Trying to automate backup of the following local mounts/directories to a usb drive (/mnt/usbbackup); here's what's in my include file: + /home/gravyface/www/* + /mnt/datadisk1/music/* + /mnt/datadisk2/projects/* If I run the following, nothing happens, so I checked the man and I'm not specifying a source (I thought the include-from was the source): sudo rsync --progress -avz --include-from=/home/gravyface/backup.list /mnt/usbbackup/localbackup...

I''m going to take another stab at this question (my first one received no replies): I have two models: Author has_many: books Book has_one: author I have two tables: authors id ... books id author_id ... I let the scaffolding fly and it created the CRUD goodness for each model, as expected. However, I want to have only one view/controller "set" for both models; when I

do you read me? Testing, one, two, three... not seeing my post -- just want to make sure its working.

Hi, I''m using TextMate for rails development on OSX, but have reached a point where I need to run in a debugger and be able to step through the code as it executes. I have previously used the Eclipse Ruby plug in and another IDE for ruby development on windows, but never figured out how to run a Rails app in the debugger. How are other textmate users debugging and what else is there on

Hey everyone - I have a career-related question for you all. I currently work full time as a Sr. Sys Admin, and have been doing systems work for about 9 years. I have been doing web development work on and off during this time, and have written quite a few internal applications and scripts for several companies I worked for. I have never worked in the full time capacity of a software developer

Sorry that this thread is a little off topic, but I''m looking for some varying opinions on the subject and I think this group has a breadth of experience on this matter :) A little background info... the registration process for a web application I am developing will be targeting those ages 13+ with the bulk of the users being in the 13-25 age range. We are in the process of developing

Yo all, All I want to accomplish at this moment in time is simple password protection around a rails application in development using WEBrick on a custom port. Just one account would be fine. I have done an extensive Google hunt for an example, but I all find are code chunks for starting WEBrick such as: realm = "Gnome realm" start_webrick {|server| htpasswd

Hello. I installed under Ubuntu (Dapper) Park Place. I followed the instructions given at the RedHanded site. I get the following mongrel error when launching the application: ** Please login in with `admin'' and password `pass@word1'' ** You should change the default password or delete the admin at soonest chance!/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.12.5/lib/mongrel.rb:584:in

Say I am building a blogging platform, and I want to allow users to be able to add an avatar without leaving the page, when they''re writing a post. I need the avatar information to be included in the form for the post. So for example, after a user adds a new avatar while writing a new blog post, it would be available to be selected as the avatar to be used for that post. What is

Gents, We''re hard at work on a new Rails app. We''re a small group of developers...not a web designer in the bunch. We know CSS enough to be dangerous, but we shy away from the "softer" skills (all the while envious of those with that capability). We intend to grow our application in terms of functionality, but I need to make sure we keep an eye towards

Hello all, Maybe the $subj is a little bit weird (i.e. apples vs oranges) but it is a situation i am facing at the moment: We are developing a small web site which will be mostly a CMS (more or less) and my colleagues is arguing for drupal, and i am for RoR. Maybe i can formulate the question in a different way: when to use a CMS (not necessarily drupal but e.g. Radiant CMS) and when to use Ruby

We''re trying to set up a colocated server for deploying a Rails application or three. Right now I''m undecided between a PC-based server running FreeBSD and an Xserve running OS X. I''ve never colocated before so I''m wondering if anyone has stories, tips, or could say what their preferred OS is for running Rails. I''m also wondering how performance of

Allo, Just started playing around with RoR/scaffolding and have been impressed so far. However, it seems to create a 1:1 relationship between Controllers and Models and the basic CRUD actions -- I need to CRUD two models from the same views and actions. I have: Book model Book controller, with create/edit/show/destroy/list actions and the scaffold-gen''ed views. Category model Category

Hi there, Seeing an odd behaviour when running upsmon -c fsd to test my Raspberry Pi (running Jesse Lite) setup as a upsmon master, attached via USB to an APC Back-UPS XS1300. The Raspberry Pi is plugged into the Master outlet on the APC. The UPS clicks onto battery (and the fan spins up) for a few minutes, then resets, then repeats again, while finally remaining on AC power afterwards. The
