Is there a way to detect Webrick at runtime? I''ve noticed a couple of differences between my dev environment (Webrick) and the production environment (Apache 2/FastCGI): * stream must be false in send_file with webrick * pwd is different - Webrick: It''s where you run ruby script/server from - Apache: It''s the public directory ... unless someone

I can''t even get Rails installed in Windows XP. I follow the directions in "Agile Web Development With Rails", I download Ruby, then RubyGems, and I install those, and I then type the command that came right out of the book. C:\ruby>gem install rails --include-dependencies and it doesn''t even work: C:\ruby>"C:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe"

Don''t know if anyone else has experienced this but I''m having a problem with the access_denied method in Ezra''s ACL access control plugin. It''s working fine (in conjunction with acts_as_authenticated) until it comes across a user it denies access to, in which case it throws the following error: NoMethodError in Admin#index protected method

Anyone know of a good (fast) way to encrypt/decrypt uploaded files in RoR? I''ve seen this project: http://ezcrypto.rubyforge.org/ but it only seems to encrypt strings and such. I need to encrypt files once they are uploaded, then decrypt them when they request the file back. Any ideas? Thanks, Mark -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to install Bruce Perens'' ModelSecurity gem, but it keeps asking me if I want to install rails too (I have already installed rails).

I''ve found vague mentions of various attempts at creating an ActiveRecord adapter for the KirbyBase pure Ruby DBMS, but nothing which looks like it''s actually working. Anyone know of such an adapter that is functional and available? b

Greetings, I''ve got a rails app which is basically an admin interface to a xml dataset. Currently I''ve got rails rigged to call a function to spit the entire dataset to file with every change. This would actually be ok, its fairly infrequently updated, but when the dataset grows large the user sits there waiting for it to dump with no feedback as to whats going on. Oh yes,

My app runs fine on webrick, but I get a ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished when I try to run it on lighttpd. Here''s the app''s lighttpd config: $HTTP["host"] =~ "(www\.)?mysite\.com" { server.document-root = "/home/pergesuteore/public/" server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi" fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" => (

I am just getting into web servers/web applications and rails as well so bear with me. I am trying to write a web app that, based on a users input from the browser, will perform some task, and update the browser (ala ajax style) as needed and/or provide a way for the user to control the background task. Now, I have more experience with java servlets, which makes this easy enough for a beginner.

Hi there, This is my first post :) I''ve read Agile and Rails Recipes book.

I''m building an extranet which has project folders allocated for each client and client project on a webserver. I''m hoping to be able to read a directory''s content if I give it a path like "/clients/[CLIENTNAME]/[PROJECTNAME]" (where /clients/.. would reside inside the rails public folder I guess) preferably recursively so it will read the contents of any

= About Ackbar Ackbar is an adapter for ActiveRecord (the Rails ORM layer) to the KirbyBase pure-ruby plain-text DBMS. Because KirbyBase does not support SQL, joins or transactions, this is not a 100% fit. There are some changes to the ActiveRecord interface (see below), but it may still be useful in some cases. = URIs Ackbar: http://ackbar.rubyforge.org KirbyBase:

Friends- I am almost finished with a custom live cd called Rubuntu ;-) This is an ubuntu live cd variant that comes preloaded with ruby and rails developers in mind. I already have it working with all the basics but I was wondering what extras people would like to see on this distro. What editors with what configurations?
