Installing Rails FtP on Fedora 20 64 bit

Special instructions for installing Rails on a blank Fedora 20

Notes on MariaDB 10.01

The instructions below need to be modified slightly for MariaDB 10.01.

• When creating the database, rather than CHARACTER_SET="utf8" COLLATE="utf8_general_ci", use CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci
• When creating the rails user, specify the host explicitly in the password: set password for rails@localhost = PASSWORD('rails'); (You may also need to set the password for rails as well.)**

cd /home/fromthepage
#get the code
git clone "git://github.com/benwbrum/fromthepage.git"
