Is there a PHPish way of doing webpages with Ruby?

Question

Is there a framework or something out there so that I can develop webpages in Ruby the same way I can as PHP. Something like

Answer 1

You can, with https://github.com/migrs/rack-server-pages

Instruction at that page.

Summarizing:

• gem install rack-server-pages

• Create config.ru in the root folder of your "application":

  require 'rack-server-pages' run Rack::ServerPages

• Create public/index.erb:

  Hello rack!

  <%= Time.now %>

• execute rackup, your Ruby powered pages are ready to be served.

• It also works with other application servers, for example, for passenger standalone, you just need to go to that folder and run passenger start.
