Hi All, I am a newbie in Ruby-Rails. Actually we are using postgre SQL and Ruby application to access the DB. I have made the controller and the model classes. My database.yml contains: development: adapter: postgresql database: test username: poc password: poc host: localhost:5000 test: adapter: postgresql database: test username: poc password: poc host: localhost:5000

Hello people... In the rails2.pdf Dave T says: Rails works with the DB2, MySQL, Oracle, Postgres,... The database drivers are all written in C and are primarily distributed in source form. Then he lists this site: http://ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/ Then he says, There is a pure-Ruby version of the Postgres adapter available. Download postgres-pr from the Ruby-DBI page at

I have a module located at /etc/puppet/environments/test/modules/ruby. I n this I have a manifests folder with two .pp files - init.pp and gemInstall.pp. In one of my node def files I have: include ruby ruby::gemInstall { ''someGem-version.gem'': path => ''/path/to/agent/local/gem/repo'', } ruby::gemInstall is a define, and it has some logic to get around

A lot has been made recently about the need to freeze your gems for production deployment on a shared server so your application can depend on it''s own gem version instead of being subjected to whatever gem is installed on the server, but does this rule of thumb come with an exception? Architecture dependent gems such as RMagick, Ferret and Unicode have dependencies that cannot be

All, Trying to upload multiple files. Form: <% index = 0 for @image in images do %> <TR> <TD> <%= @image.path.split(''/'').last[0..39] %>: <% if ((! @image.path.nil?) && (@image.path.length > 40)) %> <%= h("...") %> <% end %> </TD> <TD> <%=

I am checking the file size of an uploaded file and storing it in a filesize column. It will work just fine when the user uploads any files other than images (jpg,png,gif). Word, Excel, Powerpoint, .zip and more all work fine. This is my model asset.rb that handles the file upload. def newfile=(newfile_field) self.filename = base_part_of(newfile_field.original_filename) self.filetype

Hi all, I was wondering about the class used when rails receives file uploads. Sometimes it appears to be a File, and other times it is a StringIO. Also it has methods such as original_filename that don''t appear to belong to either of these classes. I ask because I''m trying to work out how to test my fil upload related models and controllers. Is there some standardised way of

Is there a simple way of forcing file_column to download file from given (ex. in form) url instead of uploading it manualy? I know: http://blog.caboo.se/articles/2006/01/09/file_column-magick-and-versions require ''open-uri'' Attachment.find_first.filename = open(url) if not working as expected... what is interesting is that: >> @a =

Hi, i have small problem when you upload file by input type=file to rails then in rails it is represented by one of following StringIO, File, Tempfile Is it all?

Hi: I love Locomotive and use it exclusively for my rails projects. I''d like to install GRUFF and give it a try (a graph image creation package). I know I can do sudo gem install gruff from the command line for normal ruby and rails. How do I make gems available to Locomotive? bruce

I''ve seen posts of a few people who have this problem, but not a single response about solving it. I can''t upload .png files, but .jpg and .gif work fine. When I upload just a .png, my action gets a StringIO object which breaks when I try to copy the upload to an absolute location. However, using multiple-field upload, as long as one of the to-upload files is *not* a .png, all

Dear all, is there a good way to create SVG plots with R whose elements have titles (tooltips) or act as hyperlinks? I am using the RSvgDevice package, which works great - but it doesn't seem to support the notion that plot objects have titles or are act as hyperlinks, so I am helping myself by giving the objects funny unique colors and then postprocessing the .svg file. I wonder

Hi, I was trying to get hyperlinks using xtable, but couldn't get the hyperlinks to function properly. For example, if I use ## Try to link NY times website to every figure in column 4 mat <- matrix(1:43,6,5) mat[,5] <- "http://nytimes.com" for(i in 1:nrow(mat)){ strr <- paste('<a href="', mat[i,5],'">', mat[i,4], '</a>',

I need to send an ics file to a web service, so however it gets there it will arrive as a string. Is there another way to begin Icalendar''s Parse than with a file? I''m currently sending the file using the curl command... curl -v --data-urlencode ics at invite.ics http://127.0.0.1:4567/ics2event I''ve tried curl''s --data-binary and sinatra''s

Hi, I''m trying to use mongrel 0.3.13 with Rail 1.0 Believe it or not, on OS/X it works well for weeks at a time. On linux I''m getting Input/output errors after anything from a few hours to days, never more than a week. Once they start they don''t stop. The only pattern I''ve seen is that it always (seems) to happen while rendering an rhtml file.

I don''t understand why my program does not get the file that I try to upload. It returns the following error when I try to upload a small file: NoMethodError in LogfileController#create You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! The error occured while evaluating nil.original_filename #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/logfile.rb:9:in `file=''

Hi all, I am developing an application which uses up a lot of memory because om multiple threads executing in one time. I am using BackrounDRB for the purpose.

Hi I hope someone can shed some light on this have searched a lot but found nothing definite. This happens on Ubuntu and Fedora 2. I am having a problem with uploading small files (images gif or jpeg under 19k). According to ruby documentation these are stored temporarily as StringIO objects rather than temporary files (as is done with the larger file uploads). The problem is that when it

Hey Folks- I''m trying to setup a new test/spec harness for testing Merb. I was wondering if there is a way to mock the Mongrel request, response objects easily to test my handler without actually running a server? I can easily do the env hash but I''m not entirely sure what needs to go in the request StringIO object that gets passed into my mongrel handler''s
