This is the sample application for Ruby on Rails Tutorial: Learn Rails by Example by Michael Hartl.
This sample has been modified to run on Cloud Foundry. The cf-autoconfig gem was added to enable auto-configuration of database connections as described in the Cloud Foundry documentation. The pg gem was also added to support connection to PostgreSQL database.
After installing in the 'cf' command-line interface for Cloud Foundry, targeting a Cloud Foundry instance, and logging in, the application can be pushed using these commands:
First, view a list of services and plans available in your Cloud Foundry instance:
$ cf marketplace

The application will be pushed using settings in the provided manifest.yml file. The --random-route option adds random
words in the host to make sure the URL for the app is unique in the Cloud Foundry environment. The output of the
cf push command shows the URL that was assigned. Using the provided URL you can browse to the running application.
