Using lighttpd + fcgi to power a site. When no one has accessed it in a while, the first visit to the page takes a while to load up. Then subsequent visits are fairly fast. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I''m running into the need (on at least one project now) to implement end-user-customizable "metadata" or properties on model objects. The standard example would be a Person class that had first_name, last_name, etc. but would need to be extended real-time (through the web admin interface) with properties such as phone_number : varchar (30). I''ve done some basic

This isn''t Rails or Ruby related, but I just need some advice and thought I''d ask the bright individuals here. I want to start my own blog but I''m not sure where to begin. I don''t want to get a blogger account because I want to have my own domain. Blogger also doesn''t have many features. My hosting service is 1AND1 so it supports php, cgi and mysql.

Greetings, I am working on extending a new part of our site to use Ruby on Rails, and have several portions of the site that is included in external files. The rest of the site is built on top of MovableType and uses PHP Includes to reference the external files. Is there similar functionality in Ruby or Rails that I can use so I don''t have to update excess content in two

Is there any reason to avoid using postgresql for small web apps? That is, is it''s overhead so large that the lighter MySQL will work substantially better for small apps on small machines? Or are they very similar in performance and configuration? I''ve used MySQL but postgresql has its appeals and I''m wondering if I need to keep MySQL around at all. On the other

Is there support yet for adding something to a list in sorted order? For example, you have a form to add a new item and you want the new item to be inserted in the list in the proper order. I''ve noticed the :position option in the form_remote_tag but it doesn''t seem like you can use it to keep things in sorted order. Rod Schmidt http://rodschmidt.blogspot.com "Do or

Hey all, In my code, it seems that when I divide two integers, the result is an integer. Is there any way to make it such that when I divide two integers, the result is a double?

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to maintain database reflection for the ''new'' and ''edit'' views whilst removing scaffolding? I''m trying to create a webapp that will be somewhat maintainable by colleagues (that aren''t necessarily web developers) through simple manipulation of db table fields. For example to add another field to the

I need to insert ~100k rows into the database, but using "Table.new(...).save" is painfully slow (I notice in the logs that it''s wrapping each insert in a transaction -- that can''t be fast). Any suggestions on how I can improve the speed of bulk inserts like this? Thanks ... -- Steve

I''ve just had a problem with fastcgi killing processes off while they were running (I have a long-running background process)... but it took me a while to track it down and pinpoint that fastcgi was asking the process to quit. So i was thinking if it would be a good idea to tweak the way ruby-fastcgi handles this. At the moment, in fcgi.rb (part of the fcgi gem) there is

Hi All, Just about to set up RoR on our server and was wondering what the ideal setup for RoR is these days? Apache 1? Apache 2? fCgi? Any guidance would be helpful! Thanks, -Adam
