With acts_as_taggable 1.04... 1. how can I get a frequency of tags? i.e. /tags/list I want to list of tags sorted and listed with their frequency tags_controller.rb: def list @tags = Tags.find_by_sql ''select name, count(*) as freq from tags group by name order by freq desc'' End tags/list.rb: <ul> <% @tags.each do |t| %> <li><%= t.freq %>

I''m trying to generate a "page slug" i.e. a url sanitized id from some text in my model that I want to be saved into the database and I''m not seeing how I can do it. The closest I''ve come to getting this to work has been... class Page < ActiveRecord::Base attr :name before_save :generate_slug def generate_slug self.slug = self.name.gsub

Okay, so I just realized there seems to be two acts_as_taggable modules, the gem and the plugin 1. which came first? 2. what''s the difference? (internals, not ones a gem and ones a plugin) 3. which one is better? ;-) -- Craig Beck http://www.luckybonza.com AIM: kreiggers

Why isnt the RoR community focusing on robust and scalable mod_perl style of Apache environment, rather then splintering all over the place with lighthttp, mongrel, WEBrick, SCGI, fcgi, etc??? Its frustrating as someone who is trying to migrate to RoR. Its very unlikely I would ever get a contract to work on any webserver except Apache, so it would seem logicaly to focus all our efforts to

Hello, ? I need to make many (>50) ssh connections from linux to cygwin at the same time. Using Windows 2000 Server (OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8b and updated cygwin) and Linux RHEL4 (OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7a). ? It's been difficult to optimize many simultaneous connections. Here were some issues: 1.?????? On Windows XP/Professional, Microsoft intentionally cripples the TCP/IP stack.

All, I have all of the components that I need to install RoR under FCGI for Apache 1.3.34. I have: mod_fcgi 2.4.2 fcgi 2.4.0 (developer''s kit) ruby-fcgi-0.8.6 I am comfortable up to the point of installing mod_fcgi, however, I don''t understand how fcgi and ruby-fcgi will be used by mod_fcgi. How does mod_fcgi connect to fcgi and ruby-fcgi. I assume that there are

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am looking to set up a CentOS server for hosting a high traffic PHP site (specifically Drupal 6). I am trying to figure out what's the best way of setting up PHP. The standard mod_php seems to not be a good solution, as it requires apache to be in the prefork configuration, due to PHP not being thread safe. Something like mod_fcgi seems to be

Hi, Besides file-max and file-nr is there anywhere else I should be looking to solve a C program giving me 'too many open files' problem? (centos 3.4) While the program is complaining here were the values file-max 209632 file-nr 3655 258 209632 lsof | wc -l around 7000 during and about 1111 less after I closed the application. Any ideas? thx

Francis, I read in the list archives back that a future EventMachine release will support epoll on Linux (i.e., it''s in the trunk). Better still, is there a possibility that EM will rely on libevent so that it will be architecture independent (i.e. epoll on Linux, kqueue on FreeBSD/Mac OS X, /dev/poll on Solaris)? This is how memcached is implemented, and it would be helpful to be able

Hi, What is the best way for you to simulate a provider behavior in modules ? For exemple if you have an webserver module and want to have a apache2, lighthttpd prividers. How would you do so the call to the modules functions stay like: webserver::addvhost { ... } and not webserver::apache2::addvhost Any best practices you can share ? I know that conditional include would not work

I am having a problem with mongrel just stopping inside a periodically_call_remote function so I ran mongrel with debug enabled Mongrel seg faults after a few minutes The mongrel filelog shows 5 files open when this happens.

Hi, I work for a small company that makes radar systems for research organisations and we use FreeBSD on the PCs for data acquisition and processing. We have recently shifted to FreeBSD6/amd64 and one machine in particular is exhibiting a strange problem. The acquisition process is a Tcl interpreter with a largish chunk of C code which talks to the hardware (via RS485 and a custom PCI card).

I''m trying to get some stats from my database about my model, and I''m not sure how to go about it. If I have a model ''foo'' that has an attribute ''color'' and I want to get some counts on this I could use the sql: SELECT color, COUNT(*) AS count FROM items GROUP BY status which would return something like: +--------+-------+ | color |

I''m running a rails app on FedoraCore4 and so far have been using lighttpd and fastcgi. I''ve decided to switch to apache because lighttpd has been far too unstable, unpredictable, and slow. I don''t know if it''s lighttpd or the combination of lighttpd and fastcgi but it''s just not working for me. I need something that has been proven to work and

I can''t decide between a2hosting.com, successfulhosting.com, site5.com (which offers 11gb of disk space for $8.77/month -- I''ll never use it), planetargon.com (which offers 1 gb for $11/month), or railsplayground.com (which offers a gigabyte practically for free). Any experiences you''d like to share? Only a2 and planetargon list their gems on their web sites. All of

I can''t believe i just found out about this. I''m curious to see what the stats on other people''s projects look like. Here''s mine (8 hours dev time): +----------------------+-------+-------+---------+---------+-----+-------+ | Name | Lines | LOC | Classes | Methods | M/C | LOC/M |

Every app we build has to be deployed, and the price has to be right. * dedicated servers start at 99$/m (Dreamhost, ..), and shared hosting go up to 47$/m (PlanetArgon) or 60$/m (TextDrive) * Railsplayground: 2$/m * TextDrive dedicated servers : 1000$/m Is there an objective way/tool to measure, test and compare the performance of the hosters?

I''m working with a guy who has Apache 1.3 installed on his server, and it''s not an option to simply use lighttpd for a Rails application I''m helping him with. I''ve seen that Apache 2 apparently is crappy when it comes to fastcgi, but 1.3 isn''t so bad. I can then either just run my app straight in Apache, or I could proxy it through to lighttpd. Which
