Progress
1 - Start Instant rails application, just run the executable.



2) From the rails application window, open a rails console window



3) Run the rails command to create a new application. Created a new application called taxibooking.

4) Windows representation of the directory structure created



5) Start the application using the default instant rails web server, Mongrel to see
things are working up to this point



6) Type taxibooking application web address,

• http://localhost:3000/

6.1) The server can be stopped at this stage or once more work as been completed
it can be restarted.


7) Navigate to DB folder within the application, define the database name parameters
for SQLite3, this is only required if you want to change the default name provided by
SQLite3.



8) Run the ruby generate migration command to generate the database migration.
This will create a ruby file in directory migrate.

• ruby script/generate migration AddPassengersTable

9) Edit the migration file and define the passengers table structure.
(I have defined the table structure as per workshop 3 for ITC382 subject)



10) Run command to generate the table

• rake db:migrate

10.1) Enter data to the table via SQLite3,



11) Run command to generate controller

• ruby script/generate controller Passengers

12) Create an index.html file to be displayed when the passengers action is requested




13) Started Mongrel server again. If the server was not stopped earlier, stop and start is required at this point.

• http://localhost:3000/passengers
