similar to: JS variable -> ruby?

I would like to set up a global variable to count how many times a specific method is executed, but I would like the variable to keep counting regardless of sessions, restarting the app, etc. Is this possible? Or... I could just do a simple read/write to a text file on the server, but I''m not finding any good tutorials or examples about simple text i/o... any suggestions? Thanks!

When this exact code was dropped in a controller, it worked great... is there

I have my app up and running at www.domainname.com/controller/ ... but need to get it set up at just www.domainname.com I see that by default, rails is loading the pre-made index file in the /public dir.

I built my rails app locally, and just today put it all online. Getting a "Application error (Rails)" when trying to submit some form parameters to the db. What needs to be done with going from local development to live? I''m not sure if/where I need to set my app to "production" status. Also, is there any way to debug "Application error (Rails)"??

OK so for my first question, Background : I am trying to roll my own fuzzy-time representation algorithm. I want to pull the Timezone from the browser on page load.

I just finished a simple app to queue up e-mail based on an inputted date and time. The app works great, and Rails made building it a real pleasure. The one item I forgot to account for, was time zone offsets. If someone from a different timezone submits a date/time for an e-mail to be sent out... the time in the db currently gets saved as whatever they entered, explicitly, which means the

Hello, I just built openssh 3.8p1 on an HP-UX 11i machine. All looks well except for the timezone. I'm noticing now that when it logs stuff to syslog, it's off by 2 hours for me.
