I wanted to fix some things up in the trunk, so I set up the databases and ran the unit tests. A bunch fail for postgres, and even more error out. I know of two postgresql adapters: postgres-pr and ruby-postgres. Strangely, they each fail different tests. So if I want to fix things up, which one should I be using? For that matter, which adapter should I be using for production? Finding out

How are you guys handling threads or server processes that have to, for example, process the data in your application on a periodic basis? Cron jobs can do it and then run on the database. But, are there ways to launch threads within the rails application itself. I have heard of WebBrick ways, but I am working with lighttpd, fastcgi? (textdrive if you are really interested).

I''m testing to see if two objects are equal. One is accessed directly from the fixture, and the other is accessed through a relationship.

Hello all. I''m a seasoned system administrator and have no fear of building source packages on a variety of platforms, but RMagick has, until recently, evaded all of my attempts to building it on my PowerBook. Someone else just mentioned that they had trouble with RMagick on OS X (Intel, don''t really know if my advice will help) so I decided to post a HOWTO to the list. I

Anyone know (and this maybe out in left field) if there is some online (perhaps xml) or other data stream I can connect with in my code to output values based on user selection ? TIA Stuart

This release of Mongrel features a CGIWrapper that actually works. The previous code was complete garbage so this one should fix the problems with sessions, cookies, and content-types people reported previously. There is also now a correctly built Win32 gem created by Luis Lavena. Luis joined the Mongrel project and will be working on the Win32 specific gear needed. His first thing is going to
