Hi Railers, A long, long, time ago, i made a Framework/CMS in php. There were two core models: Content and Content_type.

Hi guys, After a few days of webrick seeming to use up a ton of ram (the longer it was running, the more ram); izayoi on #rubyonrails kindly suggested changing Dependencies.mechanism in development.rb to :require which appears to have fixed the prob - at the expense of having to restart webrick after making changes to .rb files.

Hi all, I have searched the net and haven''t found a good answer so I hope perhaps someone here can help.
