similar to: Requesting a remote ip in plugin

I have an existing rails application on lighttpd and I am trrying to upgrade to mongrel for the enhanced scalability it offers. I am running mongrel 1.1.1, rails 1.2.5, lighttpd 1.4.13 and ruby 1.8.5 Everything is working great except request.remote_ip returns 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.0.102 (the internal network address of the server running lighty). I''ve seen some older posts about

For some users, request.remote_ip always return nil. According to the RAILS''s help: REMOTE_ADDR is the standard but will fail if the user is behind a proxy. HTTP_CLIENT_IP and/or HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR are set by proxies so check for these before falling back to REMOTE_ADDR. HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR may be a comma- delimited list in the case of multiple chained proxies; the first is the

Is it possible to obtain clients adress in ruby on rails? by TheR -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

to improve forensic log info i want to set the PAM_RHOST value to the remote ip (which pam logs as rhost=foo in failure messages). i didn't look to see if anything has been done in this way on CVS because i'm still on 0.99.10.6. below is a bit of a hack. in some sense the remote_ip might make more sense in the AUTH_LOGIN_REQUEST_NEW packet rather than the continue packet... but that

Hi there, I have a User model and a Profile model. A user has_one profile, and a profile belongs_to a user. The profile model contains a user_id column as the foreign key. The problem comes in when I want a user to register. In the user_controller I have a method that creates the user. I also want the profile model to be filled in with the appropriate user_id foreign key (I don''t care

Hello, Please bear with my inexperience ;) Some tinc configuration examples available on the Internet include a statement like this: "route add -net $subnet netmask $netmask gw $remote_ip", where $remote_IP is the VPN address of the remote host. Q1: Does this statement modify the behaviour of tinc (as compared to "ifconfig $interface $local_ip netmask $netmask")? Q2: If it

Hello, Is there any reason why an IP-phone would pounder on port 5060 ? My firewall blocks the public IP because it thinks the remote IP is port scanning on port 5060. I think the phone is just registering but for some reason it does this repeatedly in a very short time.

Can a ruby on rails app obtain the ip of the server it is running on? I''d like the application to be able to determine x set of data is for y data, for example: These domains all point to the same ip... mydomain-1.com mydomain-2.com mydomain-3.org I can obtain the domain name from the request by using: @request.domain I''d like the application to grab the corresponding ip for

Hello everyone, I am trying to use request.remote_ip in my application to log a user''s IP address because I have been having a lot of abuse issues. basically when a user logs I simply call user.update_attribute(:last_ip, request.remote_ip). The problem is that for some reason a lot of people that have recently logged in still have NULL listed as their last_ip in the database, even

Hello all, I''m very new to Rails and I love it so far. However, there are some things that aren''t so clear to me. Let''s say a blog post can have many comments, and a comment can only belong to one post. A user can have many posts and many comments as well. (this part makes perfect sense): class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :posting belongs_to :user

Using request.env[''REMOTE_HOST''] worked with WEBrick, but returns blank when running behind mongrel cluster. For IP Address, I am able to use request.remote_ip.

Hello, In attached file you will find patch for mail_log plugin to output local, remote ip addresses. It may be usefull for somebody.

What is this? When I use request.remote_ip in my rails app and print it to a web page it says "kok" and then the ip.

I'm trying to figure out how exactly v2.0 should be parsing configuration files. The most annoying part is if it should always just "use whatever comes first in config" or try some kind of a "use most specific rule". The "most specific" kind of makes more sense initially, but then you start wondering how to handle e.g.: 1) User logs in to imap from 192.168.0.1.

Dear all I encounter error when I login my Web application NoMethodError in AdminController#login undefined method `get_title'' for #<Class:0x63ac78> Here is part of my code controller/admin_controller.rb def login session[:user_id] = nil if request.post? if User.authenticate(params[:name], params[:password]) user = User.find_by_name(params[:name])

It bombs out with: undefined local variable or method `request'' for #<User:0x1e146e0> But the request calls work in a

Hi Jeff, Thanks for your reply! Regarding grouping by remote address, I understand and for now I'll keep a close eye. Maybe it's an option to group by /24 for ipv4 and /64 for IPv6? We currently do that based on the logs but the OpenMetrics endpoint seem a lot easier. A slight hijack of the original question: but I tried to log only IP addresses (+ result) of failed login attempts but

An app I''ve been developing has been chugging along nicely, but around the time I added a new join model a couple of commits ago, my development environment has been acting screwy. 1. When there''s an error, the error messages and tracebacks are not being returned to the browser. The browser keeps the connection alive indefinitely. 2. Stopping the request from the browser

Hi, First, I'm not sure if dovecot should alter this, but it seems vpopmail writes the IP into the 'remote_ip' field instead of the auth type. Dovecot still writes the auth type.? I want both. So I modified my vpopmail install to write an additional field into the lastauth table.? My custom vpopmail writes the remote IP into remote_ip, and the auth type into a 'type'

Hi, I''m having a problem getting past the authentication mechanism in rails using my controller functional tests. my functional tests look like this def test_4 $stdout.puts ''TEST 4: cookies is '' + cookies.to_s # :user => {:id => users(:testuser).id} cookies[:user_id] = ''2222'' $stdout.puts ''1. cookies is ''
