Erwin: We found it''s not worth the time to do this. It won''t work reliably. You''re in for a world of hurt. We''ve given up on the idea after several months of trying (and some great feedback from this list). There are some on this list who claim to have gotten it to work, but that might just be luck. We''re now using Apache on a higher port, and using

it''s been a nightmare trying to set it up. I keep getting a an Application Error message when I try to navigate to a url which should be taken care of by my newly created controllers. For instance, I wanted to test RoR out so I created a MyTest controller which should allow me to navigate something like: http://localhost/rubytest/MyTest but it does not. I have no problem getting

I have no idea why this is happening but it seems like every method on my controller gets called twice. Here is what it looks like when I call a list using the scaffold code ========================== Processing DepartmentsController#index (for 127.0.0.1 at 2006-02-24 01:05:00) [GET] Parameters: {"action"=>"index", "controller"=>"departments"}

I just spent the last two days trying to get Rails on IIS to work with Windows 2003/IIS 6.0. I think I''ve finally got it working, but it took more googling than I care to describe. Now I''ve got a few questions: 1) Is there some ''official'' Rails on IIS guide on this site on another official ruby site that''s known to work well? 2) If not, can someone

Sorry if this is a complete newbish question, but I''m trying to wrap my head around creating custom classes in my rails webapp. I''m normally a Java developer, but I figured I''d give RoR a try and see how I like it, and whether it would be useful for production use with a new client. Anyways, what are the best practices for custom classes? Where and/or how do I create

I''m thinking about signing up with DreamHost for the base Level 1 $9.95 plan. Does anyone think that''s a bad idea? I''d like to know others thoughts, and who they recommend for RoR hosting? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

In my daily development, I migrate back and forth between versions, and often do: rake load_fixtures... ... in order to populate my development database with fun data. Now, with any HABTM relationship, there are failures, as there is no way to say "which" fixtures to load first. Within an actual functional or unit test case, you could simply load them in the proper order, but

I''m just looking into how to connect to Oracle using Rails. I''ve got everything connecting and working as it should. I have a Users table in Oracle: create_table "users", :force => true do |t| t.column "username", :string t.column "created_on", :datetime t.column "email", :string t.column "note", :text

Can someone explain why form helpers appear to bypass any model methods I override for fields that are bound to database fields? It would be great if someone could tell me how to force the form field, etc to call the method instead of looking at the database / attributes collection. Let''s say I have a column called ''price'' in my database table "books"

Is there a place I can get a list of "enterprise" Rails applications? Apparently, even though I''ve looked at the wiki and cited the examples there, there are some at my organization who still can''t find proof that Rails is usable in an enterprise setting. Would you fine folks be able to tell me about some large-scale projects that could be classified as

Hi fellow railers! We are discussing the possibility of writing a very large application in Rails. By "very large" I mean a framework that would contain a few hundred smaller applications that would need to talk to one big database and have to share some common session data I''d like to get some feedback on some possible ways of doing the following: The application would

All, When I generate scaffolding on my model, it doesn''t display all the fields in the create and edit views. It populates the views with text/char and date types, but omits any integer fields. Is this normal behavior or a bug? Thanks! -Nick

I''m trying to decide which IDE to go with for RoR development. I put a high premium on integrated test automated tools and debugging capabilities. I''d appreciate any sharing of experience. I''m currently running Instant Rails on a Windows 2000 box (using IR due to problems I encountered trying to get all the components set up individually). Also, I''m using

I don''t think there''s a way to do that other than using a proxy (ISAPI_REWRITE) or just a server-side redirect. I''d love to be proven wrong though. -----Original Message----- From: rails-bounces@lists.rubyonrails.org [mailto:rails-bounces@lists.rubyonrails.org] On Behalf Of frazer horn Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 9:13 AM To: rails@lists.rubyonrails.org Subject:

Will, You might also look at Qemu (will have to google it, since I don''t have the URL at the moment). I have used successfully on Windows and Fedora to offer virtual machines for free, which I prefer over paying for VMWare. Drop me a line if you want more details.

We are looking for a FastCGI protocol compliant RoR executable that can be used to host RoR in FastCGI mode. However, neither Ruby.exe nor Rubyw.exe appear to work with the FastCGI protocol (http://www.fastcgi.com/devkit/doc/fcgi-spec.html). Perhaps we are missing specific command line switches, or environment variables necessary to make this work. Any information much appreciated. Thanks,

Hey Has anyone got a graphics server running alongside ruby on rails? Kind of new to graphics rendering on a web server, so some general tips on a successful direction to go in would be great.

I''m working on a photo gallery and I''m using File_column to handle the uploads of the files and create my thumbnails, but does anyone here have any idea how to have a watermark (opaque text maybe) placed over one of the versions? Any ideas on how to go about this would be great. Even if it''s just straight RMagick code, that would be fine too. Thanks in advance for the
