Tracks::GTD who's using it?
wwalker | Jan 24 2006
I came to read this forum to get ideas before starting a Ruby on Rails (a web development system) project to do 43 folders. I found in nearly the last post I read a reference to Tracks::GTD (http://www.rousette.org.uk/projects/). Being a Ruby on Rails app, you can just install Ruby, then Rails on your computer (Windows, Linux, OSX...) and in a few minutes have Tracks running. It looks good to me so far. Who else is using it? any comments or pointers? Wayne 46 Comments

I have gotten the tracks database setup with the content.sql data. Now I am trying to get apache to recognize the install. WEBrick is the web server which is integrated with RoR. If you are going to be accessing Tracks from the machine on which it is installed, (e.g. I have it installed on a laptop which I carry with me), as opposed to trying to access it from another machine via the Internet, then you do not have to do anything with Apache. Basically, the steps are: 1) Install the prerequisite software, i.e. Ruby, Rails (probably via Gems), and a database (likely MySQL or SQLite) 2) Configure the database server and add the data definitions 3) Modify the Tracks config files to reflect the database access information, e.g. cp database.yml.tmpl database.yml and then edit it to reflect the information you configured in step 2 (username, password) 4) Do the same for the settings.yml file to modify your date format preferences, and set your email address. 5) Start Tracks and see what flies: 5) Access your installation via the installed WEBrick server, e.g. type the following URL into your web browser: http://127.0.0.1:3000/signup">http://localhost:3000/signup[/url] or [url]http://127.0.0.1:3000/signup to add the initial admin user (you). On return trips, you can go to http://localhost:3000/login to get back in. If you've done all of this, and it still doesn't work, then it would be handy to know your distro, how you installed Ruby, Ruby on Rails, etc. Which database software? And any errors. » POSTED IN:
