Hello, I''m trying to switch to FastCGI. With CGI everything works, but after have done all the steps of the wiki here (http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/RailsOnUbuntuDebianTestingAndUnstable) My application started to give me "Error 500" Looking at the Apache logs I can see : [notice] mod_fcgid: server /rails/public/dispatch.fcgi(6127) started

I''m rigging up some virtual machines in VMware to test out a new production configuration. Up till now I''ve been using Ubuntu Breezy Server distribution pre- installed on dedicated boxes by the hosting company, but in this scenario I am free to choose whatever OS I want. I''ve had some problems with Ubuntu Breezy (likes to call fastgi - fcgid etc.) and a low

As I delve further into using engines and rspec together I am noticing more strange issues. describe "Requesting /admin/collections using get" do controller_name :admin_collections before(:each) do Collection.stub!(:paginate) end it "should return a collection of collection objects" do get ''index'' response.should be_success

How many people out there are doing Rails development on a Mac Mini? I''ve been eyeing up the MacBook as well as the new MacMini trying to decide if I want to splurge. I''ve been doing very little Rails development thus far which makes the investment a little hard to justify. The Free Mini Mac ( http://minimacs.freepay.com/?r=16778073) offer seems like the best route but

say i wanted to allow only certain html characters from my user submissions, and strip everything else. does rails have a built-in for this?

Hi! I''m planning a booking system in rails, and I have the following issue: There will be room_types. I can implement this with STI in the rooms table, or with a separate table room_types. Each room type will have its special features. For example, a double room can be: -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m using Ajax to create a list of items. Once these items have been created the user can edit in place and delete them. I''ve got the ajax working for delete and removing the element from the page, but the in_place_editor_field doesn''t seem to like being in a for loop. I''ve got in_place_editor working for single items, but what''s the syntax

I''ve got some of this working but other parts are ellusive. I have CREATE TABLE `bags` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '''', PRIMARY KEY (`id`) CREATE TABLE `packages` ( `id` int(255) NOT NULL auto_increment, `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '''', PRIMARY KEY (`id`) CREATE TABLE

I followed the tutorial from Coda Hale[1] on setting up Mongrel/Mongrel_cluster and Apache to move away from my current Apache+FastCGI setup. The mongrels are all working fine, and Apache is proxying all dynamic requests through to the cluster using proxy balance. Strange thing is now, that all my images in public/images aren''t loading at all, if I access them directly I just get a

What is the correct way to mock out the errors on a Rails model? I''m assuming i need to say @mock_thing = mock_model(Thing) @mock_thing_errors = mock("errors") @mock_thing_errors.should_receive(:full_messages).and_return("An error") @mock_thing.should_receive(:errors).and_return(@mock_thing_errors) Just wanted to check the best practice on this kind of thing and how

I''m testing using the rspec mocking framework and rspec 1.0.5 and I''m getting the following strange error: #<Spec::Mocks::Mock:0x337f7c8> expected :set_defaults with (#<Service: 0x19c4040 @name="Service_1023">, {"1"=>"1", "2"=>"2"}) but received it with (#<Service:0x19c4040

Hi, I''ve got the following models: Company Package with a habtm relationship. In my controller, I have a ''dispatch'' action which does the following @companies.each do |company| @packages.each do |package| company.packages.push_with_attributes(package, :sent_on => Time.now) end end my table ''companies_packages'' therefore lists which

I am using the acts_as_state_machine plugin to control state of an object in my app, however when testing this I need to be able to stub out the guard conditions so that state will change when I fire off an event without depending on other models. Guard conditions simply return true or false so I have an instance method: def encoded? <check state of other objects> return true

This SystemStackError is driving me crazy. It only takes place when testing with WEBrick - I can''t reproduce it with any tests. It is caused by calling the "missing" id method (base.rb:2435) on my ActiveRecord class. WEBrick and my tests are running as the same user, with a `ulimit -s` of 10240. Plus the query works sometimes so I don''t think this matters.

Hi, Nice project. I saw the checkin for jbehave and I thought "SOLD!" One question, is there a reason that it cannot be installed using gem? It would make starting the server easy. Other people can also customize the server like they do with Jetty (which I think is the coolest servlet engine because of that). -- Shane http://www.shaneduan.com

Dave, on another topic, might I recommend that you and DHH publish an updated version of the Agile guide right away when 1.1 comes out? You could reuse much of your material and it would do a lot of good to help make sure there is still a good centralized source of reference for Rails. Without that book, there really is not a good one-stop source of information for people to learn how to use

Does anyone have any links to a comprehensive guide on the new routing in Edge Rails? I''m keen to integrate it into a new app and have read the Riding Rails post by Rick but would like to read a more comprehensive guide to its usage. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, Since moving this morning from 0.7.5.1 to 0.8.2 I''ve hit some problems and I''m not sure if it''s something I''m doing wrong or a change in 0.8.2 Basically I dislike fixtures so I have been using a helper method to create an object I need frequently and setting it up in the setup method, in 0.7.5.1 this all worked fine - but since moving to 0.8.2

I''m trying to do, what seems like, a very basic join. However, the association just doesn''t seem to work. I''m sure it''s something very simple but I don''t know what. class Role < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :packages belongs_to :users end class Package < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :roles has_many :users, :through => :roles end
