Hi, Have been pulling out my hair for the last few days wondering what I''m going to deploy my site onto. I currently have FreeBSD 4.7, Apache 1.3.3, PHP 4 and MySQL 4 running a year-old PHP site. Dated stuff I know! The new version of the site will be entirely Ruby on Rails, and I am wondering what order I should be doing things in terms of upgrades and installation. I want to be

If I set a global can it be access from all instances of Rails (on the same application server)? By instances of Rails I mean for each user who use the application? Many thanks, K. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

During one of my controller actions I want to call an external machine before I do anything. It''s not a real web service, more like a REST-style thing where I''ll just be tweaking a servlet running on another machine and sending it some data. Does Rails give me anything to work with for doing that? I read the web service stuff but it''s overkill for what I need. I

Dear Friends, I''d like to have a development suggestion for Rails. Rails is an amazing framework, and clearly it''s weakest link is that it relies on HTML in the end, which is not always the most appropriate GUI out there. Another option could be XUL. Mozilla-based browsers (Firefox) can run XUL apps right out of the box, others could use the XULRunner application. Here you can

I have been getting the following error everyonce in a while. Can someone please suggest what could be going wrong with my system? It happens about once every 3 weeks. I resolve this by rebooting my server, although I never tried to figure out what is the real problem.

I have a partial, it''s a shopping cart display, it''s designed to appear on several different pages of my site. One of the buttons on the shopping cart empties the cart, and then I want the calling page to redisplay. In other words, the cart controller needs to return the visitor to the same page -- however since the cart could appear on any given page, this has to be

Are there any other tutorial than "Agile Web Development with Rails" that you can suggest? So far I can''t say that RoR has been easy to learn. :-) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m coming from an Oracle and SQL Server background. I''d like to use OpenSource for my next RoR project. MySQL5.x and Postgres8.1 seem to be the most popular. I''d like some comments on which would be the better choice for a production environment and why. Here are my initial concerns in order of priority: 1. Works well with RoR. ( migrations, etc) 2. Stable enough

Hi all, I''m confused about how migrations work. I''ve been using them for a couple of weeks but haven''t had any serious rollback issues yet. Just now I added a field to a table with a migration and ran "rake migrate", which added the field as expected. This was in the file db/migrate/007_mymigration.rb, making it version 7. Later I changed my mind and

Hi All, I''ve finally got fed up of struggling with Windows and am on the verge of splashing out on a Macbook for Ruby/Rails development. I''ve seen DHH''s post about it on loudthinking but I wondered if anyone else has any more wisdom... Is it worth it over a powerbook? Any tips on good OSX apps for Rails dev (textmate, i know already)? Anything not working well on

I intend to release a project I wrote with Rails. What is the right licensing scheme for a web application (content managing system) which could grow with plugins and add-ons ? Personally, I would prefer the GPL but does that mean any add-on to the CMS (like task management) will have to be GPL ? If some people contribute to the code could it still be double-licenced so that the people who
