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

I''m working on a Rails project that needs to be deployed in the near future. To enable prompt responses to bug reports, me and my coding partner were thinking to use the following SVN repository lay-out/policy. We''re using trunk/ for our main-line development. Whenever we deploy something from our trunk, we first want to make a branch (e.g. branches/1.x) and then derive a tag

This question may be one of those monumentally rtfm/do some more reading sort of affairs. At the moment though, it is not apparent to me how one would go about creating a page that has two very separate rails views (say, a forum, and a "sign up for email notification" view) on the same page. If anybody knows of a tutorial that covers this or can explain why it''s not a

I just posed this question to #subversion, with no reply. Any thoughts here? I''m trying to decide how to manage database changes w/ subversion. I''ve got a large number of production checkouts of a branch (actually, multiple branches). Of course I have a base script to create the schema, and this is updated of course when new fields are added to the system. When a new field

Friends- I am almost finished with a custom live cd called Rubuntu ;-) This is an ubuntu live cd variant that comes preloaded with ruby and rails developers in mind. I already have it working with all the basics but I was wondering what extras people would like to see on this distro. What editors with what configurations? What other tools do people really like for rails development on a

Hello, I am trying to figure out how to use switch tower.I have a local copy of source code and I want to put it on the host.Now I dont want to put directories like config/ because the settings on the host and the one on my machine are different. Any way to do this? Also is svn necessary to use SwitchTower? Vivek -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I''ve been working on my rails app which will be a web app that i want to launch as a business. Being new to rails i''m wondering what professional web app developers do for their development environment. Right now i''m developing and testing on my laptop. I think i''ve gotten far enough along where i want to put it up on a hosting machine to develop further,

I am just about to dive into Switchtower, but had a thought (go figure?). Could Switchtower use be inverted? Could user, clients, or customers install switchtower and "pull" applications? Just a thought. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi there, I''m having some difficulties finding some decent info on getting Switchtower to function for my needs. I''ve read most of the Switchtower doc on http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/97, however it''s not answering some potent questions I have. 1. The doc mentions, as an example, using an SVN repos at http://svn.switchtower.com/flipper/trunk What if I

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

Following the advice here I''ve been trying to get subversion installed and working from my virtual dedicated server this weekend. I believe everything is installed properly, and that all that''s left is to get the apache httpd.conf file set up correctly. to talk to my server with my client I''m using the path: http://svn.mylittlecorneroftheinternet.com/svn/repos/ error

Total Ruby Noob here. Just in the throws of reading the books and choosing an isp for my server etc. If you are developing a "one-off" rails app with the intent of using it on an isp hosted server, would it normally work better to develop and debug the thing locally (like on a Mac for instance), and then go through a round of "move it to the server and retest everything there

I got problems running switchtower 0.10.0 when I try to run "rake deploy" from my local box (windows) to my shared hosting If I set the repository to (deploy.rb): set :repository, "file:///home/[my_user]/repo/[my_app]/trunk" My local box (windows) can''t reach the subversion repository located in site5 If I set the repository to: set :repository,

I''m trying to use SwitchTower to deploy from XP to Dreamhost. Based on <http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel_dreamhost>, my deploy.rb looks like: set :user, ''dankohn'' set :application, "flydash.com" set :repository, "http://svn.flydash.com/flydash/flydash" #set :repository, "svn+ssh://home/#{user}/svn/flydash" #set :repository,

I use Switchtower to deploy my Ruby on Rails application, which works great. However, it appears to be doing a SVN checkout, which includes all the .svn directories as well. I would rather do an export from SVN. Is it possible to configure Switchtower to do this, or can I extend it in the deploy.rb? I haven''t been able to find any examples on the internet so far. thanks, Jeroen

I''d like to get SwitchTower to checkout from different repositories per role? The db role checks out different stuff from the app role, etc. I don''t mind redefining SwitchTower::SCM::Subversion.checkout. But I''m not sure the best way to do it. How would that method parameterize the repository based on role? It''d be something like this: command =

I''ve been trying to configure SwitchTower to perform deployment of my app to a Dreamhost server. I can run rake remote_exec ACTION=setup just fine but rake deploy keeps giving me errors when its checking out the latest revision from the Subversion repository on the same Dreamhost server. It displays errors like this: loading configuration c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/switchtower-0.1

I did an svn up this morning and discovered this whole new bundle of code! Lookingn through it it looks cool, but there''s no CVS support for an SCM - I''d have thought this would be more widely used than darcs. Looking at the code for subversion.rb and I thought it''d be possible to add a new scm - CVS. I''m running into 3 problems: 1- I''m still

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
