I am trying to run instant rails on windows xp SP2. I can get the cookbook and typo sample sites to work with webrick but not with scgi. When i click the start with scgi i get a blank dos window and typing www.mycookbook.com returns Firefox can''t establish a connection to the server at www.mycookbook.com.

Is there any way to request WEBrick to shutdown besides hitting CTRL-C at the console? I''m looking for, perhaps, a script/shutdown command, or perhaps a special URL that will request WEBrick to die. It can be a command run in a different shell, or, as I said, a special URL. Anyone? Tom Harris Cisco Systems -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi folks, I''m working with a local high school in the Portland, OR area on the subject of computer science curriculum. We are thinking of introducing a class in web development and I think Rails would be a perfect vehicle. I''ve done some searching on the web but haven''t found any suggestion of HS curriculum for Rails. Any pointers or suggestions? Thanks, ---

Curt, This is really, really cool.... On hiccup for me though. All was well until I went to manage the cookbook application. The Start SCGI command gave the following output: D:\INSTAN~1\rails_apps\cookbook>..\..\ruby\bin\ruby.exe script\scgi_rails start -p 9999 -e production -D ERROR: Could not setup a SIGHUP handler. You won''t be able to get status. Listening for connections on

Are there any plans to move the schema definition from migrations to the model, where it should be? Like og does, which I think is used by the ruby Nitro framework...

Hi Railsers, How do you design your applications? Do you start coding HTML? Start with the controllers/models? Start in a program like photoshop/gimp/illustrator/inkscape? I start in inkscape, it''s a SVG editor. I sketch all the views of my application, and then I create the views that belong to one controller in RHTML. After that, I do the models/controller, and move on to the

Hi, I created a new rails application called demo using Instant Rails 1.7.

Hi, I have installed InstantRails 1.0 Final on Win XP (Home SP2) and Win 2K 2000. I was able to get the two apps (cookbook, typo) work fine with Webrick but not with SCGI server. I tried changing the SCGI settings through the InstallRails.exe console so that the Runtime Mode: would be "development" instead of "production" and SCGI port: to 5000 instead of 9998.

Hi everyone - sorry if this is a bit OT, I''m not subscribed to the ''ruby-talk'' list, but if anyone wants to cross post this over there... This is just a quick announcement to let people know that I''ve built a basic RDoc Dashboard widget for Mac OS X Tiger. It''s still beta-ish, but seems to work okay for me - and it''s a convenient reference

http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/73035#new Hi, I think I have network issue on my XP PC here trying to run up InstantRails and using it.

Hi, I''ve generated a new Rails app and dummy controller "foo" with method "hello". I am trying to run it under Apache/2.0.53 with fastcgi, and getting the index.html page when I hit http://localhost/foo/hello, or for any other request (http://localhost/kdjfslkfjs). Also, there is nothing in the rails logs, and no errors in the apache logs. Relevant bit of

I recently downloaded and extracted Instant Rails v1.4 on my Win XP sp1 machine. After changing and saving the windows host file and starting the cookbook app with Mongrel, browsing to www.mycookbook.com does not work. With Mozilla it displays ''redirecting to cookbook...'' but never loads. It is finding the index.html in the cookbook/public dir, but the redirect to

Can Rails be used for printing an order in a store application that has arrived? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

After hearing so much about RoR over the last few months, I finally decided to give it a try. I decided to follow the "Rolling with Ruby on Rails" article on ONLamp.com to get up and running. Unfortunately, since that fateful decision, I have run into nothing but obstacles. First, I downloaded and installed Ruby. That was my last success event. Then, I typed "gem install

Hey guys, It has occurred to me that a lot of people need some of the fixes I make to Ferret ASAP and don''t like having to wait to long for the gem. On the other hand, it is a bit of a pain to download and install from subversion because then you need to uninstall when the next gem comes out. So I thought I may as well put some instructions out as to how you can build your own Ferret gem

I'm having performance problems that seem to involve SAMBA in the equation so I thought I'd ask if there was something obvious I'm stuffing up or a known anomoly. A mate of mine runs MYOB Premier (the brilliant (not!) multi-user accounting package which claims to not support SAMBA (or visa versa). I've had it running glitch free for two years on a Samba share off a linux box.

Hello everyone, In the 6.0 release, I have found a gap in the provided source under the SRPMS/ directories on the mirrors. Let's take the 'bash' source as the first example.
