Hi! I''m trying to use a primary key made up of two columns in my model''s table. But looking at the docs, it looks like ActiveRecord only supports using one field as primary key. Can anyone point me in a direction of this or verify that it''s not supported? Greetings, Gitte Wange

For a project I''m working on I''m hoping to be able to have both discussion and announce-only e-mail lists. Does anybody have any recommendations about good existing mailing list apps that could be integrated with a rails app? Does anybody have any experience using ActionMailer as the basis for a mass mailer? Does it perform well enough to make it feasible? Thanks! -- Dan

Hello, I''ve spent a couple of hours now searching for (what I thought) was pretty straightforward. I''m using mongrel together with RoR and need to execute a .rb file located in my public folder (cgi style). But mongrel just can''t do that out-of-the-box - or am I missing something? I really don''t get how I''m supposed to configure mongrel for this

All I have to do is give the paths for different folders, where the pipeline can find the files with my data. But every time I try to run the pipeline it returns with the message, that it cannot find the file. And I really don't know why. I have found the path

I have a rails 3.rc app that I''m developing. I have a text entry in one my models that can sometimes be quite big. I tried setting :limit => 4294967296 on the text column in my migration file but this doesn''t seem to have any effect. The column is till created as a TEXT column rather than MEDIUMTEXT or LONGTEXT. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Is there

I''ve discovered something really weird in rails 1.2.3 (It could be fixed in 2.0? but I don''t know). Recently I started getting the error "Mysql::Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query" in my application. It seemed like it had popped up almost without relation to anything. There was a page in the RoR wiki with possible solutions but none of them had worked

Hi, I''m trying to figure out how to reliably define a column as mediumtext type through a migration. First I tried this: change_column( :entries, :lines, :text, :limit => 2.megabytes ) It worked fine for my development box on MySQL 5.0, but when I tried it on my production box with MySQL 4.0, it gave the following error: MysqlError: You have an error in your SQL syntax.

I''m playing around with Rails, and I can''t get this to work. I just can''t seem to wrap my brain around it. I''m having some trouble doing an Ajax navigation column.

Hi all, For months now I''ve been using Puppet with PuppetDB backend to manage my Nagios configs. We now have 1200+ services being checked and including servicedependency, host, hostdependency, command and other Nagios resources being managed, that''s about 3000 resources in total. Unfortunately this means the monitoring server takes about 8 minutes to perform a Puppet run.

Howdy, Before I go about writing one myself, anyone out there written a software inventory module/fact for gathering a list of all installed rpms/debs on a system?

I've been googling around for quite some time, and haven't managed to find anything useful. Is there some moderately up-to-date information on how to set up the automatic print-driver download in Samba 2.2.x?
