FAQ
No. But we hope to support it in the future.
JRuby's select is buggy. Theres an open ticket on their issue tracker.
The issue was originally reported on #14.
Only OSX 10.6+ is officially supported.
However there are some attempts to get Pow running on Linux. The dns resolver and firewall rules are specific features of OSX. But the core server only depends on node. With the combination of dnsmasq and some iptable rules you might be able to get it up and running.
Check this fork: https://github.com/ysbaddaden/pow
Yes, but the installer only includes a node binary only for 64-bit machines. You'll need to install Pow from source.
Add this:
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/config/environment'
run ActionController::Dispatcher.new
First clone the git repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/37signals/pow.git
Install via npm (you'll need version 1.0 or higher):
$ cd pow
$ npm install --global
Yes, if Rack support is configured using the rack-legacy gem. Instructions can be found in this blog post.
Pow and Apache can be configured to run side-by-side. You can find instructions on the Running-Pow-with-Apache wiki page.
Pow is intended for development use only, but if you just want to test how your app behaves with the settings for your different environments (e.g. production), you can run the following from your app directory.
echo export RAILS_ENV=production > .powenv && touch tmp/restart.txt
Yes!
echo 'export POW_RVM_PATH=/usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm' >> ~/.powconfig
Then restart POW by killing it in the Activity Monitor or in the Terminal.
