From my blog (http://inquirylabs.com/): RailDock is a full-text searchable Ruby on Rails documentation site. It is unique in that it brings together the auto-generated “ri” metadata produced by rdoc and Zed Shaw’s RubyOdeum library. Using this combination, a simple Google-suggest style drop-down box can give you a list of valid classes and methods that have any reference to the word or words you are typing in the search box. This means that if you type “redirect_to” and wait for suggestions, you will not only see the ActionController::Base#redirect_to but also ActionController::Flash (for example) since its documentation references redirect_to. Because RailDock uses the automatically generated documentation produced by rdoc, it can be kept precisely up to date with each new release of Ruby on Rails. Future releases will include better search results (currently only a list of pertinent classes and methods are returned if an exact match was not found), and the ability to post comments and code snippets for particular classes or methods. Enjoy! http://raildock.mytechsupport.com/ Duane Johnson (canadaduane) _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

I had intended that you set your DNS to that address in order to access the raildock.mytechsupport.com url. 67.50.44.242 isn''t actually the address of the web server that hosts RailDock, it''s just a nameserver. (RailDock is hosted as a VirtualHost, requiring the URL of the page to be passed in the header, otherwise the web server won''t know which VirtualHost to dish out to the browser--so I can''t just give out the IP address and make it work.)

Did you forget to restart apache or add the correct VirtualHost container or something? Tyler

Nice. But with the risk of sounding harsh I''m going to attempt myself at some constructive critism (of course, I understand it''s still in the early phases), I''m not sure if that''s what you''re asking for, but I can''t keep my mouth shut on this subject anyway: *It nees more work ;) It being searchable isn''t enough to be a useful documentation alternative I think, the ability to browse is lacking and it''s (currently) only useful as an webbased alternative to ri. With the "relations" being a nice plus. * I assume you''ve seen the documention wiki pages: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/DocumentationDiscussion -- There''s a lot of good stuff in there (and different opinions as well ;)) on how to make the current docs even better. * This should be opensourced somehow within the community, at least if you''re serious about it being a possible alternative to the current rdoc format. I think you''d be able to get some good improvements that way. (of course this is your project, not mine, and again I''m guessing it''s not at all "done" yet) * html needs to be escaped for instance under paramters: http://raildock.mytechsupport.com/ri/ActionController::Base But great initiative, keep it going! -- johan On 7/9/05, Duane Johnson <duane.johnson-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> From my blog (http://inquirylabs.com/): > > RailDock is a full-text searchable Ruby on Rails documentation site.

I guess I announced it prematurely--the nameservers are still distributing the IP address around the internet. For those of you who are experiencing this error page it''s because your DNS server hasn''t yet received the update to point to the raildock server address (our development box). Instead, you are being directed to our production server by a DNS catch-all subdomain. The error page is showing up because the production server is not hosting the application right now.
