I''d like to set up capistrano to send an email whenever we do a deployment. Just start an SMTP session with localhost and shoot off the email. I have all the code to do that actually, I just don''t know how to run some Ruby code on the deployment server. Anyone know how to do that, or do you have an email recipe?

I am implementing a search on my site and was wondering which will be the best way to go about it. We want a full text search and an advance search. We will have huge amounts of data that we would want to search. - on multiple tables. I went through the plugins acts_as_ferret and acts_as_solr. but ferret seems to have a locking problem at high load and solr needs a java server. So what do you

I just published a new article on how and why (and when!) to do away with paginated search results, in favour of a more natural, endlessly scrolling page. http://unspace.ca/discover/pageless/ I provide code and an example of how to implement this in Rails and Prototype. Opinions and suggestions welcomed! Pete Unspace Interactive Inc. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You

Based on this article http://blog.saush.com/?p=208 I have created a simple speed test application to see how JRuby behaves under JAVA server. I created one controller with simple method that provides actual time for view. View is RHTML with simple code for publishing the time provided by controller. Then a packed the application into WAR(described in article) and published under JBoss 4.0.5 (on

i''m having some problems getting a simple example going with backgrounDRB. after i set my worker to work i try to get back the result like this: w = MiddleMan.worker(key) w.items comes back as DRb::DRbUnknown (i have items as attr_reader in my worker and access it inside there with @items). the result is actually activerecord results in an array. when i change it so my worker puts

This is more of a design issue I''m wrestling with, and was wondering what other people are doing. I have a products table with status values of In Stock, Out of Stork or Discontinued. This is unlikely to change any time soon. Approach A, is to have thses actual values in the status column, at least the meaning is very apparent, yet querying for products with a specific status could

I am using .keys on a hash to create an array that is than displayed in a view with .each - why does it not display the keys in the order added to the hash? I would like to controll how the array is displayed - I want the checkboxes to display like I added them to the hash, but it doesn''t - I can''t figure out how it is displayed, when I change the order of the hash it

Hey All, I''m setting up some mongrel servers.. can''t get it to daemonize. here is my configurator block:: config = Mongrel::Configurator.new(:host => OPTIONS[:ip]) do #debug(''/gateway.rb'',[:access,:threads]) listener :port => OPTIONS[:port] do uri("/gateway.rb", :handler => RUBYAMF::MongrelServlet.new, :num_processors =>

I''m building an application for a company that has thousands of clients, and for each client there will a set of documents that are private to that client. Rails makes it easy, of course, to show the list of documents on a per-client basis, using acts_as_authenticated and using current_user as part of the find any time a document list is displayed. The part for which I''m looking

I''m trying to emulate the mongrel_cluster_ctl but it takes a -c conf_file option... meaning I can run it from anywhere as long as I tell it where the conf file is. Merb doesn''t have that capability does it? (it has an additional/supplemental config like mup.conf etc) Do I have to be under the merb_app root /path/to/merb/app/ to be able to run merb? Let me know. Thanks,

I am using RMagick in my app and am having problems in deployment. The deployment machine (Fedora Core 5) can''t find RMagick unless I change the "require" syntax from that used on the dev machine (OS X). And the dev machine doesn''t like the syntax that works on the deployment server! To wit: [OS X] $ script/console Loading development environment. >> require_gem

All, I see this item on the merb-0.0.8 release notes Added rails session parasite mode. I am assuming merbs can piggy back off the rails current session. How does one achieve that ?

Is there anything mongrel cluster gives you that monit doesn''t? I''ll be using monit to monitor a number of other services anyways, so it seems logical to just use it for everything including mongrel. Chris

First of all, I''d like to do what I''ve seen several others here do: thank Ezra and any other contributors for producing a really great plugin. Even though I''m having some minor problems, this is all so approachable and easy to work with and dig into... I hate to think of the hoops you''d need to jump through (both as creator of such a system and as a user) to

I put together a sample app to help people learn Merb: http://svn.depixelate.com/applications/invoice_tracker/ I also blogged about it here: http://depixelate.com/2007/5/31/taking-merb-for-a-spin -- Zack Chandler http://depixelate.com

I have noticed that occasionally (about 50% of the time) when i deploy (using capistrano) my app to a production server, i have to ssh into the box and manually stop and start backgroundrb to get it to load my workers. this is my basic setup i have 2 workers: lib/workers/mp3_worker.rb => takes a hash of params to downsample an mp3 lib/workers/flv_worker.rb => takes a has of

I''m just getting started wtih backgroundrb, and unfortunately hit a snag right away... I''m running the latest releases of rails, backgroundrb, slave and daemons. I created a simple worker class, using the generator, which currently does nothing but print the arguments that are passed to do_work. I''m running backgroundrb using ''./script/backgroundrb

I can''t get to the code anymore. Devjavu''s svn is asking for a username and password. http://svn.devjavu.com/backgroundrb/ Authorization Required This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn''t understand how to supply the credentials

All, I am getting an undefined method exception while trying to use a helper method in a xerb file. I am running version 0.0.8 module Merb module FredHelper def blee( args ) .... end end end In the xerb template I have xml.bobo blee( args ) At runtime I am getting undefined method ''blee'' I tryied

Howdy, I just gem unpacked merb and have configured the sample_app to use an sqlite3 database. I see that the Rakefile has a task named "schema", but it points to /dist/schema/schema1.rb", which doesn''t exist. I copied /dist/schema/schema1.rb to /dist/schema/schema.rb then ran "rake schema". What''s the recommended way to create the database tables?
