Hi- We just finished our app and I tested for performance with httperf. Our setup is browser -> apache2.2-> mod_poxy balancer-> mongrel cluster -> 3 mongrel servers.

We are on a old dell 2400 machine

Gang- 1. Is there anything in Ruby that handles the .properites files similar to the J2EE application servers. Or do I need to define all of the properties as constants? 2. Is there anyway I can load some of my classes (such as singletons) during the startup? I am looking for the startup classes that J2EE containers provide.

Gang- We are getting ready to launch our ROR application; the last item remaining is the deployment platform. For testing, we had used Apache + MOD_FastCGI. I am not that impressed with it; sometimes it has strange effects. For example, when we start the application, for about 5 minutes or so, the app is very unstable and it gets better over time. My questions is .. should I go with (1)

I am running apache with mod_fastcgi on Linux - I would like to run my app in production mode, but I could not. Following is what I have in my httpd.conf.

I have a table with the list of business name and address in it. It may contain 1 million rows. The users want to look up into this table based on the business name.

Any suggestion on how to handle the potential performance issue? How can i use a search

Hi, I''m very new to Rails and have a general question. What technique would you use to allow users who have a uniform set of data to create very un-uniform websites from that data? One set of data, many different website/output possibilities. It would have to go beyond CSS. I''m assuming there will potentially be some level of scripting involved for each template. The goal is

Hi, I have a AR model that I want to limit changes to be only via instance methods that I''ve added. How do I prevent my other sw from setting the instance''s attributes?

Hi, I''m wondering if there is a simple solution to call a method once per page request. I tried to place my call in a before_filter in ApplicationController but it''d called a second time if I use render_component from a view.
