Hi all, Is it possible to configure red cloth to escape a block such as: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello, _this_ works *beautifull* [code lang="ruby"] def foo bar end [/code] ------------------------------------------------------------------ The text in the [code] block should not be parsed by Red Cloth''s to_html method.

All - I am considering signing up for hosting at rimuhosting for rails, PHP, and email, and would like to hear some personal experiences with their service, especially compared to shared hosting services like Dreamhost. Please email me off-list at ken.liu.pub [at] gmail.com. Thanks Ken

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.

Hi, Love Rails... I''m looking for a Production Quality Server that brings the same ease of use as Rails does to web development. I''ve tried TextDrive, and never got it to work. I''m sure there are good reasons why it didn''t work but they are beyond me. I''ve contacted tech support there several times, and it seems that there are so many setups that

Hi all, I''m trying to create a related dropdown box: In my view: <select name="category" id="category"> <option value="">Select category</option> <% @categories.each do |category| %> <option value="<%= category.id %>"> <%= category.title %> </option> <% end %>

I moved a rails application to textdrive using their low-cost shared plan. Once on textdrive my app would display ''proxy errors'' periodically. Hitting reload seemed to be all that was needed to get past the proxy error. After discussions with their support people I decided the proxy errors were being caused by apache server restarts -- because there were many of us sharing one

Hi all, I''m followed the instructions written here to prepare my new iMac for Ruby / Rails developement: http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger When I run script/server I get the following output: harm-de-laats-computer:~/rails/test harmdelaat$ script/server => Booting lighttpd (use ''script/server webrick'' to force WEBrick) =>

I''m looking for a virtual private server to run a RoR site accessing a database on a different machine. This is a small application - basically a form to add records, and a few summary screens. What are the minimal requirements for a vps? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m completely new to all of this. Not even certain this is an appropriate forum for an installation question. I''m just about to plunk down some money to get a virtual server. In looking over the list of isp''s elsewhere on this site, goDaddy isn''t mentioned - probably because they don''t offer rails as a standard distribution. There are some

After developing in Java for years in IDEs I''m starving for a decent ruby debugger. When learning new codebasesI find it invaluable to use the debugger to step through the system and see how things work at runtime. Using RDT in Eclipse is fine but it''s excruciating to wait minutes for the default debugger to finally reach my breakpoints on tests that normally take seconds to

Hey all, I''m casually shopping around for a host that will give me a virtual server running Debian. It would host some of my rails projects and probably some svn. Does anyone know of a good host? Anecdotes about satisfaction would be nice. Thanks, Bryan -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Greetings, Does anyone have experience with Rails VPS hosting? I''m basically looking for a hosting reseller option so I can have control of my clients domains and hosting. I''m looking for something easy to use; although I like learning it all, and am learning a lot, I am most definitely not a command line linux user type as of yet. The one that I''ve looked at

Hi all, I''m following the shop example in ''Agile Web Development with Rails''. I would like to extend the checkout screen, in such a way people can change the number of items they have selected in there cart. In my controller I have: def checkout @cart = find_cart @items = @cart.items if @items.empty?

Every app we build has to be deployed, and the price has to be right. * dedicated servers start at 99$/m (Dreamhost, ..), and shared hosting go up to 47$/m (PlanetArgon) or 60$/m (TextDrive) * Railsplayground: 2$/m * TextDrive dedicated servers : 1000$/m Is there an objective way/tool to measure, test and compare the performance of the hosters?

Hi all, I would like to validate my model without actually saving it to the database. Actualy I need it as follows: User enters user details in a post form. When the user submits the form I would like the form to be validated. However, when validation passes, I don''t want to save the model yet, but I would like to store it in Session context. Is this possible at all? And if so, how

All, I''ve been looking switching hosting providers, and have been strongly considering TextDrive. Doing a little Googling turns up a fair number of complaints that seem to be centered around server performance, stability and uptime. Since I know a poorly written app can contribute to all of these, I thought I''d pose the question to all of you. Does anyone here host

Hi all, I''m working on a Rails application. In this application I retrieve a list of ''brands'' using a method somewhere defined in my controller: private def get_brands @brands = Product.find_by_sql("select distinct brand from products"); end However, I display this information in a listbox in the template for my controller. This means @brands

Hi, I''m in the process of moving my blog over from lighttpd -> apache 2.2 + mongrel.
