New to rails so please bear with me. Am having difficulties with the flickr plugin. trying to follow the video as a starter, and keep hitting the following problem when I require ''flickr'' in the environment.rb file testbed:/srv/www/htdocs/carstuff # ruby script/server => Booting WEBrick... /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/xml-simple-1.0.7/lib/xmlsimple.rb:274: warning:

I''ve been unserializing XML in PHP with the XML_Serializer class, and I''m wondering if anyone knows of such a class for Ruby. Nothing fancy, just perhaps a simple way of converting arbitrary XML to a Ruby object. Maybe this has been implemented somewhere already? Thanks, Raymond

I encountered this problem yesterday so, I decided to build the whole /app directory over but got the same thing again. what I did- I build the MVC files for ''abc'', included abc.rb in /lib, appended environment.rb with ''require abc'' and the service worked fine. And then I did the same for ''xyz'' and ran the server but it failed. both abc.rb and

Hi, I''ve already posted my problem a few weeks ago on several forums, or lists. I still have the same problem: I have a SuSE 9.0 machine, Apache 2.x, ruby 1.8.4 I wanna get RoR working with fastCGI. I have installed different versions of fastCGI, have checked the permissions of the fcgi-ipc directory, reinstalled everything and it still doesn''t work. In the browser window I

Here is the situation: We have one rails app that is built around our fairly large DB. Since we have many models and logic inside those models, it makes sense for us to build only one rails app and share it among several different sites (Public web site, internal data backend, etc). The thing I can''t quite get my head around is how to forward requests (using lighty) from different

I am using XmlSimple to parse an XML string received from a remote host. I am getting the error message, "File does not exist: .". I am fairly well convinced that the problem is that XmlSimple is not recognizing the received XML string as being valid XML and is therefore looking for a file by that name (which, of course, does not exist). The XmlSimple documentation says that it

When I post the XML data as the message content to my rails website, I can see the exception info in the log file. The error message is "can''t typecast" the element name in my xml document. The first line in backtrace is: "c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.3/lib/action_controller/cgi_ext/cgi_methods.rb:111:in`typecast_xml_value''" Please give

Hello all: I am in the process of redesigning my site and was thinking about incorporating RoR into the overall structure. However, there are multiple things I would like to create with Rails, namely a gallery, a weblog, and portfolio management system. Given that I am going to be using a lot of RoR, what is the best way to accomplish this task? Here are some random things that have come

I''m trying to help the sys admins of my server figure out what is up with our Rails installation (debian sarge - completely up to date). Hitting a simple page yields 31,000 failed stat64''s and takes anywhere from 8 - 44 seconds. They #! for ruby is correct everywhere, but it''s like it can''t find Rails. These are box stock standard installs. Here''s

I''ve been working through the Flickr tutorial, and it looks like I installed the Flickr gem with the require xml-simple gem without problems. But when I got to the point in the demo when it was time to submit the form, I got an error with the message "uninitialized constant Flickr". I did some poking around at the gem repository, and ran ''ruby

I''ve got a block of code that''s turning out.. well - just plain ugly. So i know I must not be doing it the Ruby way. The main problem I''m having is in dealing with handling errors - and just not finding much Rails documentation that gives a deeper understanding of how to handle errors in Rails (outside of several docs on the catch-all''s) the main method

Greetings! I have a bunch (thousands) of XML files that I want to process. I want to extract a limited set of data from each and put that data, along with the XML file''s id, into MySQL so that users can do a structured search for (and thus retrieve) specific XML files.. I''ve got some Perl scripts I put together using XML::Simple to do the extraction of the data into CSV files,

Hi all, My site uses subdomains to define an item. Eg http://itemname.mysite.com I fetch the itemname and render the appropriate site from that itemname.
