Hi there:
Has anybody made any GIS application using Ruby or/and Rails? How
good would they be in a GIS application? Our group is planning a GIS
application
to display the city maps, and I would really like to do it on Ruby/Rails.
Thanks for any help.

Did you check RubyForge? Maybe something there. On 25-Oct-05, at 12:24 PM, Marcelo Paniagu (Gmail) wrote:> Hi there: > Has anybody made any GIS application using Ruby or/and Rails?

hi all,
does anyone know what would suddenly make my rails app unconnectable? for the
past 3 hours i haven''t been able to get the browser to establish a
connection
to the site at all...
http://aotearoadigitalarts.org.nz/list
it''s not a problem with the server, because the top level connects
fine:
http://aotearoadigitalarts.org.nz/
i''ve tried 2 things to remedy it, deleting old sessions:
% find /tmp/ -name ''ruby_sess*'' -ctime 1 -exec rm \{\} \;
and killing fastcgi processes:
% killall -9 dispatch.fcgi
but to no avail!
any thoughts would be great!
thanks
luke
oh wait. murphy''s law... it''s reachable again a few minutes after posting. i wonder if killing the fcgi processes and/or clearing the sessions had a delayed effect? anyway, pardon for the non-neccessary post : / luke ----- Original Message ----- From: "luke" <lduncalfe-ZKwmMI9HCDA@public.gmane.org> To: <rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org> Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 11:59 AM Subject: [Rails] Rails app not connecting> hi all, > > does anyone know what would suddenly make my rails app unconnectable? for the > past 3 hours i haven''t been able to get the browser to establish a connection > to the site at all... > > http://aotearoadigitalarts.org.nz/list > > it''s not a problem with the server, because the top level connects fine: > > http://aotearoadigitalarts.org.nz/ > > i''ve tried 2 things to remedy it, deleting old sessions: > > % find /tmp/ -name ''ruby_sess*'' -ctime 1 -exec rm \{\} \; > > and killing fastcgi processes: > > % killall -9 dispatch.fcgi > > but to no avail! > > any thoughts would be great! > > thanks > luke > > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails >
Hi Marcelo, A good way for a GIS application with Rails would be a combination of Mapserver (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/) and a WMS viewer (e.g. http://mapbuilder.sourceforge.net/ or maybe http://ka-map.maptools.org/). We made the initial Ruby binding for Mapserver and in the meantime OGR/GDAL got a Ruby interface as well. Regards Pirmin Am Dienstag, 25.

The idea is to create a map of the city we live on. We could snatch Google maps, but, aside from the fact that we would like to make our own maps, we live in Mexico, so there are no street maps yet in Google. This is what we plan to do: - The map will show you the street route from one address in the map to another. - If possible the map will give advise in how to get to the destination address. - Also, we would like the map to give you a route based on the time of the day, so the user can avoid traffic jams. - The map will be mounted in a public server, and the guys are planning to finance it selling "spots" on the map to companies. This "spots" are small logos of the company that will be show on the map on the proper address, in the same way Google shows where hotels an stores are. We are currently in the planning stage now, so this ideas are being discussed.

Thanks for the tip. I will look in this sites. Care to share the Ruby binding for Mapserver ?
