psitsNOT ("Photoshop it''s NOT") is an over-the-web image editing application made with Rails, RMagick, and AJAX.

Two questions from a PHP guy thinking of moving to Rails: 1. Does Rails have equivalents for PHP''s FTP functions (www.php.net/ftp)? 2. What about image editing functions similar to PHP''s GD2 functions? (I would basically want to be able to crop, rotate, draw lines, add text...) I searched online for the above but I got somewhat conflicting info about image editing and

I''ve just put a new Ruby On Rails application up for testing at: <http://rtest.openprofile.net> Open Profile can be used as a login and user profile module for any Ruby On Rails application. Its purpose is to minimize the hassle of joining new web forums (or anything else on the web that requires you to enter a user name, email addres, password twice, etc.). If it''s

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

The system I am using is a clean install of Mandrake 8.0 which has the gcc version 2.96 installed. I downloaded the wine-20010510 snapshot and successfully ran the ./tools/wininstall. The build seems to have run without problems and if I type: wine --version the correct release number is displayed indicating the install was also succesful. As per the FAQ I also did the following:

I just started using DreamHost, and http://rtest.openprofile.net is the first Rails site I put there. I read the information in their wiki about setup, since I hadn''t used Rails with Apache before, and dutifully added the recommended "froo handler" to dispatch.fcgi. Bad idea. I sprouted endless dispatch.fcgi processes, and had to kill off a handful every hour or two. I

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. I''ve gone through all the ''gotchas'' and troubleshooting docs at Dreamhost and the rails wiki to no avail.

I''ve updated fcgi_watch to version 0.3.1. There''s no real functional difference, but I fixed a bug that caused it to report multiple copies of the same FCGI process as "running" under certain conditions. The updated version is here: http://www.alevans.com/dl/fcgi_watch-0.3.1.tgz For those just tuning in: fcgi_watch is a supplement to (or replacement for)

fcgi_watch is a supplement to (or replacement for) <rails_app>/script/process/reaper. The standard reaper script searches for all processes started with a given pathname using the output from a ps command, and performs an action on them. There are problems with this approach, at least on some shared servers: - The pathname seen from a script is not necessarily the same as the

SessionCleanup is a routine to clear out stale sessions from within a Rails application. A Rails application creates a new session for every connection. Over time, this leads to the accumulation of hundreds or thousands of stale session files or session records (if you''re using a database). These sessions are often cleaned out manually or by the use of a cron job. Neither of these

There''s got to be a simple answer to this... def logout reset_session flash[:notice] = "Logged out" redirect_to :action => ''index'' end The flash never shows up, and doesn''t seem to be in the new session. --Al Evans -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi everyone, I was trying to discover some new plugins, but the script breaks at a certain point: $ ./script/plugin discover Add http://delynnberry.com/svn/code/rails/plugins/?

I''ve got a mailer that works -- about every other time. Authentication fails the other half of the time. There doesn''t seem to be any particular pattern to it -- work once, fail once, work three times, fail twice, .... For example, here''s one attempt from my development.log: Sent mail: Date: Sun, 2 Jul 2006 18:50:57 -0500 From: someone <someone@something.org>

Does anyone understand the SharpenModifier table in pp.c, used in the Block Dering filter? Our general program has been to move any data tables required by the decoder into the third setup (or 'table') packet to allow future encoder flexibility. Yesterday I committed changes to the reference implementation to include the limit value table used by the in-loop filter which is the last

My users need to login to run the app I''m building. I''d like to give them an "Other users currently active:" piece of information. I could track it myself in the database based on login/logout, but that doesn''t really count for people just leaving the computer logged in and never coming back. Does Rails have an API for me to monitor sessions and take a

Hi, i''m striving to capistranize a foo app on DH. Everything is hosted on DH to simplify a bit : - svn repository (http access) - the application - the DB I used the recipe of Jamis Buck modified by Geoffrey Grosenbach which you can find here : http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel_dreamhost I did the least modifications possible. As recommended. 1) When I launch the

Hi, I have one minor issue. I''m trying to check whether a directory is empty given some path to the directory. My code does the following: if(File.directory?(dirpath)) # dirpath = public/images/1 if(File.zero?(dirpath)) FileUtils.rm_rf(dirpath) end end The problem is, while testing this, if I put a file in the directory and run the above code, it still ends up deleting the

Hi, Is it possible to get an application that requires the MS NET framework to run under WINE? I see the MONO site. If I build and run MONO would it allow me to run an application under WINE? Actually I want to do this with a free program called RUFZ to help sharpen morse code skills. Thanks Kurt
