refinery_cms is not bad. I have been using it for my personal website(siwei.me, aka shensiwei.com), its default database is sqlite3. this guide will show you how to install it under mysql.
step1. $ gem install refinery cms (following it official guide)
step1.1 $ gem install sass-rails -v 3.2.3
setp1.2 $ apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
step 1.9 $ refinerycms yangqigong (using the default settings)
step2. $ vim Gemfile , config/database.yml, using mysql content. e.g.
# Gemfile: gem 'rails', '3.2.15' gem 'mysql2', '0.2.6' # database.yml development: adapter: mysql2 encoding: utf8 reconnect: false database: yangqigong_development #database: yangqigong_development_two pool: 5 username: root password: "" host: localhost
Step3. $ bundle install && bundle exec rake db:create && bundle exec rake db:migrate
it's done. run 'bundle exec rails s' will start your application.
