I've posted on this not long ago, but I've run more tests since. Here's my situation (all Linux host running Samba Version 4.18.9) ... I have a Linux Domain Member, NAS, sharing a directory /public.

I''m new to RoR and trying to make a HABTM relationship work. I have no problems with displaying the fields (after I pumped the data into MySQL manually outside of RoR), but when I try to edit a record, it =does= save the changes in the primary record, but =not= the join table.

Sorry for asking this but I am keen to get on and build an app based on RoR and have had a look around at FAQa and the like with no immediate sucess. What I am looking for is an explainantion of the rules/requirements for table/index/coulumn names with RoR. RoR appears to have a set of expected naming conventions which it would appear you can over ride but it would seems a hell of a lot

I am just getting off the ground with RoR. (actually just walking out to the runway) I want to setup a development / test environment as close to the production environment as possible except for OS (Win XP for Dev, Linux for Prod). I have Apache, MySQL, PhP installed and operating close enough to the production environment that all the PhP stuff I''ve done in the past seems to work

Greetings to all, I''ve had two reports of strange behavior from MySQL-Front this week from folks new to RoR who are working through the IR tutorial. I''m digging into it and would very much appreciate hearing from anyone else that''s seeing this.

Hi team, I''m a very newbie RoR user from Spain and I''m developing a blog''s CMS. Why RoR?, coz I think it''s an amazing framework with many posibilities, portable and really powerful, with a young and optimist community, and taking my project I''ve prefered his structure in front of LAMP. Another thing is that I''ve liked to surprise my masters

Hi! I just ran the first few Rails tutorials and I''m really impressed at how quickly I was able to get something up and running. I''m slowly emerging from the stone ages, and leaving my powerbuilder behind ? yes, I know, keep the snickering to a minimum please! I started into J2EE/STRUTS, but was quickly frustrated by how long it would take to code anything but relatively

Hi, Just thinking about migrating from Shoutcast..... I have a question on how to make Icecast behave as I have Shoutcast running, and provide "on demand" streaming via my web server.
