similar to: Switchtower (0.10.0), ssh and environment confusion

Hi, Has anyone experiences using SwitchTower (Windows) in a shared hosting environment (Textdrive)? I already patched the SwitchTower rake tasks (I don''t know if someone is interested on it), but i still experience some problems (not in the sudoers list, ...). Thank you for answer (and thank you to the textdrive guys, i never had a such fast support!) -- Jean-Etienne Durand

I''ve got switchtower set up, and it seems to work fine except for one problem: It doesn''t successfully restart lighttpd. I have the following task in my deploy.rb file: desc "Restart the web server" task :restart, :roles => :app do sudo "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/lighttpd.sh restart" end This is on a FreeBSD system, so it''s using the rc script to

I''ve managed to get Rails working using Apache->Lighttpd->SCGI. Restarting everything is really difficult. This appears to be the process: - stop apache - stop lighttpd - stop scgi - make sure scgi still isn''t running (it sometimes does) - if it is, kill it - delete all session files (they often cause permission errors) - start scgi - start apache - start lighttpd - cross

Hi, I have a trouble with deploying my ordinary rails application(myapp).

Using partials is a nice way to separate chunks of content into separate pages as opposed to building strings in helpers, but I''m wondering which is faster. It scares me when I see stuff like: Rendered users/_public (0.00051) Rendered users/_public (0.00009) Rendered users/_public (0.00008) Rendered users/_public (0.00008) Rendered users/_public (0.00008) ....50 more times Has anyone

Hi everyone, When I want something to start at boot, I put it into /etc/rc*. The service will start as root, though. How do I make it start as a particular user? I''m worried about the machine going down and me not being around to pick my app back up when it does. I think this would also help my SwitchTower issue of having 8 fastcgi processes running for the app. 4 started by

After quite a bit of searching and coding, I customized an init.d/bash script which allows me to manage multiple instances of Lighttpd server running Rails. It targets the specific PID address instead of the default binary location when starting and stopping /usr/local/bin/lighttpd process. This provides the ability in my case to have multiple lighttpd.conf files running many different instances

Hello ~ Is there a way to determine within a model which controller/action instantiated the model? Thx, -- Ben Reubenstein http://www.benr75.com

i''m using lighty and fastcgi in my rails production environment. standard output appears to get swallowed up somewhere... it''s clearly not coming out of the development log. don''t know where to look for it. is this a byproduct of running in production mode? is there a way to turn this off? thanks, paul

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

Hello, I am trying to make the "switchover" to programming my apps in Rails and have a question about database structure. In the past i would structure a many to many like this: categories ---------------------------------------------------- | id | name | ---------------------------------------------------- 1 Some Category 2 Another

hey all, So, we''ve been trying to get a nice stable config running for deployment with SwitchTower, spinner spawner and reaper, and I have to say, they are, as it says in the title, teh suxx0r. <warning>I''m annoyed, and wrote this while annoyed</warning> ;) The problems are rife: 1. Because lighttpd has no control over the fcgis, the restart process is

At present, I use an update like this to set the user''s last login time: authenticated_user.update_attribute(:last_login, Time.now) However, this calls the following, updating all fields: UPDATE users SET `last_login` = ''2006-05-02 13:27:41'', `hashed_password` = .... Is there any way I can tell ActionRecord to only update the one field? I don''t really want

I have found various posts about instance variables, session variables and parameters (each of which seems to use differnet syntax and have different view on the "best practice") I would like to find a single, reliable source that provides a good overview on all of it. Specifically, I would like to learn how to pass parameters between controllers and how to set session variables so

Hey, everyone. Wanted to post this announcement to the list. This is for a series of workshops that myself and my business partner are putting on. For those that live in the Northern New England area, looking to get some good hands-on instruction into Rails, this might be for you. Oh.. and don''t be too freaked out by my picture on the front page. I''ve got a fairly

I already have a simple role based access control system (User, Role, Privilege, Client) in place for my web layer, which checks User.authorized?(controller, action, client) from a before filter. What do you think about using this method for auth checks on the model layer as well, only with made up controller/action strings? (e.g. "model::Period", "close") A bit simplistic
