I want to be able to code my rails apps either on my Desktop mac or my Powerbook using textmate. I want to build a Debian server that runs lighttpd, rails and mysql. Would I use samba on the server and access the files that way through TextMate or is there something else that folks use? and should I use subversion and if so, how would I do that in the scanario I''m describing.

Hi, I would like to set up a "shared hosting"-like rails environment on a linux (+Apache1.3 +FastCGI +MySQL) machine. As we all know, rails provides support for different environments. Now I would like to enable my "users" to switch individual applications between development and production mode. In theory, all they have to do is to add

Hi, i''m wondering how to setup a staging site for my RoR app. Right now i run webrick on my laptop to develop, then i svn commit my changes to the production server. However i need to make my development environment available to others and not just for me on my laptop. I have RoR setup on a hosted vps server which runs in production environment. Its on apache 1.3 and mysql. How can i

I''m doing a fotolog for a company. It''s expected to manage about 100k of connections per day and about 1500 concurrents connections. What hardware should I buy to manage those numbers of connections? I''m planning to use slackware + lighttpd + fastcgi, but perhaps we will have to reuse some scripts in php, in that case I would use slackware + apache + mod_php + fastcgi

This could be entirely my imagination, but it _feels_ like my apps are ever so slightly less responsive after deploying with Capistrano. Is that even possible? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/attachments/20060417/73f30cef/attachment.html

I followed this tutorial on the rails wiki about how to get apache with fastcgi working on a vps machine: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoInstallAndRunRubyOnRailsOnCpanel In the tutorial it said to add this to the httpd.conf file to get fastcgi working. <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc/ AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi </IfModule> However

Hi all, I have deployed my Ruby On Rails application on TextDrive. At first everything seamed to be fine. However, lately, response time of my application is incredible slow. Worse, lately there is also a lot of downtime. I have contacted their support desk, however, they do not respond (at all, or very, very late). Has anyone else these experiences with TextDrive? And if so, what did you do

Hi, Love Rails... I''m looking for a Production Quality Server that brings the same ease of use as Rails does to web development. I''ve tried TextDrive, and never got it to work. I''m sure there are good reasons why it didn''t work but they are beyond me. I''ve contacted tech support there several times, and it seems that there are so many setups that

I''ve been mostly lurking here with an occasional nuby question for a few weeks now. It seems like Ruby and Rails and the many libraries and tools growing up around it are a remarkable toolset. Unfortunately I''m finding the whole enchilada a bit daunting. It seems that if one is to truly tap into the power of this thing and do a significant amount of developing, one needs

I have working copies of code in development on multiple places - work machine, home machine, laptop, etc. I can''t always force these machines to use the same credentials; I end up with each machine having slightly different database.yml configurations. With Subversion-Pre-Capistrano, I left the entire config directory out of Subversion (or some kind of template; see

Hi, I''m new at rails and am in the midst of deploying my first app to a test server. The app was developed on windows. I used Capistrano to deploy, and found a few issues: 1) I must chmod 755 dispatch.cgi each time I deploy 2) script/parse/reaper also doesn''t have the executable attributes so the deployment fails. 3) database.yml as checked out from svn isn''t

I just set up svn and did a checkout. When I set up the repository, I did an import of the entire base directory of the rails application which was great because it allowed me to do a checkout on to my computer with everything. Of course, now on my home computer, I''ve got a changed database.yml and environment.rb and the log files (because I''ve been running a copy on my home

Hey, folks. Mainly, I''m looking for some guidance here. A couple months ago the buzz around Rails become too much for me, and I finally decided to give in and learn the framework. This was all very new to me -- most of my focus in the past couple years has been solely in design with static XHTML + CSS. I dabbled in PHP, but nothing significant. Well, I love Rails, and it

I''m having trouble uploading 2+ files simultaneously (from different client machines)... the upload page just hangs... I''m running... - ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i686-linux] - rails 1.1.4 - red hat el 4 - apache - fcgi (0.8.7, 0.8.6.1) - firefox 1.5.0.5 - httpd.conf <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc/ AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi FastCGIConfig

Hi there, The default recipe expects you to be able to access your web server directly from your local machine. On our web server, for security purposes, it is only possible to ssh to it through one particular ip (which is also a remote machine.) The capistrano source is so compact and tidy it looks very hackable. But rather than messing around I thought I''d ask first if anyone else

It appears the spawner in Rails 1.2 will do Mongrel clustering. I''m curious what this means for mongrel_cluster. They appear to overlap in features quite a bit. I don''t think the spawner uses a config, so that''s one difference. Will they be different enough? I only ask because mongrel_cluster could, theoretically, be made extinct if the spawner script has all the same

Hello, I''m not a developer myself, but I work for a hosting company that tries to cater to the needs of developers and basically right now I am trying to create a hosting platform that will be perfect for ruby developers. This is a linux VPS service and I create the base templates to make the system look however i want it after install. I was hoping some of you could give me

Greetings, Today I''ve been working out how to begin using Capistrano and so far I''m impressed. Even in my situation, learning Rails and deploying to a single server, it''s incredibly helpful. I do have one small question though: In using Subversion I''ve used the "ignore" feature to ignore my local database.yml file, because my local database and

I just setup switchtower and I am very happy with it. Just one thing is giving me some headache: My development machine is windows and my deployment host is Unix. Each time I deploy I need to make dispatch.fcgi executable. I wrote my own task for that. But does there exist any smarter way to get this automated ? I think Subversion offers some possiblity to declare a file as executable, but no idea

Is there a way to tweak rails 1.0 or 1.1-rc1 to use less RAM? I''m using a VPS (Linux UML) with < 160 MB RAM and would like to explore ways to make rails run more efficiently under such constraints. Are there articles/tips about this or do I need to look into this from scratch? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
