :
mv ruote-web ttt
(these instructions are already detailed at the ruote-web quickstart, they are reproduced here but the application is renamed ‘ttt’).
This is a development application (for now), it will use a database named “ttt_development”. Let’s change ttt/config/database.yml to reflect that :
development: adapter: mysql database: ttt_development username: ttt password: ttt host: localhost encoding: utf8
(MySQL is used in this example, please refer to the Ruby on Rails documentation for more information on how to use another database)
Then create a “ttt” user in MySQL (via the ‘root’ user) :
mysql -u root -p -e \ "grant select,insert,update,delete,create,drop,index on ttt_development.* to 'ttt'@'localhost' identified by 'ttt'"
The database ‘ttt_development’ has to be created next :
mysql -u root -p -e "create database ttt_development CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci"
cd ttt/ rake db:migrate
Then test if the application is usable by launching it :
cd ttt/ ruby script/server
If everything went fine, you can now head to http://localhost:3000 and you should be greeted by the login screen.
You can login as “admin” (password “admin”) and look around a bit, to make sure the install was successful.
