Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that my new production site with Rails launched last night. You can check it out here: http://www.skunkstudios.com (it''ll redirect you to http://games.skunkstudios.com for a little while) Since the launch last night around 9pm we''ve had over 1,110 game downloads and plays and over 425 members sign up for accounts. All on Apache 2.0 and FCGI. Everything is running really smoothly. Also if you care, there''s a writeup about it on my site: http://www.subimage.com/portfolio/skunkStudios http://www.subimage.com/sublog/node/293 Thanks for all the help answering my questions here and on irc! -- seth at subimage interactive http://www.subimage.com/sublog/ _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

Looks great! I''m in the process myself of setting up an online store with rails, mysql, apache 2.0, fastcgi on a SunFire v20z (Solaris 10 x86-64). Care to share any tips? How many apache/fastcgi processes etc. Any db tuning? Thanks. --- subimage interactive <subimage-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that my new > production site with > Rails launched last night. > > You can check it out here: > http://www.skunkstudios.com (it''ll redirect you to > http://games.skunkstudios.com for a little while) > > Since the launch last night around 9pm we''ve had > over 1,110 game downloads > and plays and over 425 members sign up for accounts. > All on Apache 2.0 and > FCGI.

I poked around a bit, a good layout and nice work with Rails.

Great job! I read the writeup on the site and am curious about how you implemented the game catagories section. I''m building something similar and am interested in how you tackled it.

Honestly I haven''t done any real DB tuning except tried to design all my tables intelligently. In addition I had to make sure to cache some active record calls (when using HABTM) so that I wouldn''t get one page doing multiple SQL calls. Watching the development log is extremely useful in that scenario. I''m running 5 fastcgi processes right now and it seems to be working wonderfully.

Categories have a HABTM relationship with games. On the backend I''m listing all categories during a game edit with checkboxes to allow assignment for multiple categories. On the category edit page there''s a scrollable table list of all games, where you can check off what games you''d like in the category. If you''d like to see the code, it''s not all that difficult. Here''s a screenshot: http://subimage.com/images/screenshots/skunkAdminCategory.png On 10/14/05, Hammed Malik <hammed-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Great job! > > I read the writeup on the site and am curious about how you implemented > the game catagories section.

Nice site. One thing I noticed is that your favicon.ico is present before the redirect to games.skunkstudios.com, but it is not there after the redirect... in case you didn''t know that :) Tom On 10/17/05, subimage interactive <subimage-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Categories have a HABTM relationship with games.
