similar to: Maintaining and securing the "Perfect Rails/Debian/Lighttpd Stack"

Hi folks, I''m a linux noob, and I''m trying to pick a distro for my rails server. I don''t want to start a flame-war about linux distros! I''m interested in the best distribution for these criteria: 1 - Simplicity of getting ruby and rails set-up (gem updates) 2 - Stability (it is a server, after all) 3 - Support resources (community, and as a fall-back, paid

In case this helps anyone I recently finished setting up a Debian server closely following Ezra''s excellent guidance @ http://brainspl.at/rails_stack.html. I used newer libraries in some cases (and mysql 5.0) and everything worked great until the end when lighttpd wouldn''t start. I finally figured out that Lighty 1.4.9 has a problem working with rails out-of-the-box. See

Hi, Love Rails... I''m looking for a Production Quality Server that brings the same ease of use as Rails does to web development. I''ve tried TextDrive, and never got it to work. I''m sure there are good reasons why it didn''t work but they are beyond me. I''ve contacted tech support there several times, and it seems that there are so many setups that

Hi, I''m completely new to all of this. Not even certain this is an appropriate forum for an installation question. I''m just about to plunk down some money to get a virtual server. In looking over the list of isp''s elsewhere on this site, goDaddy isn''t mentioned - probably because they don''t offer rails as a standard distribution. There are some

I am putting a rails stack on a debian linux box. Ezra did a great job with his tutorial <http://brainspl.at/rails_stack.html> What I am in doubt is what is recommended / common practise to install stuff which is not availble yet with apt-get (eg. ruby 1.8.4, postgresql 8.1, lighttpd). the options I played with (=> and the conclusion): compiling from source (get source straight from

I''m trying to get our app running on Lighty... I followed Ezra''s instructions: http://brainspl.at/pages/rails_stack... Currently the app runs fine with webrick, but with lighty I get 404 errors on everything. I found if I don''t edit the lighttpd.conf file to use absolute paths, it works fine. But this is not good for production because I need to run it with the -d

Hi , I have rails running on my development machine. I have installed mod_ruby and set up the httpd.conf file to add handlers for .rb files. But the speed I get is still slow compared to webrick which is blazingly fast. I have 2 questions 1. How do I determine if mod_ruby is loaded and is being used to run my ruby scripts ? 2. Which of these fcgi /mod_ruby is faster ? Thanks vivek --------------

It was a miserable failure for us. Your best bet is to run on Linux. > 1. Has anyone done any benchmarks with it? Is there any reason this > couldn''t be viable for production loads? (feel free to speculate if you > haven''t) When it finally worked, after two weeks of trial and error (and we can''t reproduce it again) it performs poorly under IIS. It looks

Greetings, Does anyone have experience with Rails VPS hosting? I''m basically looking for a hosting reseller option so I can have control of my clients domains and hosting. I''m looking for something easy to use; although I like learning it all, and am learning a lot, I am most definitely not a command line linux user type as of yet. The one that I''ve looked at

I''m fairly new to Ruby & Rails and I come from a stricly M$ background. I''m trying to move into the world of open source, but I don''t have a good roadmap. I''m starting to develop a Rails-based product and I want to have the option to distribute it to non-hosted customers. So I''ve said all that to say this... I want to learn how to setup linux and

Hi, I''ve just deployed a basic ecommerce site on textdrive.com. The application has been stress tested on our local development machines and appears to be running fine (no memory leaks). However, on textdrive the fcgi processes are being killed after just a few requests apparently because of cpu usage (The log says the processes exceeds 17% average cpu usage in the last few minutes)

I had no problems. It pretty much boils down to three steps: 1) Install Ruby via deb. 2) Install ruby gems using the instructions for installing ruby gems. 3) Install rails and everything else via gems. browse the following write-up: http://brainspl.at/rails_stack.html Follow the instructions for installing the Ruby deb, and a few others. (You can do it all in one line) Then follow the

Than my question is this? Now that I have switchtowerized and migrate enabled my app I can start down a new path if need be on a different OS as the base of the system. We have already tried CentOS and found it to have more issues than those mentioned about fedora and through it away faster than one could shake a stick at. Here are our requirements for a stage/dev box and production:

Any plans for using Atom with rails. I saw the "Typo" project is using MoveableType, Blogger, ... but not Atom. It seems Atom is not part of ActionWebService. Has anyone done any work with Atom and Rails ? Thanks for your answers, Gaspard

Easy one: Let''s say I have a table called ''employees'' with a column called salaries, how can I add Employee.salaries_total to the model? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have been trying to get Lighttpd working.... we have been using webrick, but want to move to a production quality web server. I followed the instructions found here : http://brainspl.at/pages/rails_stack We are developing on windows and deploying to Fedora Linux. We''re using rails 1.0. The build actually happens on the windows box and using ant transfers the code to the Linux box.

Anyone got a quick code snippet I can add to my crontab? Since Rails doesn''t do any housekeeping, my /tmp directory just keeps getting fatter and fatter. I found this useless snippet in the Agile book: find /tmp/ -name ''ruby_sess*'' -ctime +12h -delete Fedora Linux complains about the ''h'' in 12h, then if you remove the ''h'' he

Hello, I am attempting to create several plots based on "site" (~300 total) and am having trouble with the code. I simply want to create a plot using the code, plot(year, peak), for the following dataset. I would like for each site to be plotted on a separate page and the plots saved in a directory. Would a "foreach" loop work? I tried a "by" statement, but

Say your app responds to : store/show/3 and caching is enable at the store controller level. A route says : map.connect ''store/:action/:id'', :controller => ''store'' All the following urls will be processed and cached (the cache filling with ''page not found'' messages) ! store/foo/bar store/show/090934298234897342
