For those of you interested in such things, I am building a VMWare virutal machine with a complete LAMP stack plus Rails. The project is set up in Rubyforge at http://rubyforge.org/projects/vgrails/. There''s not much there yet, but I expect to have something ready for folks to test towards the 12th of April, 2006. The project name is "vgrails", which stands for VMWare + Gentoo +

My apologies to all who downloaded preview6, it did not contain Rails 1.0 as advertised -- I screwed up! Preview7 does, in fact, contain Rails 1.0 and as a bonus, also includes Typo 2.6.0 as a preinstalled sample app. See the Getting Started page for instructions on running Typo in Instant Rails: http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Getting_Started Also, you can thank David Morton

This release is unchanged from release candidate 1 other than to update the version number in the Help>>About dialog. Instant Rails is a one-stop Rails runtime solution containing Ruby, Rails, Apache, and MySQL, all preconfigured and ready to run. No installer, you simply drop it into the directory of your choice and run it. It does not modify your system environment. This release of

I''ll pose a question partly for fun, partly out of interest to see what everyone else is doing to survive the pain of the day job. It''s for the professional J2EE developer converts out there. Let''s say someone hired you to write a Basecamp clone, but it has to be done in Java, say on the Tomcat or JBoss platform. What does your stack look like now that you''ve

Hi all, I am about to start a new RoR project. Which version of mysql is the current best one to use? I will be using the soon-to-be-released RoR 1.0 for the project. I really don''t want to start a PostreSQL vs. MySQL vs. Whatever war. I have all databases including Oracle at my disposal. This project will be my testbed for using RoR with mysql. I will be doing other tests with other dbs

Hi, In short, RoR is brand spanking new to me, I set up Instant Rails (if you can call copying files "setup") and made my own simple app via scaffold. One table, 11 cols, 100 rows. All is well, except when I view the data, it takes 5-10 seconds to show the page, 5-10 more seconds to get the edit page and so on. Going back to the previous page is no faster (via previous link).

Hi, how does one create a symbolic link within a Rails application? At this time, I can perform this action at the command line but I''m not sure how to do it within Rails. BTW, I''m doing the following command in Mac OS X: ln -s $SITE_ROOT/common_directory/* $SITE_ROOT/new_directory Thanks in advance, -Conrad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

I''d like to propsoe that the RubyOnRails mailing list forks into three lists. PROBLEM: * The list is getting swamped with traffic, making it hard to use and even harder to follow. * Many, many messages get lost, with no reply. * Due to the overwhelming traffic, it''s hard for beginners to get the help that they need, since their messages get lost in the shuffle, and

Greetings all, To all the good souls that happen to know NTLM and Rails.... Short version: -------------- - I''m looking for server code to extract credentials through NTLM dialog with the client (IE) - I found nothing usable/useful (as they both implement the client side code) in - rubyntlm on rubyforge - lib ntlm-ruby by Jonathan Bastien-Filiatrau LONG version:

Hi all, Is there a way to have searches no use some indexed fields, when processing a query? context: I have a model Foo that holds some information in two languages : - text1_nl, text2_nl, text3_nl and - text1_en, text2_en, text3_en Some other fields are common to both languages and indexed as well - first_name, last_name Depending on the visitor language choice I need to exclude the

Hi all, I have a RoR app which can output a report in HTML back to the web browser, or (preferably) in PDF using the RTex plugin. I have a number of text fields which are stored as HTML, and am looking for a good way to convert them to something LaTeX-compatible, or plain text if that''s the last resort. I''ve seen a number of html2tex-type converters out there, but they are by

I don''t know if I missed this on the list, but the Agile Web Development with Rails book is now at version 4.0, for those of us who bought the PDF from the Prag Prog site. Just a few typos and corrections from the looks of it, but can''t hurt to get the latest. You can reorder the book for download at: http://books.pragprog.com/titles/rails/reorder Cheers, Tom

Hello, I''m planning to deploy a hybrid 2D/3D visual fx and image manipulation engine as a server accessible via the Web. So you can send Flickr images to it for all manner of image trickery. My engine uses a little text-based language I devised that is parsed and a resultant image produced. The UI for this service collects the input image and associated params and passes the collection

I am trying to run instant rails on windows xp SP2. I can get the cookbook and typo sample sites to work with webrick but not with scgi. When i click the start with scgi i get a blank dos window and typing www.mycookbook.com returns Firefox can''t establish a connection to the server at www.mycookbook.com. This suggests that apache is not even running even though the green light is

I''ve seen some reports of problems with running Rails (version 1.0 here) on Ruby 1.8.3. Is this true across the board or just Mac OS? I''m setting up a Linux server and want to know if 1.8.3 is ok on that. Thanks, Jamie

Greetings. I love R, we run Gentoo. I want to maintain R packages in the same methods I use for the rest of them; in Gentoo this is in "the portage tree", or in "a portage overlay". I am working towards something I consider suitable for production release, and wanted to ask if there are conventional blessings which I ought to ask of the R-devel folks; How does this usually
