教学视频：See our Presentation from Acts As Conference 2009 to see some of the insight into how BrowserCMS works.
Getting Started
The purpose of this guide is help new developers get up and running with BrowserCMS. It covers how to:
- Install the BrowserCMS gem
- Create a demo project to explore BrowserCMS
- Create a blank project for building a website from scratch
This guide is valid for BrowserCMS 3.3. See Getting Started: 3.1 for an older guide.
This Guide Assumes
Before you can create a project using BrowserCMS, you will need to have the following installed.
- The Ruby Language (Version 1.9.2 or later)
- The Rails framework (For gem versions of browsercms use 3.0.×. Rails 3.1 works in the master branch)
- A working installation of SQLite or MySQL as well as the gems for your database of choice.
Starting a demo project
This section of the guide will cover creating a sample website with BrowserCMS, using a demo website layout and content.
The goal is to give you some content and templates to play with to explore the CMS. Later sections of this guide will
cover the more common cases where you are creating a new website from scratch and want only the bare minimums.
Installing BrowserCMS
BrowserCMS is packaged as a gem which can be included in any Rails project. To install the gem, do the following:
$ gem install browsercmsCreating a Demo Website
Run the following from your terminal window.
$ bcms demo project_name
$ cd project_name
$ rake db:install
$ rails server
This will create a BrowserCMS project which used SQLite as the data storage. You need to have the sqlite3-ruby gem installed for this to work.
Using your Site
Open your browser to http://localhost:3000/cms to log into the admin for the CMS. Enter the default username/password (in development mode) is username=cmsadmin, password=cmsadmin. You should be now be logged in, viewing the home page of the site. You can now edit or add new content via the admin interface.
To learn more about the types of things you can do with BrowserCMS, see the User's Manual.
Starting a ‘Real’ project
Demo sites are fine for learning the ropes, but when its time to start working on a ‘real’ project, you don’t want a lot
of dummy data that needs to be cleaned out. To start a typical, ‘blank’ project, you can run the following command. Here
we will specify the -d flag, which will use MySQL as the database.
Run the following:
$ bcms new project_name -d mysql
$ cd project_name
$ rake db:install
$ rails server
You need to have the mysql gem installed for this to work. This is going to create the development and testing copies of
the database, migrate the db, populate it with the bare minimum content it needs, and copy all of the necessary files
from the gem into the rails project. Open your browser to http://localhost:3000/cms to log in,
using cmsadmin/cmsadmin as the username/password.
Alternative command
There is a longer version of the command line script, which works identically to the shorter form detailed above.
$ browsercms new project_name -d mysqlNo difference in functionality, just slighly more to type.
Getting Command line Help
You can get assistance from the commandline tool by running the bcms command with no arguments, like so:
$ bcms
This will show common usages, as well as all the help options available. The browsercms command piggybacks on top of the
rails command, so many of the options available are the same as rails, including -f or —force.
Trouble Shooting
This section covers some potential problems you might run into when trying to create a BrowserCMS project.
Creation fails to create MySQL Database
BrowserCMS will attempt to create and populate the database when you invoke rake db:install. When running against mysql, Rails will assume you have a username called root with an empty password. The database create/migrations will fail if you don’t have that username/password set. If this occurs, you can update the config/database.yml with correct username/password before your runrake db:install
Deploying to Production
Once you get ready to start deploying your application into production environments, be sure to review the Deployment Guide. There are several ‘gotchas’ to be aware of that may differ from deploying other Rails applications.
