similar to: original filename doesn't display in file_field

Hi All, Just about to set up RoR on our server and was wondering what the ideal setup for RoR is these days? Apache 1? Apache 2? fCgi? Any guidance would be helpful! Thanks, -Adam

I want to be able to find items according to various params - category_id, member_id, type_id, rating, etc. What I have now is something like: if(@params[''category_id'']) @items=Item.find(:all, :conditions=>["category_id=?", @params[''category_id'']) elsif(@params[''category_id''] and @params[''member_id''])

Or does anybody prefer fastcgi/fcgi? I''m using webrick for development, but plan on using scgi when I switch to production (because it appears to be an update to fastcgi, and I couldn''t get fastcgi working anyhow). thanks csn __________________________________ Yahoo!

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

A couple questions about file_field elements. First, with code such as this: <%= file_field ''attachments'', ''filename'' %> Would the filename of the file I select be the value that''s stored within the database under the "filename" column, and then I would just add in code in my "create" controller to upload the actual file?

Hey Everybody, This is the only way I''ve been able to get my file upload to work: class Item < ActiveRecord::Base def file=(upload) @file=upload end def after_create File.open("public/items/#{self.id}.jpg", "w") { |f| f.write(@file.read) } end end The upload form has "file_field ''item'', ''file'',

How can I force word_wrap to break text like this? <% @text=''abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'' %> <%= word_wrap(@text, 10) %> It appears to currently only break on space characters. thanks csn __________________________________ Yahoo!

I am uploading a .csv file for importing into a database; however, this file does not need to be saved on the server. How do I get the file name of the original file? I know about the file_column plugin but I don''t need/want to save the uploaded file on the server, I just need to import it and delete it. Right now the file name get returned as some random temp file name... there has to be

I have a feeds controller which generates RSS and Atom pages. I put ''caches_page :show'' in it. The problem is that the pages are saved with an html extension. As a result, browsers display the cached feeds as HTML rather than XML, and feed validators complain. There''s an option to set ''Base.page_cache_extension'' globally, but I don''t want

Is there some way to have these two sets of URLs use totally different controllers and templates? categories/list categories/show/1 admin/categories/list admin/categories/edit/1 admin/categories/destroy/1 admin/categories/update/1 Besides, of course, using different controller names ;). The first URL is publicly accessible, while the second contains admin functions. Also, with the second,

I''m getting this error in Rails: undefined method `include'' for #<MenusController:0x408efd1c> The offending code is: require "rexml/document" include REXML I see there may be a problem with GCC 4 on OSX, but I''m using Redhat with GCC 3.2. http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/articles/2005/12/22/is-gcc-4-0-incompatible-with-ruby-on-os-x-and-elsewhere

Is there an easy way to deal with nil properties in templates? All I''m aware of are these methods, and it''s quite tedious and surely violates DRY. <%= @member.name unless @member.name.nil? %> <%= @member.name.to_is %> <%= "#{@member.name}" %> csn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I''ve looked through the docs and the wiki and can''t figure out how to go about generating select options and the update function for an item that has a HABTM relationship. I have a ''parks'' table and the park model has a HABTM to the ''states'' table. On the park edit page, I''d like a multiple select box to appear with all states show,

I''ve managed to get Rails working using Apache->Lighttpd->SCGI. Restarting everything is really difficult. This appears to be the process: - stop apache - stop lighttpd - stop scgi - make sure scgi still isn''t running (it sometimes does) - if it is, kill it - delete all session files (they often cause permission errors) - start scgi - start apache - start lighttpd - cross

I currently have a dedicated server at ev1servers, but it''s getting rather antiquated (Redhat 9) and am looking to upgrade. I''m thinking about serverbeach.com - one of their CentOS servers. Anybody have any recommendations for dedicated servers on which to run Rails? Hopefully less than $200/month. Thanks! CSN __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi all. The subject pretty much says it. I''m running on a VPS-style shared server at pipespring.com. I''ve got Typo setup, and have been running it fine for about a month. However, today I got an e-mail from my host saying they disabled Ruby (chmod 000) because it was using waaay too much swap space. I haven''t changed anything with my server at all (Rails or otherwise)

Is there a way to do this in a view? <% redirect_to ''http://url.com'' %> All I can think of is outputting a link and using Javascript to click it, or probably do something like ''doc.location(url)''. csn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Dear wxruby users I''ve been trying to get wxruby-based weft-qda 0.9.6 running on a linux from scratch 6.1 system (this list had a discussion about weft-qda last year and alex fenton''s also been trying to help me out - no luck so far). I get stuck with wxruby 0.60 (I think). I compiled wxruby against wxGTK 2.4.2 (without gtk2, without unicode - gtk+ version is 1.2.10) - after
