Hi, everyone! I have been recently hit by ImageMagick/Rmagick memory leak issues. I know I can lesson the problem by manually starting up GC each time I use Rmagick library but ImageMagick seems to use way too much memory nevertheless. (on shared hosting setup anyway) Is there a decent replacement for ImageMagick library? I used to think ImageMagick was quite efficient because its

I am having issues loading imagemagick and rmagick on webfaction. I have installed a rails app called balder that organizes images. my main problem is that i can''t seem to upoload the image sthrough balder. balder uses imagemagick and rmagick when i use the console and do this: irb(main):003:0> require ''RMagick'' => nil I don''t think rmagick is

Hi there - I wanted to know if anyone has used Rails & PHP on the same production server and whether they''ve experienced any problems. I''m looking to install rails on our production soon, however I would like to know if there are any issues I need to be aware about. Many thanks, Jared.

I''d like to implement a system in a Rails app where I allow the user to upload an image file, and then the app takes that image and manipulates it, saving a thumbnail, small, and original size version of the file to the server. How would I go about doing that? Thanks, Jeff -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Someone mentioned that Rmagick doesn''t work properly on this setup (Ruby 1.8.4, Rails 1.1) Is this true? -- seth at subimage interactive http://www.subimage.com/sublog/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I''m going to be generating thumbnails from user uploaded images. I''m looking around at the libraries available to do this sort of thing and there are three that look promising.

I know that Zed has made mention of the fact that using RMagick with mongrel and rails is a bad thing. I''m currently using FlexImage (which in turn uses RMagick) on my application and really haven''t had too many problems. We get a restart for memory usage every 8-10 hours on one mongrel of twelve running, but I''m not sure if that''s an RMagick issue. Either way,

I can''t for the life of me figure this out. Been banging my head on this since the weekend, and can''t see what I''m doing wrong. This code works: image.resize("640x480") image.write(path) I run this and I get the resized file just fine. This doesnt work at all: width = 200 height = 100 dimensions = "#{width}x#{height}"

I am using BackgrounDRb to resize images after they are accepted into our system. However, it has become clear that this creates a memory leak. I''m not sure exactly where the leak exists, but I don''t think it''s in my own code as it is presently being used in production and has resized thousands of images without a leak occurring, thanks to calling GC.start

We just upgraded to Ruby 1.8.4 and Rails 1.1. It works fine on my Mac OSX, but in Windows, Rails spits out errors like "Invalid char `\002'' in expression". Apparently, Ruby or Rails on Windows has a problem parsing tab characters. This seems to be a common problem: http://softiesonrails.com/articles/2006/04/27/spaces-not-tabs However, the only recommended solutions seems

Hi all, I''ve upgraded my system to Rails 1.1.1 successfully. After much looking I haven''t found out how to migrate an existing application to a new rails version though. What is the procedure, if any, for upgrading the application I''ve developed in 1.0? Is there a script I need to run? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am going for a dedicated hosted server for a rails app I am working on, and have a choice from several different operating systems.

Hi, I thought I''d give lighttpd and FastCGI a go but the latest version I''ve found for fastcgi is 2.4.0 which was released in January 2003. Is this the right version?
