Congratulations, you're on Rails!

You've succesfully configured your web-server to point at this Rails application.

Before you move on, verify that the following conditions have been meet:

1. The log directory and the empty log files must be writteable to the web server (chmod -R 777 log).
2. The shebang line in the public/dispatch* files must reference your Ruby installation.
   You might need to change it to #!/usr/bin/env ruby or point directly at the installation.
3. Rails on Apache needs to have the cgi handler enabled.
   Somewhere in your httpd.conf, you should have AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

Take the following steps to get started:

1. Create empty production and test databases for your application.
2. Edit config/database.yml with your database settings.
3. Create a new controller using the script/new_controller generator
   (run with no arguments for documentation).
4. Create a new model using the script/new_model generator
   (run with no arguments for documentation).
5. See all the tests run and the app documentation be created by running rake.
6. Develop your Rails application!
7. Setup FastCGI or mod_ruby to get production-level performance

Having problems getting up and running? First try debugging it yourself by looking at the log files.
Then try the friendly Rails community on IRC (howto IRC). It's on FreeNET in channel #rubyonrails.
