Ruby on Rails is a free web application framework for the Ruby programming language. It is often referred to as 'Rails' or 'RoR'. It is intended to be used with the Agile development methodology, which is often used by web developers for its suitability for short, client-driven projects.
Ruby on Rails features several tools intended to make commonplace development tasks easier and 'out of the box'. Rails provides scaffolding which can automatically construct some of the models and views needed for a basic website. A simple Ruby web server and Rake build system are also included. By including these common tools with the Rails system, a basic development environment is in effect provided with all versions of the software. Rails is also noteworthy for its extensive use of the JavaScript libraries Prototype and Script.aculo.us for Ajax.
We support RoR with our Professional, Ultimate, Business and Reseller packages. The following versions are working on our servers: Ruby – 1.8.7, Rails – 2.3.18. You can set up your environment for your Ruby on Rails application in cPanel in the following way:
