I''m trying to deploy an app on Dreamhost and I''m getting the infamous 500 Server Error. Nothing in the rails logs because it looks to be happening before it gets there. In the apache error logs we have: [Wed Apr 12 12:51:51 2006] [error] [client 194.80.32.9] FastCGI: comm with (dynamic) server "/home/rlivsey/thatsprogress.com/current/public/dispatch.fcgi"

Hi, is there a really cool website for the latest ruby on rails news?? The official page remains fairly stagnant and i dont know anywhere else to look. Any ideas? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi -- I''m on the road, so I haven''t laid eyes on it yet -- but word on the virtual street is that "Ruby for Rails: Ruby techniques for Rails developers" is now out in paper. It will probably take a little longer to trickle to your neighborhood Barnes and Noble... but you can order it now from the publisher. See http://www.manning.com/black. And trickle it will, too.

Hi, i was wondering if there was any conventional way to find out (via the partialname_counter, or any other way) which partial is the last in a set of partials ( render :partial => ''name'', :collection => ''@somethings'') so that i can display some kind of variable in the last partial. there''s got to be some neat way to do this? (like setting

Hi to all, I''m a new subscriber of this list and a new user of RoR. I''m looking for a stylesheet to make a simple database app nicer, a css to start working with. I have to do some simple apps and I want them to be the more uniform on the presentation side. I know I can do it for myself, but a nice stylesheet is not so easy to perform for a non-grafic geek like me, and so

Hi all, I''ve got an odd issue. I''m new to Ruby/Rails and have a bit of a silly question. I''m following along with the nice little tutorial here, to get an idea of the system: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html?page=3 However, I''m running into an issue where the author adds a new field in his database, refreshes the browser and shows

Hi all, I''m trying to understand the workings of the observe_form function. In my application I have a search form with a number of parameters, and I want to have a live search counter on screen, so as the user chooses different parameters, she can see a live count of how many search results match. What I''m not clear on is how to use the "with" option, and what

How do I do multiple layouts for a single controller: I am aware I can do... render(:layout =>''mylayout'') for individual actions, however this becomes a multiple render problem. I tried this... layout "mylayout", :except => [:myaction, :myotheraction] layout "myotherlayout", :only => [:myaction, :myotheraction] However that doesn''t

Hi, I have a view that I use to display and capture data. Once the user has input the required data, I then need to be able to print the view. I know that I can setup a stylesheet to take care of the page layout but it is not clear to me how I will make the print view call the new layout. If anyone could clarify this or point met in the right direction, I would be most grateful. Regards, Paul

Is there a RoR best practice wrt determing in a visitor''s browser has JS disabled? Is there even a way to find out?

Say i want to include the same chunck of text (a menu on a webpage for example) on each page. Is there a method by which I can save the HTML in a text file and call it up later? Is there a better way? I know ruby has "puts" but i can''t use that b/c it does not work with my webhost (dreamhost.com) Any suggestions? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Let me start with an example: par(mfrow=c(2,3)) for (i in 1:5){ x = rnorm(100) y = .5*x + rnorm(100, 0, sqrt(1-.5^2)) plot(x,y) } Note that there's five plots and six spaces for those plots via mfrow, leaving one row empty. Is there a way to have the bottom two plots centered? I think it looks weird to have them left-justified. Thanks in advance for the help! -- Dustin Fife PhD

Still a semi-newbie, but so far I''ve managed to solve most things with a bit of help from the Agile book, some googling around, and a bit of trial-and-error, but I''m really stuck with this one (very much an Ajax newbie): I know how to gracefully degrade an AJAX newpost type call so it can appear inline or (for those without JS support) go to a new page (put an ":href

I have to build an array through both activerecord and also through a ferret index. I was hoping to find a way of sorting the array as i combine the two so def advanced_search(search_text, store, format, sortby) # find items in ferret index items = Item.find_by_contents(search_text) # and now find all the items from a certain store or category items_from_sql = Item.find_by_sql("SELECT *

Hi, I just setup the Login engine and everything seems to be working... but the change_password action. The fact is that the user receives the mail telling him to visit the app''s change_password page in order to enter a new password, but I get an undefined method error in my controller when rendering <%= error_messages_for ''user'' %>.
