Does your *shared* hosting account work without errors? I''m interested in both positive and negative reports. If you are willing, please contribute - name of the hosting service - how long you have used them - your experience ("flawless!", "it''s crap!") You *do not* need to reply saying your VPS service works great. This is about *shared* hosting

I moved a rails application to textdrive using their low-cost shared plan. Once on textdrive my app would display ''proxy errors'' periodically. Hitting reload seemed to be all that was needed to get past the proxy error. After discussions with their support people I decided the proxy errors were being caused by apache server restarts -- because there were many of us sharing one

I currently run a handfull of sites on a MediaTemple VPS - which is blazing fast and very cheap for what I get. BUT installing rails and mysql v4 was a major pain in my ass, along with other things. I''m considering switching to a Textdrive business hosting plan but wanted to get some feedback from list members first. I pay about $200 a month quarterly for my MediaTemple service.

I''m interested in making a low volume rails application very available. This means that I would like to have an alternate server for those times when the primary server is unavailable for whatever reason. Virtual private servers are fairly inexpensive so one could have a rails application on 2 different vps systems (not on the same server, possibly not even in the same city).

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''m getting the following error unexpectedly for my rails app. I just exported the databae from dreamhost and imported it on textdrive for my rails app. Mysql::Error: MySQL client ran out of memory: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM comments WHERE (comments.listing_id = 2666) /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:88:in

All - I am considering signing up for hosting at rimuhosting for rails, PHP, and email, and would like to hear some personal experiences with their service, especially compared to shared hosting services like Dreamhost. Please email me off-list at ken.liu.pub [at] gmail.com. Thanks Ken

I''m using a find with a :joins clause, like this: :joins => "JOIN table_b ON table_b.id=table_b_id" The records returned are used in a scaffold generated list page. The edit, show, and destroy links are getting the wrong id. They are getting the id of the table b record. When I run the query using mysql, I see that the query returns *2* id columns, the id of the main

I just created a new rails project "test". I then did "switchtower --apply-to ~/user/test test" I then moved into test and tried "rake restart" and got: kfelkins@lurch:~/user/test$ rake restart (in /home/kfelkins/user/test) rake aborted! Don''t know how to build task ''restart'' I see restart in deploy. Can restart be invoked from the

Hi, I''m looking at getting some hosting to support RoR development. Thus, how would you rate Dream Host?

Every app we build has to be deployed, and the price has to be right. * dedicated servers start at 99$/m (Dreamhost, ..), and shared hosting go up to 47$/m (PlanetArgon) or 60$/m (TextDrive) * Railsplayground: 2$/m * TextDrive dedicated servers : 1000$/m Is there an objective way/tool to measure, test and compare the performance of the hosters?

I''m attempting to deploy a rails application using switchtower. My IT guys are refusing to give me sudo for a user changeable script. I really can''t argue with their logic. If I have sudo for a script that I can update, well, I can do most anything I want. They are suggesting I create a cgi that performs the same function. Since the cgi would run as www-data (this is a debian

Is anybody hosting with GoDaddy.com? I''m about to set up a hosted account for my RoR app and see that they''re now offering RoR hosting. I''d really appreciate hearing from anybody who''s tried them for RoR. Any congrats / complaints / etc. you had / are having would be really appreciated!

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

I have an archive that can have 0 or more extra files associated with it. I would like to be able to edit the associated files info on the same page as the archive info. Listing the extra files info to the edit form is simple enough, but How do I form the text input fields for easy (or automatic) pick-up in the update? Or am I barking up the wrong tree here? -- Posted via

I do web development outside of work and I have three new projects starting soon from a little brouchureware site to larger applications. I have a personal hosting account with TextDrive that allows me to run 3 domains, this is not going to be big enough to host the apps for my clients. How do other people host Rails sites & apps for their clients? All this talk of VPS solutions etc

All, I''ve been looking switching hosting providers, and have been strongly considering TextDrive. Doing a little Googling turns up a fair number of complaints that seem to be centered around server performance, stability and uptime. Since I know a poorly written app can contribute to all of these, I thought I''d pose the question to all of you. Does anyone here host

Is there an easy way to deal with nil properties in templates?

I''m trying to get an application running in a sub directory of a site using apache and scgi. The application runs fine with webrick. I have a site. Let''s call it "mysite.org".
