similar to: RoR with Apache2 - performance?

And compared to PHP? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

What are the different parts of; class TestController < ActionController::Base? I look at the http://api.rubyonrails.org/ and try to understand but I don''t. Could someone give me a hint? I get the part of Test being the "folder", def and all that, but I can''t find an explanation of the basic stuff. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, After following advice from you good folks, I gave mongrel a try in a cluster design based on the example on the Mongrel website - and it worked right out of the box which is great - and it''s very fast :) I have got a bit stuck though. I have two MS Word files in /public/files/. I can pull back these files no problem but it isn''t sending a mimetype. I think I have two

Are there any other tutorial than "Agile Web Development with Rails" that you can suggest? So far I can''t say that RoR has been easy to learn. :-) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This is so frustrating. Is RoR that easy to learn or is it hype or is it just me? I wonder how many newbies like me are surfing the docs trying to get a clue of the basics. Every tutorial I find is much the same, and seems to skip the fundmental parts. How should you understand the Ruby API http://api.rubyonrails.org/? What is < ActionController::Base? Can''t I set a cookie under

I''m trying to get Lighttpd started, and understand how it works (not quite there yet with Ror). Some questions: 1) Can I run Lighttpd as a main server instead of Apache2? 2) When hosting different RoR projetcs, will there be one server for each? Or is it one server running all? 2) Can it do everything Apache can? Like PHP, webdav, etc? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, Have been pulling out my hair for the last few days wondering what I''m going to deploy my site onto. I currently have FreeBSD 4.7, Apache 1.3.3, PHP 4 and MySQL 4 running a year-old PHP site. Dated stuff I know! The new version of the site will be entirely Ruby on Rails, and I am wondering what order I should be doing things in terms of upgrades and installation. I want to be

Could someone please explain the relationship, if any, between the RoR application directory / name (generated by ''rails appname'') and the internet domain name it will be hosted under? If my web site is www.mydomain.com, does my RoR appname need to be ''mydomain''? Thanks, Bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I''ve tried a bunch of things trying to get ruby/apache2 and php working together. I looked over my earlier post and followed the instructions on ezra''s website to install lighttpd on debian. I''ve gotten really far but I think there is one bit missing: 1. I got apache2 and php working together 2. I got lighttpd working on port 3000 and my rails app launches ok

Folks: I''ve posted a really basic e-mail address verifier to http://wiki.rubygarden.org/Ruby/page/show/VerifyEmailAddress I''d appreciate folks who understand DNS and SMTP having a look at it to see if it looks reasonable. You could comment here or, possibly more usefully, comment on the wiki page itself. Thanks Dave

Hi all, I''m a web designer/-developer. I found Ruby and Ruby on Rails, and as I can understand (for now) this is what I''ve been looking for. I''m really exited about this. Prior to this I''ve used Lasso and PHP. But a few questions (sitting on Mac OS 10.4.6). I tried to install according to this:

In an migration file there is one up and one down method. Below is from Agile Web Development with Rails: class CreateOrderHistories < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :order_histories do |t| t.column :order_id, :integer, :null => false t.column :created_at, :timestamp t.column :notes, :text end end def self.down drop_table :order_histories end end Why is there a drop

I see that the RubyOnRails.com site has migrated to Mongrel with Apache as a front-end proxy. Is that now the/a recommended setup for Rails apps? We''re still using FCGI but I''m always interested to learn more about other folk''s successful deployment choices. Across all of our sites we''re pumping out about 300k pages per day so anything that saves memory or has

When creating a scaffold you get a layout file. How does it work? I thought I would find the var @content_for_layout in the controller, but I didn''t. Where is layouts defined or controlled? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Or maybe I crash it and don''t know why. Here is the setup: I have an action that will crash my debian sarge development box using fcgid, fastcgi and scgi running with Apache2, as well as fastcgi running with lighttpd, every time. Here is the action from the controller: ------------------- def crashme @orders = Order.find(:all, :order => "`id` ASC", :offset

I have moved my project to a dedicated server and I am getting a very annoying behaviour. I am able to view the site just fine when using the ip. The name is properly resolved on my computer, however I am getting "Bad Gateway The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server." This is simply random. The site works for several minutes, then i get this message for some

I''ve poured over many docs online and thought it would be wonderful to get RoR running in 15 minutes. Well after 15 hours, I''m completely stuck and ready to give up on RoR. I''m hoping somebody can give me some guidance. I''ve pulled out my hair and am bald like others who have tried to get RoR running without any luck. When I run

Hi All, Just about to set up RoR on our server and was wondering what the ideal setup for RoR is these days? Apache 1? Apache 2? fCgi? Any guidance would be helpful! Thanks, -Adam

In http://www.aidanf.net/rails_user_authentication_tutorial there is the string/method protected in the model. What does it do? Can''t find that in http://api.rubyonrails.org/. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I followed hivelogic article on how to install Ror and Lighttpd on Mac OS. http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger But I''m not sure I got Lighttpd in the right place. If I do "which lighttpd" and "lighttpd -v" I get answers from the terminal: /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd lighttpd-1.4.11 - a light and fast webserver But I
