When this exact code was dropped in a controller, it worked great... is there

So, I''ve written a partial that does some stuff with a given instance of my class "entity". Entity is ActiveRecord.

I''ve done the ruby scripts/generate controller MyTest, and "Rolling with Ruby on Rails" tells me I should be able to browse to \myRoRApp\MyTest and see an error page, but what I''m actually seeing is a fastcgi config file! I have installed fastcgi, but apache can''t "see" the

Hi, If I include a javascript library, will it load when the html load, or just at the first use? I have table.js and I have few pages that needs it. Should I include it just on the pages that needs it, or put it on the application_layout? Thanks, Kfir

Hi, I have a ''descriptions'' table which has_one of lots of other tables. The other tables all belong to a description. But I only want each description to have one record from any of the tables.

Hi there, we made a PHP and Impakt2 based web content management system for schools with specific features that work really well for schools. The way I designed it was so there was one central set of source code and an empty (in terms of rows in tables) database structure. To set up a new school i had a script that basically created a new directory in /var/www and then within that, symlinked

I''m having performance issues with one of my actions, and think I''ve narrowed it down to too many sql queries. I have a form with ~60 lines, which takes ~6 sec to save, 60%+ of that is db io.
