This isn''t Rails or Ruby related, but I just need some advice and thought I''d ask the bright individuals here. I want to start my own blog but I''m not sure where to begin. I don''t want to get a blogger account because I want to have my own domain. Blogger also doesn''t have many features. My hosting service is 1AND1 so it supports php, cgi and mysql.

I''m running into the need (on at least one project now) to implement end-user-customizable "metadata" or properties on model objects. The standard example would be a Person class that had first_name, last_name, etc. but would need to be extended real-time (through the web admin interface) with properties such as phone_number : varchar (30). I''ve done some basic

Using lighttpd + fcgi to power a site. When no one has accessed it in a while, the first visit to the page takes a while to load up. Then subsequent visits are fairly fast. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I''ve just had a problem with fastcgi killing processes off while they were running (I have a long-running background process)... but it took me a while to track it down and pinpoint that fastcgi was asking the process to quit. So i was thinking if it would be a good idea to tweak the way ruby-fastcgi handles this. At the moment, in fcgi.rb (part of the fcgi gem) there is

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

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to maintain database reflection for the ''new'' and ''edit'' views whilst removing scaffolding? I''m trying to create a webapp that will be somewhat maintainable by colleagues (that aren''t necessarily web developers) through simple manipulation of db table fields. For example to add another field to the

I am trying to get data out of a database to my rhtml file. The files look like this: Model ------- mystuff.rb class Mystuff < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name "mytable" set_primary_key "id" end Controllers -------------- mystuff_controller.rb require ''Mystuff'' class MystuffController < ApplicationController def read @me =

On my linux workstation I have a nice, very little project in a directory called "mystuff" I installed "mystuff" into site-library with R CMD build, R CMD check and R CMD install. This was all with the file mystuff.tar.gz. Now I want to install "mystuff" on my windows workstation. Can I use the same file mystuff.tar.gz. Do I need to do something different with R

Hello As I'm beginning to write functions, I decided to have my personnal R library named MyStuff located in /home/fred/R.Lib/MyStuff/ The library file itself is at /home/fred/R.Lib/MyStuff/R/MyStuff evrything seems ok since > library() gives : Packages in library `/usr/lib/R/library': KernSmooth Functions for kernel smoothing for Wand &

Hi all, Still working through the Hartl tutorials. Making progress but am hitting (another) wall. The repository is on github at: git-9UaJU3cA/F/QT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org:aamax/sample_app.git if you want to see the code. I''ve pretty much followed the tutorial exactly except I am using rails 3.1.0 rather than 3.0.1 and some of the other gem versions are different. I

I figured I pose this to the list and see if any one can build a better mousetrap. The problem: 1. Store hierarchical data in a database, but without knowing the hierarchy beforehand. 2. Allow the user to define there own hierarchy, and allow the system to support multiple hierarchies. Call it a cataloging system, we have an object and we want to add data about that object to the system. Now

I tried to keep track of the number of access to a specific controller. I declared ''@@mycount = 0'' in the controller class. The methods in the controller will increment the @@mycount (@@mycount = @@mycount + 1) and print the value to the html page and show in the browser. The value is always 1, no matter how many times I access the controller and its action(s). Is this

Seems that any program that has a default data directory, or previously selected directory preserved, has the directory duplicated/nested: That data is in c:\mystuff\mydata It is shown as c:\mystuff\mydata\mydata The files appear and maybe can be read. Any attempt to write produces an error (obviously, there is no such directory). Some programs will crash/abort wine trying to navigate this

I am trying to fetch a single dir using the following command but all I get is a empty dir: rsync -av www.myServer.com::myStuff --include=myDir --exclude=* . Here is the rsync output: receiving file list ... done myDir/ ./ wrote 119 bytes read 392 bytes 92.91 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 The command looks simple and straight forward but somehow I am not getting the expected

I''ve looked for DIFF tools for OSX but haven''t found anything good yet. Tried guiffy (http://www.guiffy.com) but it''s very slow and the folder comparison doesn''t indicate a change until you drill down to the level with the difference which kinda defeats the purpose. I''m missing TortoiseSVN and the diff tool that comes with it. Any suggestions for

Hello, I'm trying to fill CID data into the astdb using AsteriskWin32's asterisk.exe, to no avail: The batch file stops after the first line, and just waits: ---------------------------------------- rem c:\cygroot\mystuff>import.bat rem rem c:\cygroot\mystuff>C:\cygroot\bin\asterisk.exe -rx 'database put cidname 123 "My cellphone"' rem rem Asterisk module

Hello, I just started playing with RubyOnRails. It is indeed fascinating! I have a question about using rails models to connect to backend Java (i.e. EJBs) instead of database. Any pointers will be appreciated. Thanks and Regards, Khaled -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Ok, so this is kinda out of the blue... but I''ve been looking at Google Base and thinking that it''s got some really good ideas in it. Especially the way you can create your own "type" of item with its own custom attributes, like date range, location, number, text, etc. Kind of like defining a database with a GUI, but not exactly. It seems really interesting to me, from

We are experimenting with two different scenarios here. The one I'm asking about this time is this: We have a samba4 AD set up. It seems to be fine as far as we can tell. We are trying to set up a member, and have followed the wiki page https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setup_a_Samba_AD_Member_Server. The first question I have is why is the start script we use on the AD not work on the

I am checking the file size of an uploaded file and storing it in a filesize column. It will work just fine when the user uploads any files other than images (jpg,png,gif). Word, Excel, Powerpoint, .zip and more all work fine. This is my model asset.rb that handles the file upload. def newfile=(newfile_field) self.filename = base_part_of(newfile_field.original_filename) self.filetype
