Anyone know (or know where to point me to) to figure out how to force Rails into development mode? I''d like to not have to kill dispatch.fcgi everytime I make a change. My site is not live and I''m just doing development and testing right now. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

using the below: <%= select(''project'', ''project_type_id'', @project_types.collect {|x| [x.name,x.id]}, {:include_blank => true}) %> but i''d like that first option to have something like "select project type" with an empty value?

Hi folks I have more than 12 years experience with UNIX system administration, but I am too stupid for programming. My only programming experience is shell scripting. I tried to learn Java, but don't understand it because it is too complicated for my limited brainpower. What programming language should I learn? A friend said that C-Sharp (Mono) is very simple. Is this true? cheers Sven

Hello, If your operation depends on FreeBSD you should be aware there is currently a funding request by the FreeBSD security officer. I''m relaying this information because I know FreeBSD is an important platform for Rails and I hope those of you who do depend on FreeBSD will be willing to put some money forward for this valuable work to continue. You can read about the request

Where can I find a patch for ext3 fs for kernel-2.4.2. Currently I'm using RH7.1 I dont want to upgrade to RH7.2!!! I just want to applay the ext3 patch for kernel-2.4.2 compile and use it. Thanks in advance! Sanat

When I explain RoR to someone I don''t have a convincing argument that explains why everything is so automatic and transparent, but relationships have to be encoded by hand in models. That shows I don''t understand well that part of AR. There''s the argument that says that not all databases offer metadata about foreign keys, but the natural question then is that,

I have a class Player, and a class Game. Game has two HABTM relationships to the Player table through seperate relationship tables. class Game < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :players, :uniq => true has_and_belongs_to_many :victors, :class_name => ''Player'', :uniq => true end When I add Player A to players, and Player B to victors, and save the

Greetings, I just found Puppet last night. Really wish that the discovery had been made last month before tons of late night messy bash scripts were written to help boot up an ec2 image.... With very little effort Puppet is now installed on my desktop as a server and one of my staging servers is able to call into the puppetmaster to run a very very simple manifest. So far I am super-

So, the usual problem -- we want to be able to test our manifests before putting them into full-scale no-holds-barred oh-shit-we-broke-teh-intarweb production. The two possible solutions I''ve considered so far are: 1) Set a tag on objects we only want to be run on our test machines, and run Puppet on the test machines with "please run objects tagged ''test''".

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- The autodetection routines for some linux modules can tie up the machine for several seconds at a time.

A suggested fix is to remove or chmod 0 device nodes for hardware not installed on the

There was a discussion a while ago about adding inheritance to definitions. There is a need for a way to specialize parameters while allowing passing other options. This comes up with remotefile where it would be nice to have a default server location but not specify all the parameters (and their defaults) in the definition. Was there a change to the syntax? Is there a way to accomplish this?

Hello; I'm running a FreeBSD 4.10-release-p2 box and both chkrootkit 0.44 & 0.45 report that my /sbin/init file is infected. It appears as though the egrep for "UPX" in the output of "strings" triggers the infected notice. When I copy the init file from an uninfected box to this one chkrootkit continues to report it as infected. Is chkrootkit reading a copy of the

Hello, How do I prevent previously submitted form data from being reinserted into the database when the user presses the browser''s Refresh button? On Aughey''s advice in #irc I tried using `redirect_to'' a new `:action'' but this approach doesn''t seems to work. Any idea what might be wrong or how to tackle this problem? Thanks for your help. P.S.- I

I''m on Mac OSX and I''m about to rip my hair out over how hard it is to install rails. I''ve installed rubygems and am typing "ruby setup.rb" in the command line and get "No such file or directory." I''ve never had to use command lines before so this is alien to me. Can''t they just make installation GUI-based for non-geeks like

I just started digging into puppet and it looks like puppet is using a pull model. You have a master server and clients talk to it to get config info. Is anyone out there using a push model? If not, why not? Are there security reasons you would use one over the other? It seems that cfengine also uses a push model, so I wondered if this is a "standard" or if there are specific

Hi, My gateway/firewall/mailserver machine has been running 2.4.13 for a day or so now. Its basically a stock Linus kernel + ext3-0.9.13 patch (for -pre6, with the rej fixed).

I sure hope so: http://duckdown.blogspot.com/2006/03/additional-thoughts-on-why-ruby-isnt.html Seems like it''s getting genuine rebuttals, though. It''s actually kind of amusing.

Someone I was speaking with this evening claimed they have installed the latest named rpms yet they are still getting exploited daily and being hacked. Do the latest rpm''s for the named 4.9.x stuff fix all the root exploits or is this person just an idiot who probably has holes elsewhere in the system?

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
