similar to: What is the working directory for fastcgi procs w/Apache 2?

All, So I''ve discovered that when running on FastCGI with Apache and the working directory for the process is actually the "public" directory under RAILS_ROOT. Is there a way to force the current working directory to be RAILS_ROOT for the FastCGI procs so that file manipulation would then be done relative to RAILS_ROOT? Or should I just make sure that all of my paths are

All, Apache 2/FastCGI on Linux My fastcgi config. file is set up to run the "test" RAILS_ENV. When I go to access a view associated with a particular controller, I keep getting a ENOENT (file not found) error on a custom config. file that I am attempting to load. What I can''t figure out is why it can''t find the file. Here''s the code that loads it in my

I am trying to put some smarts around a call to <%= error_messages_for %> so that when I first come into this page i.e. when my instance variable @target_list has not been defined yet, the page doesn''t break. I''m doing this: <% if @target_list? %> <%= error_messages_for ''target_list'' %> <% end %> I get a syntax error on line 1.

All, Thanks for any help in advance. I have what I think is a very straightforward partial template and I can''t figure out why a text_field call within it doesn''t work. Here is my calling template: lists.rhtml <div id="target_lists"> <%= render(:partial => "target_lists", :collection => @target_lists) %> </div> In the partial

All, I''ve run into a snag. I need to handle the display of elements on my page and I want to use my Javascript event handlers on page load. However, my BODY tag is trapped in my generic layout. I''m thinking that I can put an onLoad on the BODY tag that will just call a Javascript method called initializePage() and then provide this initializePage() call in my specific page

All, I''m building model objects for existing tables that I cannot modify. In AWDWR, Dave says "Note that our join table has no id column...The second reason for not including an id column in the join table is that AR automatically includes all columns from the join tables when accessing rows using it. If the join table included a column called id, its id would overwrite the id

All, I want to run automated unit tests as part of my build. I am building to my test environment. Upon successful completion of all of my unit tests, I would then like to load some data (using a fixture, I imagine) into my test database that will act as fresh "system test" data for my users to play with. What is the best way to "load the standard system test/user acceptance

All, I have all of the components that I need to install RoR under FCGI for Apache 1.3.34. I have: mod_fcgi 2.4.2 fcgi 2.4.0 (developer''s kit) ruby-fcgi-0.8.6 I am comfortable up to the point of installing mod_fcgi, however, I don''t understand how fcgi and ruby-fcgi will be used by mod_fcgi. How does mod_fcgi connect to fcgi and ruby-fcgi. I assume that there are

The ActionMailer/ActionPack gem release is still screwed up. Does someone test the gem releases to ensure that they work? Just an idea. Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

All, I''m having a hell of a time figuring out what is going on here. I''m trying to override one of my getters so that I can format it a certain way in my form. But I can''t seem to get text_field to call the appropriate method on my object. So here''s my getter: public def FAX fax = read_attribute(:FAX) puts fax

I am doing an Ajax call in my page to a controller method like so: new Ajax.Request(''<%= url_for(:action => "target_list_add" )%>'', { asynchronous:true });" In my controller method "target_list_add", I do something and then I say: redirect_to( :action => ''target_list_upload'', :layout => false ) I know for certain

All, I''m finally doing my first real form in Rails - the model object that I''m entering information for has 8 validations so far. If I type in good values for all the fields but one, I get the pretty validation, and the nice field highlighting, but all of the fields are cleared, forcing me to retype all of that info. That is a big drag. Is there a standard way to get the

I''m trying to follow these instructions to include the Javascript progress bar on a page. However, I''m confused. In my controller, when I try to access update_upload_progress_bar_js which is defined in actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/upload_progress_helper.rb I get a "no such method" error. Can I use helpers in my controller class and, if so, how do I

Can you set a global before_filter action in application.rb? So, for example, you could control authentication for all of the controllers in an app.? Obviously, you would need a way to reference actions by controller within this "global before-filter". Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m running rails on RedHat ES3 managed by Plesk with Apache/FastCGI. I''ve followed the directions here: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoInstallAndRunRubyOnRailsOnPlesk And got everything working, but my application refuses to run in Production mode. It runs in development mode despite the fact that I''ve set: FastCgiServer

All, Just musing about this whole FastCGI thing (that I hadn''t even thought of since 1999 when looking at OpenMarket for a customer and even then it was "old"), and wondering when we might see projects/products that attempt to provide Ruby application services in a J2EE-like container. I see the Cerise project - any interesting information on that? I''m assuming

All, I have the following Ajax call: new Ajax.Request(action, {asynchronous: false, method: ''post'', parameters: params_to_pass, evalScripts: true}); The action that I''m calling is using render :update to send back Javascript. When asynchronous is set to true above, then the Javascript is executed (because of evalScripts:
