Hi, everyone, I''m currently running a Rails 1.0 project using lighttpd-1.4.9 behind Apache 2 on RHEL 3. My fcgi process (I''m only using one right now) always hangs after some time, which is something I haven''t experienced before (e.g., I''ve run this same app. on a TextDrive account and it works fine there). So ... any ideas on what could be causing this?

I recently upgraded my Linux install (Debian potato to woody) and now Samba is no longer playing nice with Windows 2000. I can use smbclient on the samba machine to connect to itself, so at least that's working. The error from Windows is: "The semaphore timeout period has expired.". I deleted the smb.log file at one point in an effort to reset it. I figured it'd be created

Hi, Just wondering if people could suggest a good VoIP provider that can service the San Francisco Bay Area and the Los Angeles area. I've tried race.com (recommended to me) but they're kind of hard to get ahold of. Any other suggestions? This is for a business, so reliability is key. I did see the recent thread about this, and while I saw a few mentioned, I didn't see anything

We''re evaluating reporting tools right now, both open source and closed. I saw that a bunch of people on this list have considered Jasper/iReport -- is this coincidence, or is this the best open source report writer right now? The proprietary tool we''re comparing them to is Crystal Reports. Reports will need to be editable by end users, and they''re running Mac OS

I''m pulling text out of a database that contains special characters, like the trademark sign. For example, a typical string might be like this: string_from_database => "Some Special Brand\231 is for sale this Thursday through Friday." The \231 is the trademark sign (TM). ERB converts this to question marks. So, my question is -- how can I get it to display the trademark

You can''t nest HTML forms, so I was wondering ... I have an HTML form, and I have one element where I want to use Ajax inside the form (e.g., a pop-up that contains a search box when there are too many items for a selection list) ... how would I accomplish that? If I could use nested form tags, I could put a small, one-field search form inside the larger form. Thanks! Jen

Hi, David and everyone, I''ve had Ferret running fine in a production Rails application for a while now. I haven''t updated Ferret or really looked at the Ferret-related code since probably January, but I recently started thinking about trying out the latest version (we were using 0.3.2, I think). I got the latest (0.9.4) and have noticed things break. In particular, I used to

I''m not sure whether this is a bug or whether I''m simply expecting Ferret queries to work in a way other than they''re intended. I notice that if use a query like: (other_text:"Collaborative tools") AND NOT other_text:podcasts I''ll get correct search results. However, if I put parentheses around the second part, like:

I know there''s a problem saving has_and_belongs_to_many relationships w/ Rails 1.0 in that only the first association is saved (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3213). What are people doing about this? I guess I could move to using the trunk release, but I''m hesitant because that might introduce a bunch of unknowns. Is there a workaround? For example, a way to explicitly

I''d like to use ferret to build an imap indexer and search utility, but want to check first to see if anyone else is working on this and offer my help. Anyone? Also, if you could provide any helpful pointers on indexing directories via ferret, it''ll be very much appreciated. I''m a lucene nuby. Thanks! John -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I saw that there''s a patch in the queue (http://dev.rubyonrails.com/ticket/1874) for a Firebird adapter. Just wondering if anyone is using this, the other Firebird adapter, or something else w/ Rails. My main interest is that sometimes Windows is a target platform, and Firebird is stable on Windows, whereas I''ve heard that the Windows version of PostgreSQL isn''t

Hello folks, I'm very interested in the Digium/Asterisk combination but need some clarification. I would like to setup a SOHO for business and home use. Scenario One: I have one analog line, 4 analog telephones. Do I need a TDM400P + 4 FXS modules (Green) + X100P? Scenario Two: 2 analog lines, 1 selective ring number for fax, 8 analog phones. Is this what I need? 2 TDM400Ps and 8 FXS

I''m trying to use Ferret to do fuzzy searches. If I use fuzzy search for just one word, it works fine: index.search(''name:gogle~0.4'') However, if I try to use a phrase, it doesn''t work: index.search(''name:"gogle search engine"~0.4'') On the other hand, I could do: index.search(''name:gogle~0.4 AND

Hi, We recently tried installing Asterisk for a small office. We figured the safest way to go would be to buy from someone who sold equipment specifically for Asterisk and to use a consultant that they recommended. However ... it didn't turn out so great. Sound quality is terrible -- the echo is pretty bad, and there are popping noises, too. Callers say that people on the Asterisk end

Does any one have any recommendations on an off-the-shelve PC for an Asterisk Server? This is for a proof of concept, so it needs to be inexpensive. I have tried 2 different PC's and had problems with the sound cards. I am thinking of PC's I can buy from local dealers like Best Buy, Office Depot. SO a cheap HP, Compaq or eMachine would work fine for me. --Steve

Hi, I'm using Asterisk@home and am having trouble using the conference bridge that comes built in. We're using Polycom phones. When we transfer the first person into the conference room (e.g. 8101) , they get into the room fine. When we try to transfer a second person into the conference room, they get dropped as soon as we finish the transfer. This is using Polycom SoundPoint 301

List members, Is it possible to record outbound analog calls using an X100P? I was asked if I knew how to record all calls for a shop with 4 analog phones transparently to the end users. I thought Asterisk was a good fit for this and I envisioned using either Digium TDM400Ps or Sangoma A200s with 4 FXO and 4 FXS modules. The FXO modules would be connected to the existing PBX and the FXS

Hi all, I''ve just built Mandrake 10.1 on a Compaq Deskpro that I''ve built as a router/firewall and am redirecting port 80 outbound to force users through the Content Filter. I''ve run this setup on Mandrake 9.0 and 10.0 without any problems but this time the following happens. Squid is accessed through port 3128 and Dansguardian via 8080. If I set my browser on a

Hi, everyone, Just wondering if someone had come up with a good way to do fuzzy searches if you use MySQL as your database (we tried switching to PostgreSQL, but that ended up adding even more problems). Ferret sounds great, but reading through the discussion it looks like we need to solve the problem of write conflicts. I just wrote a post in ruby-talk about using KirbyBase maybe to solve

Just wondering if there''s a way to use migrations to generate join tables (where the table columns comprise only of foreign keys to other tables, and where the primary key is all the foreign keys taken together). I made the changes manually in MySQL, then did rake db_schema_dump and it gave something like this: create_table "apples_oranges", :id => false, :force
