Radiant CMS is an elegant, lightweight content management system built upon the popular Ruby on Rails framework and serves eg. the [http://www.ruby-lang.org Ruby Programming Language website] itself.
For more information on Radiant, please visit the [http://radiantcms.org Radiant website].
==Getting Radiant==
The easiest and recommended way of getting Radiant CMS is via RubyGems.
jruby -S gem install radiant
==Bootstrapping==
In your projects directory issue an application generator command. In this example I'll use the jdbcmysql adapter and my application name will be radiantblog.
jruby -S radiant --database=mysql radiantblog
To set up the database connections edit radiantblog/config/database.yml and create the database as well.
production:
adapter: jdbcmysql
database: radiantblog_production
username: usr
password: passwd
host: localhost
You can omit to set up other database configurations for now and correct it later.
jruby -S rake production db:bootstrap
The bootstrap task will populate your database and set up a basic administration and page system based on your answers to the setup questions in the terminal. To start your application issue the familiar Rails command.
jruby script/server -e production
Fire up your browser and play around a little with your new CMS - [http://localhost:3000]
==Deployment==
My first deployment was under a Tomcat 6 with the [[Warbler]] gem.
jruby -S warble config
My minimal config file is as follows.
Warbler::Config.new do |config|
config.dirs = %w(cache config db log vendor tmp)
config.gems += ["activerecord-jdbcmysql-adapter", "radiant"]
config.gem_dependencies = true
config.war_name = "ROOT"
end
I set the war name to ROOT to avoid the problems with the default Radiant routing and assets including.
jruby -S warble:war
Deploy your generated war file under Tomcat's webapps folder, start the server and check http://localhost:8080 for your CMS.
