Hi, I just deployed my first Rails app at railsmachine.com (highly recommended; check out their five-minute deployment guide.) After installing PHP on my Rails Machine (and passing the Mint compatibility test), I still cannot get Mint to work. I can see the index page for Mint stats, but the count never updates even though I have the correct <script> tag in my page header. Has anyone else successfully deployed Mint on RailsMachine?

> I can see the index page for Mint stats, but the count never updates > even though I have the correct <script> tag in my page header. > > Has anyone else successfully deployed Mint on RailsMachine?Yes, I have managed to get this working after a lot of aggro. First, I followed the instructions in http://nubyonrails.com/articles/2005/12/05/mint-stats-for-your-ruby-on-rails-app, in particular about the public/.htaccess file, but I still had problems. (The index page was visible, but not through quite the right link, and the counters never updated). I''m not sure if this problem corresponds to yours but the key for me was to add the following to my application''s httpd conf file inside the VirtualHost: ... <Directory /path_to_app/public/mint> DirectoryIndex index.php ... other Directory options, fairly standard ones but not eager to reveal all of server configuration :) ... </Directory> ... Given that the link to the script in your app pages is something like: <script src="/mint/?js" type="text/javascript"></script> this allows Apache to translate /mint/?js into /mint/index.php?js (this is my understanding anyway).> (highly recommended; check out their five-minute deployment guide.)+1 -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I updated the public/.htaccess file and added the DirectoryIndex to my app''s httpd conf file. When I go to mint/ in the browser window, Rails is still processing "mint" as a controller. But if I go to mint/index.php, I see the stats page (with zero stats.) Do you still have to access your stats by going to mint/index.php, or does mint/ work for you? Also did you have to edit any of the mint configuration files to get it to work? Thanks again for your help...

Could be wrong.> Is the ProxyPass directive also required to make this work? Or is that > optional?I''m fairly sure you need this since mongrel wouldn''t know what to do with the Mint PHP, so we have to make sure that Apache doesn''t proxy it on. I''m really fumbling in the dark here. My email is dan at fluentradical dot com Get in touch and I''ll show you my config.

Daniel figured this one out... I made changes to my app''s .conf file
(/etc/conf/apps/my_rails_app.conf) and now I am running Mint on
RailsMachine.
Here is an exerpt from my .conf file:
DocumentRoot /var/www/apps/my_rails_app/current/public
<Directory /var/www/apps/my_rails_app/current/public>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/apps/my_rails_app/current/public/mint>
DirectoryIndex index.php
</Directory>
# Configure mongrel_cluster
<Proxy balancer://my_rails_app_cluster>
BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:8000
</Proxy>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/mint.*
RewriteRule .* - [L]
