I'd like to set up a test environment that matches my bluehost configuration as closely as possible on my home windows machine. I've got Apache, PHP, and MySQL all set up and they seem to behave in the same way as bluehost. Now, what about RoR?
What version of Ruby?
What version of Rails?
If I go through the RoR setup procedure found at http://www.rubyonrails.org/down. It uses Ruby 1.8.2. Is this close enough?
Alternatively I could use the one click download discussed at http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl which includes Ruby 1.8.4 but I'm concerned about the missing items they list:
* XMLParser: This C-based XML parser (which is an interface to the Expat parser) is not included (REXML, the pure Ruby XML parser, *is* included).
* If you leave "Enable RubyGems" selected, the RUBYOPT environment variable is set to "rubygem" instead of having "rubygems" added to the RUBYOPT value (similarly, uninstalling, deletes the RUBYOPT env. variable).
Thanks in advance!
