similar to: Dreamhost upgraded 1.1 - app doesn''t work

I''m working on uploading my site to dreamhost. I just setup my production database, and gave it a host name. It said that it was successfully created. Now, it''s been like 25 minutes, and I still can''t connect to it. Is that normal? How can I get my tables created? Just wait it out? I''m trying to load it in the browser, and it says "server not

I haven''t had a chance to upload my app and configure dreamhost, but I did log in and create the folder using the "rails app_name" command. Now, my question is, I read online to do this: > cd domain.com > rails my_app_name So, I did just that. Rails will know what to do even though my application is in a sub-directory under "domain.com"? Essentially,

I''m thinking about signing up with DreamHost for the base Level 1 $9.95 plan. Does anyone think that''s a bad idea? I''d like to know others thoughts, and who they recommend for RoR hosting? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I searched a bit, but have come up short. Are there any libraries for creating popup forms w/ rails? These would not be displayed in a separate browser window, but rather made visible over an open page and adjacent to a clicked link -- similar to the google maps baloons, or the gmail popups. Lots of other examples out there... Thanks --------------------------------- Talk is cheap. Use

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 trying to automatically fill a "posted_by" text by with whoever is logged into the session. How do you set the value attribute using "<%= text_field ... %>"??? I''ve tried: <%= text_field ''post'', ''posted_by'', ''value'' => User.find(session[:user_id]).name.capitalize) %> But I get

Hi, I''m looking for a star rating component for RoR, a bit like Votio (http://redalt.com/downloads/ - find the votio heading) or the star rating used on Amazon. I don''t really need the AJAX capabilities, just the ability to bind the results to a hidden drop down, or radio inputs. Multiple raters per page is also an issue. Any recomendations? -- Posted via

After I attempted to add ActionMailer functionality, it gave the "Application error (Rails)" and now, everything on my site works, except for the part where the Actionmailer ''would have'' sent the email. I took that out now, re-uploaded the file, and ran "killall -USR1 dispatch.fcgi" and still nothing. Everything else works, except that. Any idea what

Can someone tell me how to store the current date/time when someone posts a comment on my blog? I could even update the comments table after the comment is saved in the controller, but I''m not sure how to do that either. Thanks for any help... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

How can I have the page redirect_to the same page after someone posts a comment? I know that you can do "redirect_to :action => ''index''", but the page is located at this URL: /posts/2006/02/01/individual_post/ So, the action is "individual" which is in the "posts" controller, but there is a custom URL mapped for the URL shown above. How can

If I were to figure out how to develop an RSS feed for my blog, I should be able to test that locally right? If I go to http://mydomain.com/posts/feed/, what should I see? The XML output? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Well, when I put: xml.link(" ... /#comment-" + comment.id) I get an Application error (rails) message when I look at the generated XML. This is what I''m doing without the id on the comments (its working fine):
