Ok, I''m pretty sure I''ve seen this done before. I have a fixture that isn''t named the same as the table I want to insert the stuff into. Whats the right way to go about this?! Google has failed me! :( -Nick

Hi mongrel-herders, I''m just wondering what fellow railsers use to rotate their logs in an orderly fashion? I''d like to do something lightweight, i.e. (1) rename the logfile (2, optional) create a new empty logfile and (3) send a signal to each mongrel in the cluster and have them understand it''s time to reopen their log file handles. This is what I do with apache and

I need to process some text files quickly. I''ve not been able to find the answer in the archive. The Ruby Standard Library site times out. Can someone tell me where to find info on how to: 1. Get a list of filenames in a directory. 2. How to open a file. 3. How to read it a line at a time. -- Thanks in advance for the help, -Larry "Work, work, work...there is no satisfactory

Hi! There''s something I don''t understand yet about static/private methods. I hope someone can explain... E.g.: class SayHello def hello(who) puts "Hello, " + who + "!" end def self.say(words) puts words end end hello = SayHello.new hello.hello "World" : Hello World! hello.say "hi" : Error SayHello.say

Hello, If anyone could help me out with this problem I''d appreciate it... I''m making a database of event bookings, I have an events table and a clients table. I''d like to include a form to create a new client in the form for creating a new event. This would update the parent form with the new client_id using AJAX methods (see previous e-mail) so you''d

i realise that this goes against the basic idea of the MVC architecture, but i''ve found myself in a situation where i need to get information about the current user in a model & i''m not sure how to do it. Basically, we have a product where each customer has their own profile with data stored in a separate database. There are some tables in a common

Hello, I want to install a mongrel rails server with an apache in fronthead, all that on OpenBSD. But OpenBSD is released with a homemade Apache 1.3.29 patched by the OpenBSD team. I really want to keep this version of apache and I don''t want to change it to Apache 2.x (because of the security and the license but it''s not the point here). But for having mongrel, it has to be with

Hello, I know how to share sessions between subdomains in PHP. Can anyone please guide me as to how I can share sessions using Ruby? Where can I set the value of domain for which the cookie is set? I would like for a user to login on the home page and then go to blog.home.com and not have to login again. Any guidance/pointers are appreciated. Thanks''

Hi all, Is there a way to invoke validations at times other than save, create and update? I know that I can do this by writing my own validation checks using errors.add_[blah], but I''d like to leverage the existing validation code. What I have is two sets of fields in a record, set A and set B. Both sets must be validated on record create. However, the trouble is that after

With reference to a previous post:http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/55201#new I would like my app to function as follows: A new user signs up for my application, his username is "andy". When andy now logs in to the application the url is redirected to : http://andy.myapplication.com Questions: Is this possible to develop on a windows box with webrick?

Hi, I am just installing a new test environment, but this is just for preparing the next one, which will be a production server. I am doing a clean Debian Sarge 3.1 install with stable sources. I have to decide if I install Apache 1.x or 2 now. I have read that FastCGI is better supported/developed for Apache 1.x. Is this (still) true? What is easier, more stable, etc? I want to run rails

Gang- We are getting ready to launch our ROR application; the last item remaining is the deployment platform. For testing, we had used Apache + MOD_FastCGI. I am not that impressed with it; sometimes it has strange effects. For example, when we start the application, for about 5 minutes or so, the app is very unstable and it gets better over time. My questions is .. should I go with (1)

Hi to everybody, This my first post on the list. I''m a newby of mongrel & rails, I''ve deployed my first project and everything seems to work fine, the only problem I have is the following: After about 1 or 2 days of the mongrel_rails daemon running the mongrel.pid in the log directory disappears, the mongrel process is still there running but doesn''t respond

Been trying to deploy my rails app on Redhat ES3, Apache2, FastCGI with Plesk all day. Fun stuff. Basically, the issue that I can not solve has to do with access to /public. None of my images, javascripts, etc. are working in the app. Trying to access any of these results in a 404 (or routing error if in developer mode). Oddly, the 404 file it displays is -- you guessed it -- in fact *in*

We have a Centos server with a number of virtual hosts, and my rails app runs under one of those virtual hosts using mongrel_rails. The app lives in /home/mydomain/railsapp where /home/mydomain/railsapp/public is the rails root. It runs under mongrel on port 8008, so to get to it users invoke the url http://www.mydomain.com:8008/ - all is fine to this point. Now I have some users whose

Hi, I''m starting to use GetText and have this code: render_text %(<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> parent.mainframe.onUpdateNew("Gallery <b>#{@media.name}</b> was successfully created.", "#{@media.name}","#{String(@media.id)}","#{@media.media_type}"); </script>) I need to convert

For some users, request.remote_ip always return nil. According to the RAILS''s help: REMOTE_ADDR is the standard but will fail if the user is behind a proxy. HTTP_CLIENT_IP and/or HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR are set by proxies so check for these before falling back to REMOTE_ADDR. HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR may be a comma- delimited list in the case of multiple chained proxies; the first is the

I''m having tons of problems with fcgi on apache2. The app didn''t crash over the weekend when it wasn''t used. I ran it this morning and it was fine. It''s an inhouse app so it wasn''t used for 3 days over the weekend. It did however crash today. Does this sound like a bad fcgi setup or just a very buggy fcgi/Apache combo? Charlie Bowman

I still want to get this into Rails for all connection adaptors, but for now I''ve hacked my own addition on for just PostgreSQL. The following code extends every Column object returned by MyModel.columns to support a new #required? method, which indicates if the column may or may not be null. The following is a huge hack - suggestions on a cleaner way to add this functionality
