Hi, Just trying to get my first database based rails app up on dreamhost.com. The app was working prior to putting in mysql DB usage but I''m just stuck on getting the app working with mysql. I''ve already created the database and can connect to it manually. Below is the error I get after running the rake migrate. It worked OK on my home PC environment. I did change the

Hi all! I''m trying to deploy an application out to a subdomain at dreamhost. I am getting the dreaded "Rails application failed to start properly" error. The logs for my app are empty.

I''m having trouble getting Capistrano to work on Dreamhost. I seem to be having problems logging in, but I can ssh fine to my dreamhost server from this machine. This doesn''t seem like a dreamhost specific thing to me, but I''m kind of stuck. Here''s the exception I get from "cap setup":

Hi, Just setting up capistrano. Have dev & test on my PC and production on a remote dreamhost server. I''m following http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Capistrano Basic question, but are the various capistrano commands meant to be run from the local PC, or from the remote server? Is the idea this is all about production deployment tasks hence can be run on the remote server,

Is there any problem with versions compatibility? A project I started with 1.1.2 cannot run with 1.1.4. Dreamhost recently updated their rails from 1.1.2 to 1.1.5 and 1.1.6. Needless to say I got "Application Error". However when I changed RAILS_GEM_VERSION to either 1.1.5 or 1.1.6, it works. (Haven''t made a thorough checking though.) Here it seems there is no

Hi, Any advice/comments on the potential for hosting some personal Ruby applications from home? (i.e. for learning, sharing with friends etc) Would the basic concept be: * Need to buy a static IP address from you ISP * By a domain name and point it to the static IP address * Run Apache as the front end web server - Q: What basic lockdown/security steps should one take? * Perform a PORT

Hi, Just trying to get Capistrano working to Dreamhost. I''m hitting a permissions issue on the reaper file at the moment. Has anyone a copy of the capistrano DEPLOY.RB file they could post or send me a copy of please? Thanks Greg -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

What pain. I am ready to switch hosts. I have this app in Dreamhost where I load the static pages just fine. The location of my rails app is /home/username/webaddress.com Under that resides the app/, public/ and so on. Like I said I can see my static pages that I have under public since I have in the Managed host panel the following: Web Directory: /home/username/[ webaddress.com/public

Sorry to trouble the list with another Dreamhost problem, but looking through the archives I see nothing that can solve my problem. I have installed my app as per http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Ruby_on_Rails#Quick_Start_Guide_August_2006 with a symbolic link from my_domain.tld in ~/ to ~/apps/residence/public/ I get the Rails welcome screen. I have uploaded my app directory etc, and

Hey, folks. Mainly, I''m looking for some guidance here. A couple months ago the buzz around Rails become too much for me, and I finally decided to give in and learn the framework. This was all very new to me -- most of my focus in the past couple years has been solely in design with static XHTML + CSS. I dabbled in PHP, but nothing significant. Well, I love Rails, and it

I just recently moved my web application to production mode and published it online. While everything functioned ok locally, I have a very bizarre error now affecting my application. One of my controllers, Work, is not behaving properly. Whenever I call the action new, create, edit, or update I get all of the HTML generated to my browser (this happens in Firefox, Camino, and Safari) but the

Is anybody getting acceptable performance with a Rails application on Dreamhost? By this, I mean response times no greater than 3 seconds, and no large numbers of FCGI processes that you have to kill manually. If so, how? I''ve ended up running a constant ping script (once every ten minutes), and still have to kill some number of excess dispatch.fcgi processes every day. Along with

I''ve tried setting up an Hello World app with Rails (no database), on a Dreamhost account. I used the configuration I found here http://www.mail-archive.com/camping-list at rubyforge.org/msg00114.html with the proper paths. But I keep getting Internal Server Errors (500). On the error.log I found this [Sun Jul 22 15:32:07 2007] [error] [client 82.154.48.138] FastCGI: comm with (dynamic)

Does anybody have experience with running ferret on dreamhost ? My app is running ok until I install the acts_as_ferret plugin, at which point I get "Rails application failed to start properly" errors. I''ve used script/console to confirm that I can require ''ferret'' and make a new Index object . Everything appears to be ok in that respect. Unfortunately

Hi, Just wondering what people use for defect tracking generally in the RoR community? Is there an open-source/free online defect tracking site available? I already have my own SVN via dreamhost but am now thinking about use of a specific defect tracking system for defects/enhancements to track them. Note - I''ve gone for Dreamhost hosting. Not sure if there is a specific

Hi, I changed my environmnet.rb to say PRODUCTION mode, however when I start up a server "ruby scripts/server" a) it runs in development mode (via the logs) - any ideas why? b) why does webbrick run - I thought by default now it was supposed to be lightty Tks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to setup an app on Dreamhost and running into no end of problems. The app is running with edge rails and I''m currently getting the dreaded ''Rails application failed to start'' white screen when trying to access it.

My site was working fine earlier, but since the 1.1.5 upgrade at dreamhost it just hangs and hangs and then gives the "Application error, rails failed to load properly". Fastcgi was and still is enabled in the control panel. I had been using capistrano to deploy and it has been working well that way. The application works on my local box which has 1.1.6 running.
