# - Updated to not install pg (6/14)
#
#
# This script installs everything needed to run a Ruby on Rails application on
# Nginx (with Passenger) and PostgreSQL on CentOS 5.4 and 5.5. init.d scripts are installed
# for Ngnix and PostgreSQL as well. Git and Bundler are also installed as many
# applications use Bundler for gem dependencies and git is often used in Gemfiles.
# ImageMagick is also installed. Port 80 and 443 are also opened in IPTables.
#
# The install takes about 20 minutes on average.
#
# All of the versions are the latest as of 05/25/2010 (with the exception of Nginx due
# to an incompatibility with Passenger). The lastest patch level for Ruby 1.8.7 is used.
# This is due to some applications having incompatibilities with Ruby 1.9.1.
#
# To easily add a new virtual host, add a file with `.conf` as its extension to
# `/usr/local/nginx/conf/virtual_hosts/`.
#
# Example virtual host: http://gist.github.com/314883#file_example.conf
#
# To run this script, simply run the following commands as root:
# $ wget http://gist.github.com/raw/314865/new_server.sh
# $ chmod +x new_server.sh
# $ ./new_server.sh
#
# You will need to press "y" and enter twice when yum prompts you to install updates and 
# necessary packages at the beginning. You can leave it and let it do its thing after that.
#

set -e
# Note: changing prefix doesn't quite work due to my lack of shell scripting knowledge,
# so don't change it :)

# This script is more specific to my needs. I run it after new_server.sh.
# To get the pg gem to install, I generally have to restart my shell so
# the path to pg_config works.

# Merged into new_server.sh (KB 6/14)

yum install sqlite-devel
gem install pg --no-ri --no-rdoc

We need to get you setup w/ Fabric or Capistrano :)
