0. Planning

Prepare a separate domain name GTD.dbanotes.net. Install related files in the gtd.dbanotes.net directory under the user directory.

1. Prepare the environment

Tracks was developed using Ruby On Rails. Fortunately, Dreamhost now has built-in support for Ruby On Rails. This item requires almost no additional operations.

Then confirm the database information. Create a separate MySQL user and record the Database Host Name and other information.

2. install and configure
Download the installation file from the Tracks website. The current stable version is 1.041. Decompress all the files to the gtd.dbanotes.net directory. The installation instructions are also in great detail and need to be carefully read. Perform the following operations by referring to the document.

cp config/database.yml.tmpl config/database.ymlcp config/environment.rb.tmpl config/environment.rb 

Rename log. tmpl as log. Edit the tracks/config/database. yml file and fill in the required information for the 'production 'and 'development' sections. Do not modify the 'test' segment.

Edit config/environment. rb and find change-me and change it to another one. This field is the "salt" used to encrypt the password. By default, the problem is not very serious.

Run the following command in the gtd.dbanotes.net directory:

rake migrate

If this operation is correct, Tracks can run.

If necessary, modify the URL of the. htaccess file under the installation directory or public directory.Rewrite.

For the sake of security, set the directory file attribute except the public directory to 700.

Refer to my GTD.

3. Postscript
Tracks is built into the WEBrick Web server. If your machine supports Ruby, you can run it on a local Windows or Linux or Mac OS.X and other operating systems. In this way, the user experience will be better (the speed I set up on Dreamhost is somewhat slow ).

Updated: view the Tracks effect. If you need to test the user please send me an email: dbanotes@gmail.com.
