So, I want to build the greatest online radio ever! (for my, currently crappy, faderwave.net radio station. Right now, I''m running Icecast straight up. The only problem is that managing different DJs and keeping them off the air when they aren''t supposed to be there is a pain. There also is not one single management package that does everything. My current system is a hacked

Hello, I would like to experiment with Xen some to see how I could integrate it in my various web application environments and hopefully make my life easier. I am currently using FreeBSD 6 but it seems that it doesn''t fully support Xen. I did some searching around and also notice some posts on mailing lists mentioning some trouble with the CentOS 4 distribution (something about the

I''ll pose a question partly for fun, partly out of interest to see what everyone else is doing to survive the pain of the day job. It''s for the professional J2EE developer converts out there. Let''s say someone hired you to write a Basecamp clone, but it has to be done in Java, say on the Tomcat or JBoss platform. What does your stack look like now that you''ve

Hello all, I was just wondering if anybody knew whether mechanize is supposed to be thread-safe or not? I didn''t really find any information about it anywhere. I''ve been getting a strange error in protocol.rb when I run a script that uses mechanize in a multi threaded fashion, but not with a single thread. I''m trying to write a spider that does multiple gets in

Hi everyone, I''m building an app in RoR that apart from the normal web interface has a web service. This web service takes a parameter and uses that in a single database query, and returns the result in a simple XML format. This web service needs to be quite fast as it will be used on all pages of a quite big site with thousands of visitors every hour. I don''t think caching is

Hi, i am looking to deploy a ruby on rails site. I currently have some asp.net 2.0 sites hosted using IIS. I have looked at some of the issues with hosting a rails site on IIS and this looks more hassle than what it is worth. I tried it and i couldn''t get it to work. Can someone tell me what is the easiest way to get a rubyonrails site up and running on a server running windows.

Hi all, I am about to start a new RoR project. Which version of mysql is the current best one to use? I will be using the soon-to-be-released RoR 1.0 for the project. I really don''t want to start a PostreSQL vs. MySQL vs. Whatever war. I have all databases including Oracle at my disposal. This project will be my testbed for using RoR with mysql. I will be doing other tests with other dbs

Hello, I''m trying to figure out how I could implement fragment caching that expires every x amount of time. I thought of writing a runner script that would expire the cache and set it as a cron job, but that doesn''t really work because runner scripts act on models and not controllers. Does anybody have any ideas? Regards, -carl

Lately I''ve seen a lot of Internet Server Errors while trying to use Trac.

Hey guys, Ok, basically I coded a ruby on rails CMS to manage a bunch of media files. I am finding that a lot of people are "hot linking" to these media files and would like to prevent this to save bandwidth. Usually in the past, it hasn''t been a problem, I would add something like the following to my .htaccess file RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

Hello all, So, I''ve been using monit with mongrel for a while now, since the 0.3.x days (I think it was). It used to work fine, but now I seem to be having some trouble. I''m currently using mongrel 1.0.1 and I am using the same monit configuration I''ve always been using, yet everytime monit should restart mongrel, I get "Execution failed". For the start

Alright, it seems that I am having a bit of a problem with mongrel. My mongrel processes have been crashing pretty often and twice last night. I''m really not sure why, but I really need to fix it. I am running 0.3.13.3. Here is the mongrel.log file. Any ideas, things to look at, etc... is appreciated. Thanks, Carl PS, do all the broken pipe lines mean Mongrel is serving the static

Hello, I''m just wondering if there could possibly be a memory leak with the latest pre-release? When I run it, the processes keep increasing in memory size and easily pass 200MB and eventually crash due to a lack of memory. Is anybody else having this problem? Thanks, -carl PS, Zed, I sent you two emails directly to your address with logs and other stuff. Let me know if you

Hi Is there some definitive guide for upload progress plugin ? We have in this mailing list a lot of testimonials, bug reports, bug fixes, but there are still people like me who cannot use it correctly.

validates_presence_of :fname results in the error message "Fname can''t be blank". What I want is "First Name can''t be blank". I could do this def validate errors.add_to_base("First Name can''t be blank") if fname.blank? end I find this clunky and I have to put everyrhing in the validate method. Is there an easy to get what I want. I

Hello, I''m trying to get a new application running with mongrel. I''ve been running a number of applications already using it and it''s been working fine, however now I can''t get mongrel to start. The only difference I can think of is that I''m using postgresql for this and not mysql. However, I am able to run the application using webrick. When

Hey Folks, I''ve been rather absent lately, but I now have this week slated for full-time Mongrel development. The goal is to get a few big fixes into 0.3.13.4 and release that, and then get a pre-release of 0.4 out for folks to test against. Please make sure you put any outstanding bugs into: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?atid=5145&group_id=1306&func=browse And any feature

I''m using ruby on rails on a Macbook Pro with sqlite3. I''m finding that memory for the ruby process stays about 20mb until I hit an error after which the mermory doesn''t seem to be released and keeps going up until I can''t use my machine. What could be causing this? is it using sqlite3? have I set up rails or ruby wrong? Tim -------------- next part

Hi all, I have a RoR app which can output a report in HTML back to the web browser, or (preferably) in PDF using the RTex plugin. I have a number of text fields which are stored as HTML, and am looking for a good way to convert them to something LaTeX-compatible, or plain text if that''s the last resort. I''ve seen a number of html2tex-type converters out there, but they are by
