This an open plea for someone with knowledge of RubyGems to explain why RubyGems stays in memory (over 10MB) after a Rails application is loaded. I am unable to figure out why this would be necessary. I haven''t had any response from Jim or Chad from RubyGems about it so I thought I would throw it open to the list to see if anyone could educate me or share thier experiences with this.

I''m trying to install ruby on rails to a host server that I don''t have root access to. The server already has ruby. I''ve followed the info on these two pages for installing rubygems in a non-root user directory: http://rubygems.org/read/chapter/3 http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToUseMultipleGemRepositories rubygems appears to be installed correctly but when

Hey all, I am wondering if anyone has given thought to using REST / XPath as querying mechanism. That way you could have a URL that actually maps to a collection of records (objects, really) that meet a certain criteria and that are sorted a certain way. Mike Pence

I, like many of you, have been searching for a good way to handle running long processes in Rails. So I rolled my own solution. I really want feedback! (I''ve tested this on very simple hello world examples, so don''t use it on anything production yet) . Grab the plugin: http://opensvn.csie.org/rails_cron Here''s the README: OVERVIEW ======== RailsCron is a way to

My application runs a backgrond process and after running for a while I get this error in my logs: #<Errno::EMFILE: Too many open files Lasty, the ONLY code I have that does anything with files is: File.open(image_path, "wb") do |file| file.puts file_content end Any idea what this means? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m trying to use RailsCron but keeping getting an error when I try to run it. I''m a beginner, so please use small words :) -bash-2.05b$ rake cron_start (in /home/jake/rails_sites/testsite) Syntax error: "&" unexpected The little bit I know about my environment: - RailsCron installed as a plug in (not gem, cause I''m on a shared host) - Debian Linux

I received feedback from some of you, saying that it would be cool if RailsCron was even easier to manage. So I implemented a graceful start/restart inside of the plugin''s init.rb. If you don''t like it, comment it out and send me the feedback. Also, I finished an update to RailsCron that allows you to attach asynchronous processing methods to your ActiveRecord models. i.e.:

Hi, I am writing a client-server rails app. The client and server maintain similar databases. Periodically, I would like them to synchronize their databases. For this, in the application, once the user logs in, I want to spawn a background process at the client that first sends the client''s new data and then receives the server''s new data. I am thinking of using RailsCron for

Got another question. It''s unclear to me what "every" means in the background function and how it relates to the RailsCron.create "every": >From README: RailsCron.create( :command => "Object.do_something()", :start => 2.minutes.from_now, :every => 12.hours, # default: 1.day :finish =>

Hey gang, How does STI work with HABTM? For instance...let''s say I have the following models ----- Category < ActiveRecord::Base Item < ActiveRecord::Base Product < Item Deal < Item ----- Each product or deal can have categories. Would I then setup Item with has_and_belongs_to_many :categories, then create a table categories_items ??? Is there a better way to do it?

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

Tracked down the source of my problem... It seems that Rmagick isn''t properly cropping/resizing GIF or PNG images when uploaded via file_column. I can upload JPG files just fine. Originally I had installed ImageMagick via Debian''s apt-get and built the rmagick gem using "gem install rmagick". This wasn''t working so I uninstalled ImageMagick and tried to

Hello, I need to put a script in place for updating a local database with a remote resource periodically. It should be started alongside the server (or inside it, whatever) and be run as long as the server running my rails app is up an running. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? I have thought of editing the environment.rb file and placing the call to the script trigger there, but I wonder

Hey railsers...anyone run into this problem? I''m developing an app which I''m deploying with Capistrano. That being said, I''ve stuck all the file_column goodies in public/system/...
