I''m running rails on RedHat ES3 managed by Plesk with Apache/FastCGI. I''ve followed the directions here: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoInstallAndRunRubyOnRailsOnPlesk And got everything working, but my application refuses to run in Production mode. It runs in development mode despite the fact that I''ve set: FastCgiServer

All, Just musing about this whole FastCGI thing (that I hadn''t even thought of since 1999 when looking at OpenMarket for a customer and even then it was "old"), and wondering when we might see projects/products that attempt to provide Ruby application services in a J2EE-like container. I see the Cerise project - any interesting information on that? I''m assuming

All, So I''ve discovered that when running on FastCGI with Apache and the working directory for the process is actually the "public" directory under RAILS_ROOT. Is there a way to force the current working directory to be RAILS_ROOT for the FastCGI procs so that file manipulation would then be done relative to RAILS_ROOT? Or should I just make sure that all of my paths are

Gang- We are getting ready to launch our ROR application; the last item remaining is the deployment platform. For testing, we had used Apache + MOD_FastCGI. I am not that impressed with it; sometimes it has strange effects. For example, when we start the application, for about 5 minutes or so, the app is very unstable and it gets better over time. My questions is .. should I go with (1)

I''m trying to set up shared rails websites, so every user has its own public_html for rails scripts. I''m not really satisfied with the fastcgi approach (cgi scripts can sometimes be nasty security problems) so I''d like to try the another approach. (If someone knows a good tutorial on installing rails on FreeBSD including the fastcgi configuration that would be nice).

I am trying to put some smarts around a call to <%= error_messages_for %> so that when I first come into this page i.e. when my instance variable @target_list has not been defined yet, the page doesn''t break. I''m doing this: <% if @target_list? %> <%= error_messages_for ''target_list'' %> <% end %> I get a syntax error on line 1.

I''m working on my first little rails-application. It''s a rewrite of a gallery-script i once made (in PHP): http://notdotnet.net However - my rails-version is waaay to slow :( http://r.notdotnet.net/ I don''t do any heavy image-processing, I don''t have any killer-algorithms with a time complexity on O(n^n), and I don''t use any major hacks. The only

All, In a template, I have <%= text_field :target_list, :DateReceived, { :title => ''uploaded_at'', :class => ''target_list_info'', :disabled => ''true'' } %> Here is the DateReceived method on my

I don''t want to put certain code in my controller because I think it makes things more confusing. What is the best way to manage business logic such that it doesn''t end up in the controller? Basically, where should I put my regular utility classes and backing objects that may not be models? Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

All, I''ve decided to jump into Migrations before I get too far along on the DB side of things. I already have some tables built, and I went ahead and built the migration that would have created them from scratch, and I made sure that there was a self.down section to drop them. I wanted to verify that I could roll back so I figured I would use rake to drop these pre-existing tables

I am doing an Ajax call in my page to a controller method like so: new Ajax.Request(''<%= url_for(:action => "target_list_add" )%>'', { asynchronous:true });" In my controller method "target_list_add", I do something and then I say: redirect_to( :action => ''target_list_upload'', :layout => false ) I know for certain

All, In JSP, I can output strings in the Web page by either <%= foo %> //foo is a string or returns a string or <% out.write("test") %> //write directly to the output stream. What is the method of "writing to the output stream" in RoR? Basically, what is the equivalent of out.write()? I have an if then statement that I want to put around a call to h

Hi, I am just installing a new test environment, but this is just for preparing the next one, which will be a production server. I am doing a clean Debian Sarge 3.1 install with stable sources. I have to decide if I install Apache 1.x or 2 now. I have read that FastCGI is better supported/developed for Apache 1.x. Is this (still) true? What is easier, more stable, etc? I want to run rails

All, I have an ActiveRecord object that I need to be able to uniquely identify _before_ I actually save the object (I may not end up saving the object based on conditions). This is because I want to use the ID in another context (a file name in the filesystem). Depending on conditions, I may or may not need to do a lot of stuff between the time that I generate the object ID and actually

All, I''m building model objects for existing tables that I cannot modify. In AWDWR, Dave says "Note that our join table has no id column...The second reason for not including an id column in the join table is that AR automatically includes all columns from the join tables when accessing rows using it. If the join table included a column called id, its id would overwrite the id

All, Apache 2/FastCGI on Linux My fastcgi config. file is set up to run the "test" RAILS_ENV. When I go to access a view associated with a particular controller, I keep getting a ENOENT (file not found) error on a custom config. file that I am attempting to load. What I can''t figure out is why it can''t find the file. Here''s the code that loads it in my

So having just learned how to do has_many :through as opposed to HABTM, and then, being concerned that I wouldn''t get it to work, I started thinking about these two approaches. It seems to me that the _only_ problem that the HM:T (has_many :through) approach solves that HABTM doesn''t is the issue of the potential collision of id columns between your join table and one of

We had an after(:each) callback that looked like this: PurchaseOrder.find(:all).each {|po| DraftInvoice.find_all_by_po_number(po.po_number).each {|di| di.destroy}} which we were hoping would reset some purchase order data in a certain way. However, because we have "self.use_transactional_fixtures = true" set in test_helper.rb, this code was never getting committed. So, I just

All, I have a left navigation partial that I want to dynamically generate CSS classes for based on the current controller action. In my ERb template, I have <DIV class="<%= get_menu_display_style(''login_form'') %>"> In application.rb, I have the method get_menu_display_style defined as: public def get_menu_display_style(action_requested)
