I currently have a dedicated server at ev1servers, but it''s getting rather antiquated (Redhat 9) and am looking to upgrade. I''m thinking about serverbeach.com - one of their CentOS servers. Anybody have any recommendations for dedicated servers on which to run Rails? Hopefully less than $200/month. Thanks! CSN __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi All, I''m hosting with MediaTemple who are currently using 0.3.3 of mongrel on their GridServer. My rails app has an image upload facility whereby if you upload a large image (e.g. 5Mb) mongrel crashes. I''ve requested an upgrade to the latest version of mongrel but don''t believe that''s going to happen too soon. I''m not getting too much

Hi I am happy to announce the 0.3.1 release of ActiveRBAC Engine. The biggest improvement on the 0.3 release is that it runs with Rails 1.1 now. Get your personal copy now from https://activerbac.turingstudio.com/releases :) There is a manual PDF with a tutorial available at https://activerbac.turingstudio.com/releases/ActiveRbacManual.pdf which is also included in the full

Hi, Which FTP client would fit in nicely with OS X and Textmate. Thanks, Peter

Hi, I am very new to this so please go easy on me... I am trying to deploy my app on dreamhost and I seem to be having problems getting it working. One of the troubleshooting items on the wiki states: Rails apps in production mode do not reflect changes made after they start running. So, if you found a bug, fixed it and nothing appeared to happen--this is probably because you

Hi How do I publish a plugin so I can download it via ./script/plugin. I''ve put my plugin (ActiveRBAC) on http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/ pages/Plugins but seemingly ./script/plugin discover does not find it :/ Even if I do ./script/plugin source \ https://activerbac.turingstudio.com/source/active_rbac/trunk/ active_rbac it does not appear on ./script/plugin list.

Hi, I am using Mongrel with my own XmlRpcHandler and I get sporadic "500" errors from Mongrel. The handler wraps around the xmlrpc/server module and I am pretty sure that the error is mine and neither in mongrel or xmlrpc/server. I catch all exceptions in my xmlrpc/server handler and do not send out 500 http answers from there. Thus, I expect the problem is in my handler.

This may be offtopic to Rails, but what are people doing to find records based on fuzzy string matches? For example, if you wanted to find a Person with name "David Heinemeier Hansson" but searched using the string "Dave Hansson". Currently I am find_by_sql that calls the PostgreSQL function "levenshtein(string1, string2)" which returns results with a score

OK, general question for the community -- what''s the coolest startup using Rails? I don''t think "37 Signals" is a fair answer. I''m curious as to what kind of other developments are happening. Are there a lot of startups using Rails in the first place? Or do most of you who are lucky enough to do Rails for a living (I''m coding Java, bleah) work in large

I''m getting the following error unexpectedly for my rails app. I just exported the databae from dreamhost and imported it on textdrive for my rails app. Mysql::Error: MySQL client ran out of memory: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM comments WHERE (comments.listing_id = 2666) /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:88:in

I moved a rails application to textdrive using their low-cost shared plan. Once on textdrive my app would display ''proxy errors'' periodically. Hitting reload seemed to be all that was needed to get past the proxy error. After discussions with their support people I decided the proxy errors were being caused by apache server restarts -- because there were many of us sharing one

I started a php-based website a few months ago with a buddy of mine on netfirms.com. I was perusing their knowledge base and I came upon a quick-start for something called Ruby on Rails. Since then I have immersed myself in RoR. I''ve done the tutorials, I''ve purchased the books. But, I could never get even a sample RoR app to work on netfirms. 500 server errors.

Every app we build has to be deployed, and the price has to be right. * dedicated servers start at 99$/m (Dreamhost, ..), and shared hosting go up to 47$/m (PlanetArgon) or 60$/m (TextDrive) * Railsplayground: 2$/m * TextDrive dedicated servers : 1000$/m Is there an objective way/tool to measure, test and compare the performance of the hosters?

I currently run a handfull of sites on a MediaTemple VPS - which is blazing fast and very cheap for what I get. BUT installing rails and mysql v4 was a major pain in my ass, along with other things. I''m considering switching to a Textdrive business hosting plan but wanted to get some feedback from list members first. I pay about $200 a month quarterly for my MediaTemple service.

All, I have some data that I need to be able to see across the application. For J2EE people out there, I need something that I want to have available in the "application scope" of my app. What is the best way to handle this? I''m trying to access a class variable that I created in my controller from my view (to no avail). Create a class variable in my helper class and use

All - I am considering signing up for hosting at rimuhosting for rails, PHP, and email, and would like to hear some personal experiences with their service, especially compared to shared hosting services like Dreamhost. Please email me off-list at ken.liu.pub [at] gmail.com. Thanks Ken

I''ve been scouring the net looking for different hosting solutions, but have so far only found one site that has what I''m looking for. I would like to be able to host both a subversion repository for development and my rails application(s) all in one location. So far, I''ve only found a company called AVLUX (http://avlux.net/host.php) that has this. Does anyone know of

Just wanted to let everyone know that I just posted an updated CHM file that contains documentation for Rails Version 1.0. You can read all about it here<http://www.delynnberry.com/articles/2006/02/07/rails-chm-documentation-version-1-0>. I plan to continue updating the CHM file as newer versions of Rails are announced, but I also want to finish an article that includes a rake file that will

Does your *shared* hosting account work without errors? I''m interested in both positive and negative reports. If you are willing, please contribute - name of the hosting service - how long you have used them - your experience ("flawless!", "it''s crap!") You *do not* need to reply saying your VPS service works great. This is about *shared* hosting

Hello everyone, I''ve got a Rails app that''s going to replace an in-house application, where the customers are used to having to deal with maintaining their own servers and data. As these are non-IT customers, maintaining servers and data is a long way from their core business and thus quite costly for them. I''m hoping to slice their costs by removing the requirement
