Hi, I have my rails sites tricked out with capistrano, and backgroundrb, so I can easily use the ant tasks, but I would like to be able to start and stop backgroundrb from within rails. I have a few reasons for this: 1. Using fastcgi, backgroundrb would start under the apache user and the same mod_security context as apache, instead of my developer account which has many more privileges. 2.

Hello backgroundrb-devel my name is Teeranit Ruangdet. I''m fairly new to Ruby on Rails so please bear with me here. I''m currently on a project where I need to import a whole bunch of records from spreadsheet(.csv) and save them in the database. My problem is that while I''m importing (huge file...say 5000 employees), no one else can access the website (it basically block

Hi all, I just read Ezra''s article on BackgroundRb and decided to use it one of my projects. I installed the plugin into my rails project using script/plugin and then ran rake backgroundrb:setup to copy the yml scripts. Now my backgroundrb.yml looks like ======= --- port: "22222" timer_sleep: 60 load_rails: true environment: development host: localhost database_yml:

I''m getting the following error (when doing script/backgroundrb start) on my local machine, which is running os x 10.4.11. However, it works just fine on my linux server.

Rake with -trace just says, ** Invoke backgroundrb:setup (first_time) ** Execute backgroundrb:setup Any hints on how I can get more verbosity, or thoughts on what might be happening? (This

Ok let this be a lesson to the general public. If you want to look as idiotic as I do right now do the following: Stay up all night and attempt to debug code the next day without coffee Patch the wrong file RAILS_ROOT/scripts/backgroundrb/start instead of one in plugin dir. Create a patch in the right location containing nothing but an extra space Send it to the whole Ruby community AND file a

Hi Folks, Thank you for feedback and error reports. I have fixed most of the errors that were reported and were valid. I have also removed some cruft that was way too clunky. Here is a brief summary of changes : - Now, you don''t define method process_request method in your worker. Its no longer required. Whatever methods, you want to call from rails should be directly defined
