In a servlet J2EE application, there is an init style method that gets called after that servlet is loaded. Is there something similar within a rails controller context. I am looking for something where I can load and setup a particular object. Also, what about with sessions as well. I would like to call some library when a user session begins and possibly kill that object when the

Well, I wanted to mention my early rails application(in the event I stop working on it). At present it is a link blog, you post a link and now we have a listing of links from different users. Ideally, it has been a week or two. On rails in general, it is really nice, you want to add an action or update a model, you just do it as opposed to wrapping something in 10 layers of XML. The

I want to update my application which was generated with rails 1.0.0 to the new version. My question. I have already updated the ruby gems library and things seem to work.

I have a library that is basically used on the command-line. I am trying to fit it in for my rails application. So far it works, but I was worried about how rails does caching or anything else. Basically, is this an ok approach. So far, I put the library in RAILS_APP/lib/bot.rb And ''bot.rb'' contains a class ''VM''. I have a controller: BotController..

I am working with ruby(activerecord) and want to save a ''hash'' of URLs such that a key is the URL and the value points to a count of how many times it occurs after processing a csv file my question; all I know of is right now is to attempt to save, get a unique error and then when handling the exception increment the hash value (really a column in a table) Is this bad?

Whenever I log-off of windows xp. I dont lose my mapped drive connection but I get an error message stating an invalid password. I enter the exact same password for the reconnect but it wont stay.

This isnt totally a rails question; I am using ActiveRecord for storing some simple values into a database. My problem; I keep gettign MySQL Errors. On the Win32 machine it was off and on. Now on the linux machine (ubuntu) I can'' t connect at all. I have all the password settings correct. My only thought, I am working with Threads and thought that might cause the issue, but I

I know this is kind of a generic question. But, when hitting my lighttpd/rails site on some of the first hits, the site hangs. I think it has something with the lighttpd configuration, possibly something I am missing with rails or ruby?

I''m moving my Subversion repository to a new server. The old server uses Berkeley DB/Sleepycat and if memory serves, it was a lot of effort to set that up -- so I think I''ll try FSFS. Does anybody use BDB and prefer that over FSFS? Or had any problems with FSFS? (I never had any problems with BDB, performance or otherwise, btw.) Thanks, Joe -- Posted via

Hi. I''m using RoR 1.0 with FastCGI and lighttpd on a Debian 3.1 box. I have configured lighttpd to do adaptive spawning of the FastCGI processes. However, after shutting down lighttpd the FastCGI processes remain running. Did this problem occur to anyone of you? Is there a fix? I''d be really grateful for every answer. Regards, Manuel Holtgrewe
