Hi, I have mongrel 0.3.14, with ruby 1.8.5, rails 1.1.6 and mongrel cluster 0.2.1, on debian sage 3.1 with apache 2.0, and fastthread 0.6.1. I am load balancing 3 mongrel processes using the random port trick. When I start mongrel the processes have about 60MB, but after some hour of usage the memory ballons upto more than 180MB and the site becomes terribly slow. Forcing me to restart mongrel

Hi, which is the best way to upload an image, keep that and also make a thumbnail? The images should not be stored in the database, but as normal image files in a specific directory. I think that for the thumbnail i should use rmagick, but for the upload ? (something which work with and without javascript, in every browser) Thanks :) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

howdy! I had the problem that attachment_fu didn''t make a thumbnail, but everything else worked. I read this post http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/104213 and added a parent_id column. now I get the following error when I trie to add a photo: undefined method `find_or_initialize_by_thumbnail_and_parent_id'' for Photo:Class my code is: class Photo < ActiveRecord::Base

I''m having trouble serving images which I have saved as db_files with attachment_fu. I use this code to serve the images: Controller -- class PhotoController < ApplicationController def image @photo=Photo.find(params[:id]) send_data(DbFile.find(@photo.db_file_id).data, :type => @photo.content_type, :filename =>

I know that Zed has made mention of the fact that using RMagick with mongrel and rails is a bad thing. I''m currently using FlexImage (which in turn uses RMagick) on my application and really haven''t had too many problems. We get a restart for memory usage every 8-10 hours on one mongrel of twelve running, but I''m not sure if that''s an RMagick issue. Either way,

I am having issues loading imagemagick and rmagick on webfaction. I have installed a rails app called balder that organizes images. my main problem is that i can''t seem to upoload the image sthrough balder. balder uses imagemagick and rmagick when i use the console and do this: irb(main):003:0> require ''RMagick'' => nil I don''t think rmagick is

I''ve tried and tried. I couldn''t get freeimage installed. I got mini_magick installed, but everytime I try Mike Clark''s tutorial, I get the error ''Size is not in the list''. I found some people fixed this by putting a sleep statement in their controller, but this didn''t work for me. Any help out there?

I just installed attachment_fu and for some reason, it seems to be looking in the wrong location for my images. I have a Product model that belongs to a photo model. the photo model has the attachment_fu installed and configured like so: class Photo < ActiveRecord::Base has_attachment :content_type => :image, #Allow standard image formats :path_prefix

Hi I currently have an app running with acts_as_attachment and db_system. I would like to convert it to attachment_fu and file_system. Has anyone done this? Are there any pitfalls? I am aware that the change from acts_as_attachment to attachment_fu is just a matter of replacing the plugins, but I am wondering about the switch from db_system to file_system. Is it as easy? Just fishing for

hi. I use attachement_fu and create this two thubnails of an image. :thumbnails => { :medium => ''380x>'', :thumb => ''x100>'' } Is it possible to replace the existing :thumb image with another image? The main Image and the :medium should remain unchanged. thanks michael -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, Recently attachment_fu stopped resizing images for me. I''m puzzled because before today it was resizing them and I don''t know what''s changed. Here''s my code: class Product < ActiveRecord::Base has_attachment :content_type => :image, :storage => :file_system, :max_size => 18.megabytes,

I have a model using attachment_fu (via has_attachment) and I''m creating thumbnails for the attached images. I have an extra field ''foo'' that I''m validating on create with validates_presence_of :foo. One problem arises when I upload an image: The ''foo'' is not propogating down to the thumbnails. What should I put in my model to grab the

I''ve got a problem in that users are deleting a paranoid model through the application, including dependents. Some of these dependents are paranoid too, but not the attachments. (I''m using DB file storage.) I need to be able to un-delete these things and I''m now wondering if acts_as_paranoid will work with models that use attachment_fu? If so, in what model to I add the

Hey everyone, I''ve been dealing with Rails 3, Paperclip and Windows 7 for a few nights now and don''t feel like I''m actually getting anywhere.

Hi, I?m trying to build a static theora library for windows from sources with Visual Studio Express.

I am using attachment_fu to create thumbnails, and it is working great. However, I am have a view with all my users thumbnails displayed and am trying to make it so when you click on a thumbnail of their avatar, it shows that users profile. In order to accomplish this I have saved a user_id identifier for each avatar, but the problem is that attachment_fu only saves this user_id for the main
