All of a sudden, on three different systems, the "server_ip_address/sid_name" syntax in database.yml has stopped working for me. I can''t even do a OCI8.new(blah blah blah) statement from an IRB shell. I get "ORA-12541: TNS:no listener", or some variant, depending on how I phrase it. On systems where I have a real deal client installed, and OCI can find the tnsnames

Hello all, I have been using R for about 3 weeks and I am frustrated by a problem. I have read R in a nutshell, scoured the internet for help but I either am not understanding examples or am missing something completely basic. Here is the problem: I want to plot data that contains dates on the x axis. Then I want to fit a line to the data. I have been unable to do it. This is an example of

I thought you might be interested in how far I have got with solving my problem with MySql(via phpMyAdmin) to website character_set problems. I thought I had solved the problem when my characters on my website started showing the special characters. This was a partial success though. When I went back to phpMyAdmin and entered new text the problem was the same, but reversed. What now happens is

Hi list, I''ve got some counter_caches in a model. When these get incremented - say on a page view - my updated_on column also gets updated. How can I conditionally not update updated_on if just these counter_cache columns change? The problem with that is that I am using acts_as_versioned which clones the record each time updated_on changes. I am successfully ignoring the counter_cache

i know that title sounds confusing, but here is the deal: the two columns that we are concerned with for this question are the "updated_on" column and the "views" column. the views column increases everytime a user visits a certain page. like this: @object.update_attributes(:views => @object.views + 1) the problem is that when a user visits the page, it AUTOMATICALLY

I am working on an application where there are many different screens to access the data in a particular record/row. I have links to each data entry screen at the top. Is there a way to detect whether the current hash has been changed from the stored record so I can prompt the user if they attempt to change screens without having saved their changes to the data?

Hi, I need a fresh set of eyes to look at this bit of controller code and tell me why I might be getting an error message: lookup = Profit.find(:all, :conditions => [ "user_id = ?

Hi- Ruby 1.8.2 Rails 1.1 so I''m trying to build my first rails app and I''m trying to understand how the helper methods work. For instance .new & .save . For instance, I''ve created a table of Objects, and generated a scaffold. I see that in the controller, there are calls to Object.new and Object.save. I''m assuming that these are methods inherited

Hi! I have ran on problem with collations. In database.yml I have set: encoding: utf8, but when in console run: >> ActiveRecord::Base.connection.collation => "latin1_swedish_ci" It is Rails 2.1, mysql gem 2.7, mysql 5.1.22.

Hi everybody I am totally new to rails and I am trying to start a tiny project to get familiar with rails.

Here is an example that seems perfect for Ajax that I have not seen implemented nor can figure out how to do it. I am hoping someone can give me some pointers. On the sign-up page, I would like to do my validations (password length, username uniqueness,etc ) Ajax-style. But if all validates, then redirect to the success page. The combining of redirection to a new page with Ajax is throwing me.
