similar to: offtopic: which one is faster: file or database?

Hi, I have a really dumb qustion, but I can''t find an answer in "Agile Rails" or any other hand holder. And, it is a difficult topic to search for in google.

Hi All - I notice that most of the Rails team are using Mac OS X and TextMate for Ruby development. I too am working on Mac OS X and trying TextMate and (shudder?) EMacs. I was wondering about version control. Are folks using Subversion? If so, are they using a graphical client? Which one do they recommend? Yours, Jordan -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

My background is Windows development using Visual Studio and I''m trying to get up to speed with Ruby on Rails, so please excuse these basic questions. I''ve downloaded InstantRails and can run the sample application - so Apache, MySQL, Ruby etc. are working. Where''s the "development environment"? Where do I go to edit files, create models and controllers

Hey everyone, Aplogies asking such an off topic question on this list, as I have no one else to really turn to. I plan to release a website very soon to the public. I am just one-man shop, and do not know much outside the realm of programming. I''ve taken care of the "business" aspect of things, but know nothing of the legal necessities of having a web business. Specifically,

Hi there, What are you using for text search engine in your rails applications ? I have been using simple search for simple applications, but then I need to search text in model instances inside collections such as user.documents and the like. I believe that simple search does not support any sort of ranged queries, and sql like might be overkill for tables with lots of records. Bests, Sergi

I''ve run into a problem on one of my development machines. I''m trying to run multiple rails apps on one dev machine that runs Windows. Problem is that is seems that I can only run one scgi_service at a time, meaning that only one of my apps will function at a time. Anyone know how I can get around this, other than getting a *nix box (which I should have soon, hopefully) ?

is there a way that, our application can understand wheteher the session id sent from the browser is forged or created by rails?

I installed Rails and Rubygems on a web server for a customer who wants to install a Ruby on Rails application that he developped. He needs SSH access to interact with Ruby, so I''ll have to grant him access, but I want him to only play around in his /home directory, as this server also hosts other customers. How could I do that? Thanks, -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am reposting this because not only am I VERY interested in the answer but because I think it would also be useful to many, many people. We kind of have a house-style here, so it would be nice if the generated scaffold.css would accommodate that. My questions are? Is it possible? Is it safe? How? bruce

Hi Folks, I''ve just released version 0.9.0. This latest version of Ferret is an alpha release. I have removed the old c extension and Ferret is now running on a fully ported C library. This has allowed some huge performance improvements both with regard to memory and CPU usage. There will probably be a few portability issues to start with. It has been developed on Linux so it should

I have 2 icecast servers and neither will play music, 1 gentoo, the other ubuntu when connect to a mount and trying to broadcast via mixxx using both mp3 or ogg.
