Hi there I''m considering Rails for a new web-application planned to be built from scratch. The application has an extensive web front, and in fact most of the application is interfaced through that front and engaged through clients'' HTTP requests (i.e. the conventional way web-applications and "dynamic web-sites" work). However, some essential parts are supposed to

Hi all, I''ve been offered a short-term contract here in the North of England - around 3 months work, but with RoR I think it will take considerably less time - and am just curious what market rates were right now. I''ve been offered a little under ?1k/week which seems ''right'' for a PHP coder doing this kind of work, but should I be hitting for more, or is

Can I get some opinions on which free DB to use with rails for a virtual server that will eventually be doing lots of heavy database lifting? Not a lot of heavy duty querying per se. Think multiple simultaneous forums and blog sites and the like. I know each of the different DB possibilities such as MySQL and PostgreSQL has plus points and minus points. I''m particularly interested

Is there any reason to avoid using postgresql for small web apps? That is, is it''s overhead so large that the lighter MySQL will work substantially better for small apps on small machines? Or are they very similar in performance and configuration? I''ve used MySQL but postgresql has its appeals and I''m wondering if I need to keep MySQL around at all. On the other

What are the practical differences between using postgres and postgres-pr to connect rails to a postgres database? I realize the -pr version is pure ruby, while the other is a set of c bindings, but, does that result in performance, reliability, or feature differences? Any information appreciated.

It seems like half the people on this list are writing a book on Ruby or Rails. For all the hints I''ve seen strewn across the list I have yet to see one that will focus on test-driven development for either Ruby or for Rails. If anyone is looking for a topic, please consider this. I''ve been trying to wrap my brain around the TDD process, but its way of thinking is

I installed Rails and Rubygems on a web server for a customer who wants to install a Ruby on Rails application that he developped. He needs SSH access to interact with Ruby, so I''ll have to grant him access, but I want him to only play around in his /home directory, as this server also hosts other customers. How could I do that? Thanks, -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, My helper specs were going ok until I added a call to a rails DateHelper method in one of my helpers http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/ DateHelper.html#M000574 The helper runs fine from my view templates, just dies in the spec test. I boiled my question down to a simple (not too useful) example. I''m not sure what I''m missing. #

I moved a rails application to textdrive using their low-cost shared plan. Once on textdrive my app would display ''proxy errors'' periodically. Hitting reload seemed to be all that was needed to get past the proxy error. After discussions with their support people I decided the proxy errors were being caused by apache server restarts -- because there were many of us sharing one

Hi! I''m running a Rails app on Apache/FCGI, with a single handler process on the server. At one point my application needs to FTP a bunch of files to a remote server. When it starts doing this, the server apparently freezes and doesn''t allow anyone else to do anything. Plus, after about twenty seconds, my nice status page vanishes from the browser, even though the

Is there any working example on using the Globalize plugin? It could help alot Thanks in advance -- Alexander Antonakakis email: alexis-+Saq9+MPrF0@public.gmane.org

Hi, I have been using myisam tables in mysql with rails because my client will soon want fulltext searchable content, however when I migrated my development db from schema.rb all of the tables generated were innodb. I understand that I can override this, but also like the transactions and foreign keys of innodb. So 2 questions really: 1. are transactions in activerecord dependent on innodb or do
