similar to: Managing Database Alter Scripts

I''ve been reading through the lucene, ferret, and aaf docs, but I''m still a bit new at full text indexing. When I create a new instance of an indexed model, and save it, it doesn''t show up in searches. Should I have to update the index of the entire model (which works) before it will return in queries?

I''m trying to highlight keyword snippets using the highlight method of the results returned from find_by_contents (the actual models), but always come up with an empty array. Any ideas what could be going wrong? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am familiar with using RoR in a pure development environment, that is to say that I can create a local project, access it via a web browser, update the database, etc. However, I''m having trouble figuring out how to best set up things with actual deployment in mind. Forgive me if this has been asked before, I couldn''t find it easily. Right now I have a subversion repository

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

SwitchTower is a utility that can execute commands in parallel on multiple servers. It allows you to define tasks, which can include commands that are executed on the servers. You can also define roles for your servers, and then specify that certain tasks apply only to certain roles. Manual: http://manuals.rubyonrails.org/read/book/17 Project:

I''m trying to use SwitchTower to deploy from XP to Dreamhost. Based on <http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel_dreamhost>, my deploy.rb looks like: set :user, ''dankohn'' set :application, "flydash.com" set :repository, "http://svn.flydash.com/flydash/flydash" #set :repository, "svn+ssh://home/#{user}/svn/flydash" #set :repository,

I am using the shovel deploy.rb from http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel I have SwitchTower-ized my app, copied the shovel deploy.rb file and put my settings in it. But when I run "rake remote_exec ACTION=setup_lighty" from the local app root it has no effect. It should prompt for a password for at least throw an error? I just get returned to the DOS prompt. If I do "rake

Just loaded up Switchtower 1.0 today, via gems. I''m on OS X (10.4.5), with ruby and friends installed via darwinports in opt/local. After installing ST, I switchtowerized my app, set up the deploy recipe, then ran: rake remote_exec ACTION=setup When I do, i get this error: rake aborted! uninitialized constant SwitchTower Obviously, this happens with any of the tasks in ST (like

I''m trying to set up switchtower, following the info in the Manual, but am getting this error when I run "rake remote_exec ACTION=setup": servers: ["cantona.dnswatchdog.com"] /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/net-ssh-1.0.3/lib/net/ssh/transport/packet-stream.rb:203:in `sysread'': bignum too big to convert into `long'' (RangeError) from

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

Hi there, I''m having some difficulties finding some decent info on getting Switchtower to function for my needs. I''ve read most of the Switchtower doc on http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/97, however it''s not answering some potent questions I have. 1. The doc mentions, as an example, using an SVN repos at http://svn.switchtower.com/flipper/trunk What if I

I am just about to dive into Switchtower, but had a thought (go figure?). Could Switchtower use be inverted? Could user, clients, or customers install switchtower and "pull" applications? Just a thought. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

When I define :db to be a different server than either :web or :app, and run "rake deploy". Switchtower will abort with an Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed error. The version of Switchtower I''m using is 1.0.0 and the deploy task is the default supplied with Switchtowe. However, I dont have any problem when :db is changed to the same as :web and :app. -------------- next part

Installation: gem install capistrano Manual: http://manuals.rubyonrails.org/read/book/17 Version 1.1 introduces a few changes: * Renamed!

I''m working on a Rails project that needs to be deployed in the near future. To enable prompt responses to bug reports, me and my coding partner were thinking to use the following SVN repository lay-out/policy. We''re using trunk/ for our main-line development. Whenever we deploy something from our trunk, we first want to make a branch (e.g. branches/1.x) and then derive a tag

I''m trying to deploy a rails app with no success. I can execute: ''rake remote_exec ACTION=setup'' but when I try to execute : ''rake deploy'' I got this error: loading configuration c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/switchtower-0.10.0 /lib/switchtower/recipes/standard.rb loading configuration ./config/deploy.rb executing task deploy transaction: start

I''m developing on Windows and deploying to FreeBSD+lighttpd using Switchtower and I''ve got things generally working. My problem now is that file_column data gets zapped every time I deploy, because Switchtower creates a whole new myapp/public directory with each rev. I looked through the file_column docs and found the :root_path option, which I use in my models as follows:
