similar to: Monitoring Rails apps?

Hi all, I''m asking this question from the standpoint of a developer with almost 10 years experience with Microsoft technologies, mostly doing server side component and database work. So, I''m not very familiar with the java world. Can anyon tell me how/if java development can complement Ruby on Rails development? I''m not interested in how java can duplicate Rails

Recently there has been a lot of fuss about the ease of Rails deployment. People made various claims, such as "I''ve deployed PHP, Java, (insert something else here) and Rails. Rails is by far the most painful." and "Java deployment (with Tomcat) is easier." I have no experience with Java deployment. But I have a friend who has worked on several high-end software

Hi all, The Rails book talks about running Rails under Apache, but is there a (relatively) easy way to deploy it to either Tomcat or JBoss? Is the CGI servlet the only option?

I''m curious -- how many of us came to Rails from other branches of the OO world -- Java, C# -- and how many of us came from the design or non-OO scripting worlds? Reason I ask is that I''m finding Rails a blast and very productive, but I think one reason is that I already cut my teeth on MVC and ORM during two years of writing apps with J2EE/Struts/Hibernate. And in Javaland, it

I''ve seen a lot of issue regarding the stability of Rails apps. I''m charged with investigation of Rails for my company and I''ve looked at numerous fourms, groups, etc. (Textdrive, here, etc.) and it *seems* like there is a stability problem with Rails (ie: crashes, etc.) Is this as common as it looks, or is this tied to things like Lighttpd (web server) or Typo

Hey gang, How does STI work with HABTM? For instance...let''s say I have the following models ----- Category < ActiveRecord::Base Item < ActiveRecord::Base Product < Item Deal < Item ----- Each product or deal can have categories. Would I then setup Item with has_and_belongs_to_many :categories, then create a table categories_items ??? Is there a better way to do it?

Tracked down the source of my problem... It seems that Rmagick isn''t properly cropping/resizing GIF or PNG images when uploaded via file_column. I can upload JPG files just fine. Originally I had installed ImageMagick via Debian''s apt-get and built the rmagick gem using "gem install rmagick". This wasn''t working so I uninstalled ImageMagick and tried to

Hey railsers...anyone run into this problem? I''m developing an app which I''m deploying with Capistrano. That being said, I''ve stuck all the file_column goodies in public/system/... During my deployment script I chmod -R that directory and everything in it to make sure www-data (the apache user/group) has access to it. In development mode on my Macbook I can upload

I currently run a handfull of sites on a MediaTemple VPS - which is blazing fast and very cheap for what I get. BUT installing rails and mysql v4 was a major pain in my ass, along with other things. I''m considering switching to a Textdrive business hosting plan but wanted to get some feedback from list members first. I pay about $200 a month quarterly for my MediaTemple service.

I haven''t cracked the source of file_column just yet - but has anyone worked out a way to snag images via URL instead of a file upload? Optimally I''d like to have my clients be able to upload a file, or enter in a URL to store as file on the system. Any/all help would be cool. -- seth at subimage interactive http://www.subimage.com/sublog/ -------------- next part

I''m pinging the list to see if anyone is working on an open-source e-commerce engine based on Rails yet - something like OSCommerice I guess. Anyone? Is there interest out there for such a thing? I have such a product which has been extracted from real world code. It currently runs 3 production rails sites in various shapes and forms, implemented as a rails engine. Basic feature list: -

Hello world... I have an interesting issue that the online docs aren''t helping me with. In my app I have 4 models Item < ActiveRecord Deal < Item Product < Item Category < ActiveRecord Item has_and_belongs_to_many :categories... On each category record I''d like to maintain a product_count and deal_count to increase performance. This doesn''t appear

So someone finally named server-push through HTTP-keepalive "Comet" It''s also been implemented in a very nice Java/Javascript library called DWR. http://ajaxian.com/archives/dwr-20-reverse-ajax Has there been any discussion by "the core" about adding this to Rails 1.2? :) -- seth at subimage interactive http://www.subimage.com/sublog/ -------------- next part

Yo Zed and everyone else, I''m having a major problem I''m hoping someone can help with. I''ve been running mongrel clusters for a few months with no problems on a couple of my boxes. They both run Debian... I recently moved one of my older Rails apps on a FreeBSD 5.5 box to mongrel as well. Everything runs quickly and wonderfully - when it''s running! My problem

I''m getting complaints from one of my customers that characters in their text are getting mangled. This happens when they paste data into my textboxes in rails from MS word in particluar.
