Hi there, I am working in a RoR application which allows certain users to upload files. Currently I store these files in a directory called "files". This directory is located in the RoR application directory: rails/rails_application/files So users don''t have access to them. Now I want users to be able to download some of these files (they will search based on some

The lighttpd config file is set up like this... Rails url: //host/controller/method/id Lighttpd tries to open the file ''controller/method/id'' from the document root. Of course this doesn''t work and generates an error 404 This gets caught with: server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi" Which turns the request into "/dispatch.fcgi" That gets caught

Hey guys, I often get this problem the first time I try to deploy a rails app on dreamhost and I''m not sure what the cause is. Basically, I have an app that''s running fine on my local machine. I''ve uploaded the app, configured and migrated to the latest version of the db, and set all of the necessary directories to 755. But when I run dispatch.rb in ssh or

I''ve had a right fun few days at work trying to figure out why our Rails app (which isn''t under very heavy load) kept eating memory and bringing our server to our knees. Eventually I traced it to send_file (which was in a way a relief as it wasn''t down to my coding ;) -- every time a user started downloading, the memory consumed by the app would jump, and

I am running a RoR application on Apache 1.3/RedHat 7.3/MySQL 3.1.23 (Old versions I know, but upgrading to latest versions are not practical for a number of reasons). There are 5 RoR FastCGI processes configured using FastCgiServer. What I am finding is that, after a while, some of the FastCGI processes seem to ''hang''. They no longer process requests, and the only way to

To make file_column work I have to copy my local variable back to an instance variables like this: <% for product in @products @product = product %> <div class="catalogentry"> <%= image_tag url_for_file_column(''product'', ''image_url'') %></p> This is needed because file_column specifically looks for the instance

Hi, So thanks to Zed I was able to get lighty/scgi and a Rails app running. I know this might not be the best place to post this, but I guessed there may be several others with similar experiences here. So, the following step is to have several apps each in its on subdirectory. I tried the following to no avail: $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/tango/" { server.document-root =

Hi, I''ve been using send_file in my Rails application with WEBrick happily to send files of various sizes and kinds. The same code fails to send anything but a 500 error when run under Apache, and a log file message "warning: syswrite for buffered IO". Looking back through the mailing list archives I see that there have been send_file bugs in the past. Can some knowledgeable

Hi, Any advice/comments on the potential for hosting some personal Ruby applications from home? (i.e. for learning, sharing with friends etc) Would the basic concept be: * Need to buy a static IP address from you ISP * By a domain name and point it to the static IP address * Run Apache as the front end web server - Q: What basic lockdown/security steps should one take? * Perform a PORT

Hi, I''m trying to serve the iPhone a video file from my controller using send_file. However, it appears as thought the iPhone requires byte- range request support and rails doesn''t seem to support this. If I give the iPhone a url that points to an actual file (i.e. it''s served by my webserver nginx, instead of rails) it downloads and plays it fine. Here is the proof

Hello, I''m working on a download service which grants users a one-time-download access to files. The idea is to write an entry to a database table after a successful download that "locks" the download link for the user. After doing some quick tests with send_file I noticed that send_file does not block until the user has downloaded the full file, but proceeds with the

I currently have a dedicated server at ev1servers, but it''s getting rather antiquated (Redhat 9) and am looking to upgrade. I''m thinking about serverbeach.com - one of their CentOS servers. Anybody have any recommendations for dedicated servers on which to run Rails? Hopefully less than $200/month. Thanks! CSN __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

forgive me if this has been resolved already... I have an app that is using sendfile to return large files to customers. We can''t use regular Apache to handle this static content since the files are what the customers are paying for - so it wouldn''t be cool for anyone else to get access to them. The issue is that the mongrel mem footprint gets bloated when the files are

If I were to serve files, would send_file via rails be slow? I think they will be 200mb avi files. Would it be better to send them via /public ? But I would like to track the clicks on each file - which makes me think that I can''t serve them out on /public as those clicks will not go through my application. Any help or suggestions? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
