But, are there ways to launch threads within the rails application itself. I have heard of WebBrick ways, but I am working with lighttpd, fastcgi? (textdrive if you are really interested).

I''ve got a couple apps that I use (billing app, support ticket app, some other custom apps) that I want to integrate into one site.

does anyone know of a way to make the date_helper deal with mysql dates with 00 values in them? I have lots of dates that are like the following: 2005-04-00 2005-00-00 and I need to set null values in a date_select for elements that are 00. These are valid dates in mysql. In the absence of an immediate solution to the above, I''ve been trying to find out how InstanceTag.new works so I can

Hi I am running ruby 1.8.4 and rails 1.0.0 with Apache 2. I made a simple rails application called demo and also created a controller called say and an action called hello which is working fine using webrick.

I am trying to setup a model class that I want to inherit from ActveRecord when in the test mode, and not inherit when in production and/or development mode. The reason for this is so that I can use fixtures to test that the logic in the model is working correctly, but I don''t want the database table around during production (and normal development).

I read in various places that although migrations aren''t transactional, all you need to do is wrap you migration method in "ActiveRecord:: Base.connection.transaction do" to make the self.up or self.down transactional.
