Hello! First, thank you Julian for the useful plugin ''unicode_hacks'' < http://julik.textdriven.com/svn/tools/rails_plugins/unicode_hacks/>. I have found some problems running my app in development on Webrick and looking at it with Safari (MacOS X 10.4.3, Safari 2.0.2).

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

There must be a better way to write this code: @project_pages, @projects= paginate :project, :per_page => 10, :conditions => ["account_id = ?", account] ?! If only I could pass the sub-collection account = ... @projects = account.project to paginate, instead of letting it extract it with a find :all + sql conditions Alain. -- Posted via

Hi ! Following Ezra's suggestions on http://brainspl.at/pages/perfect_vps, I changed the port sshd listens to. I'm trying to setup SwitchTower, and I don't know how to set the port. Where should that be configured ? I can't see anything in switchtower.rake, nor can I see it in the source. If this already exists, can anybody point me to documentation. If not, can I get any

Hi Railers, For some time now I''ve been looking for a decent Rails equivalent of PHP''s "htmlentities" command, because ERB''s html_escape (or more commonly called as just "h", eg. <%=h @somevariable %> ) just doesn''t go far enough for me. Back in PHP land, I actually had an extended version of the htmlentities command to deal with

I wonder if it is possible to set up an encrypted "file container" on a CentOS VPS? I am the root user of the VPS but the hosting company also has access to the VPS and thus all files. Is it possible to create a LUKS-container on the VPS and those files only be accessible by me? IOW, most of the file system on the VPS would be regular file system but the container could be used by me as

I just got an inexpensive VPS too have an outside server to play/test with. I am pinging it every 5 minutes and graphing with MRTG on another CentOS box. This works fine to all servers but the VPS.

Hey all, I'm trying to learn how to use some of the big data stores. Specifically I want to learn how to use CassandraDB and Hadoop. Originally I'd had the idea of trying to setup a cassandra ring on the Amazon AWS free tier. However it seems that neither will run on a t2.micro instance. So I was wondering.. what are some really cheap VPS services that you like to use for one off

Hi all, A client just phoned me and said he could not SSH into his VPS, yet he can ping it. So, I login to the host node, and check it out, can''t SSH into. I shutdown iptables on the VPS (via xm console serverza.vm) but still can''t SSH into it. I restart the VPS, still can''t SSH into it.

I have a VPS account with 256MB guaranteed RAM. I am running it as Apache1.3 -> Pen -> mongrel_cluster (with 2 mongrel servers). "top" shows 2 "ruby" instances (I guess for both of the mongrel servers), each weighing in at about 25MB. Does that sound about right? If you are using 2 mongrel servers per client app, does that mean that each RoR app needs 50MB+

Hello, I just installed dovecot and postfix on a Fedora Core VPS. The VPS will not allow me to ssh directly as user "root" i.e.: I must first login as a non-root user and then "su" into root. My question is: is there a way to read my root mail through Dovecot ? How should I setup the Thunderbird account ? Thank you... SJ

I am new to Linux so I do not have any special preferences. Yes I have a root access and the VPS is un managed. I am newbie to the Linux world. I will have a new website or maybe 3. I've found that un managed costs vary a lot, as I've found various ways for settings ... some using Xen, others using OpenVZ, and other using Virtuozzo and I found that it all vary regarding Ram allocations
