Mongrel users - Sep 2006 - fckeditor works, but i cant get my buttons back...

I am going to bet this is a mongrel issue,because this doesn''t happen
under webrick. Anyway, I was able to get fckeditor: http://www.fckeditor.net/
to work under rails: http://www.joshuamcharles.com/xhtml/fckrails.php
i even saw the part about adding "1. Adding a YAML configuration file. For
example, create
$(RAILS_ROOT)/config/mongrel_mime.yml with the contents:

xml: "text/xml"

2. When starting mongrel_rails, add the configuration file using the
"-m" option, e.g.:

mongrel_rails start -m config/mongrel_mime.yml"

and that gives me a text box when i translate that to mongrel_cluster.yml ad a
config: mongrel_mime.yml line to it.

The issue now is I ONLY get a textbox that renders html it back. I
can''t get my buttons like font,style, color,etc back. I have checked
this all under webrick and its a go, but not under a 3 node mongrel cluster.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

I had something similar I think - after getting the mongrel config right 
I had to clear the browser cache before fckeditor worked properly. 
Presumably the browser had cached the incorrect content type.

So long as the content type of the files are returned correctly, there
should be no problem with FCKeditor through mongrel.  I have a site
working under IOWA+Mongrel that is using fckeditor in its CMS without
any problem.

Mongrel defines a content type for .js files:

     ".js"         =>  "text/javascript",

That does beg a question, though, Zed.  Why text/javascript and not
application/javascript?  text/javascript is considered obsolete by the
RFC, in favor of application/javascript.

Note that Austin Zeigler''s mime/types library, while it has the mime
type defined in it, it does not tie it to the .js file suffix.  I
think this is an oversight and have emailed Austin about it, but if
you use mime/types for anythng, be aware of this.

Thanks. Sorry for such a basic question, but under mongrel_cluster.yml
I have (obviously path to app is not literal):
cwd: /path/to/app
port: "8000"
config: config/mongrel_mime.yml
environment: production
address: 127.0.0.1
pid_file: log/mongrel.pid
servers: 12

I even tried dropping the config/ part.

in the config/mongrel_mime.yml file i have:
js: "text/javascript",
xml: "text/xml"

I even tried what you literally pasted initally, and that still doesn''t
work.

Is mime handling the job of the front end webserver aka apache2 with
mod_proxy_balancer
or should this really "just work"tm

Thanks

Oh, I just cut and pasted that from lib/mongre/handelers.rb

I''m sleep and reading impaired today, so I didn''t notice that
you have
mongrel_cluster in the mix.  I''m pretty ignorant on mongrel_cluster,
so I don''t know how that might complicate things.

However, in general, if mongrel is receiving your request for
/editorpath/fckeditor.js, it should be returning the file contents
with a mimetype of text/javascript or application/javascript (or even
application/x-javascript).  Now, your browser, when it runs this
javascript, will generate another request for
/editorpath/editor/fckeditor.html (probably with some query string
arguments attached to it, interestingly).  If that is returned to your
browser, too, then you should see the editor.

You can test this by using some tool to see what HTTP headers are
being sent when fckeditor.js is retreived.

wget -S http://servername.com/editorpath/fckeditor.js

is one way.

Make sure that the headers, and especially the content type look right.

Do you need a dot in front of the extension? My mongrel_mime.yml has:
---
.xml: text/xml
.xpi: application/x-xpinstall

and is working with fckeditor.

Uh, I got that from the lighttpd mime types everyone is using.  I
believe I''ve had a few people say the few mime types mongrel has are
wrong, but when they go look them up they are only "technically"
wrong.
In practice old ass browsers from companies in WA still don''t have a
clue.

That being said, if you need to change it then that''s why mongrel
accepts the mime yaml file.  Those types were just the bare minimum to
get a rails app up.  YMMV.

I''ll have to try your config out, but use absolute paths for this
stuff.
The relative paths were an oversite I''m trying to correct.

I think you need to dump what is actually getting sent back to the
browser.  Until then you''re just guessing. Check out:

http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/

And see what''s really going on.

Yeah, that''s another thing, you probably need to get this working for
development, but in your production deployment you *really* do not want
Mongrel handling this.  It''s such a waste of a perfectly good Apache
server.

Oh yeah, duh.  Also, there should be a log message in log/mongrel.log
yelling at you about not having a . in front of your mime types.
