Hello, I tried taking Capistrano out for a test drive and I can''t even get out of the garage. I am following the instructions here: http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/98#page262 As well as Duncan Davidson''s Deploying Rails with Lighty: Deploying Rails with LightTPDhttp://duncandavidson.com/essay/2005/12/railsonlighty Specifically, when I do: rake remote:exec

Hello, Yesterday I posted about how to email from a worker. I decided to be a bit piggy and just inhale all of rails. Sorted. I am noticing some rather ominous behavior though. The setup: My worker takes an uploaded image as a param and passes it (via system call) to a C++ image processing engine. Take a look at these memory consumption figures for successive runs uploading the identical image

Hello, Can someone suggest the simplest way to send email from a worker? At completion, I need to send the results of it''s work to a recipient.

Hello, I''ve built a powerful image manipulation engine in C++ that I want to deploy as a Web-based service for all to use. The idea is straight forward: Visit my site, submit a photo, select a visual treatment, press go, and receive the resultant photo via email. See samples here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/theimageengine While the engine is rock solid, I am struggling a bit

Hello, Bravo Ezra for Backgroundrb! What an elegant piece of engineering. I envision many folks like myself looking at our CPU hogging executables and finally seeing a clean path to the Web. I was wondering if any folks have a good strategy for calling out to a C++ (or any other compiled) executable from a worker. Is the only option to call system() from a worker? That feels a bit unsatisfying.

Hello, I''ve checked out my rails tree from svn into the location I intend to run in production mode. However, I am unclear on what exactly needs to change for it to work in production mode. Yes I have: "bin-environment" => ("RAILS_ENV" => "production") When I switch to the externally routed IP address instead of 0.0.0.0:3000 and try running: %

I am hoping that someone with more experience and knowledge than I can assist me in finding a solution ;) We have a RedHat AS4 box with 5 interfaces. Two interfaces serve two different networks and two interfaces connect to two different uplinks. The fifth interface is our management interface. Since a picture is worth a thousand words I attempted to come up with a diagram:

Hi, i am looking to deploy a ruby on rails site. I currently have some asp.net 2.0 sites hosted using IIS. I have looked at some of the issues with hosting a rails site on IIS and this looks more hassle than what it is worth. I tried it and i couldn''t get it to work. Can someone tell me what is the easiest way to get a rubyonrails site up and running on a server running windows.

Hello, Can someone tell me the best way to make a system call (from within my model) that runs for a while and requires params form my model, specifically attributes of my model.

Hi everyone, I''m building an app in RoR that apart from the normal web interface has a web service. This web service takes a parameter and uses that in a single database query, and returns the result in a simple XML format. This web service needs to be quite fast as it will be used on all pages of a quite big site with thousands of visitors every hour. I don''t think caching is

My new asterisk install seems to be running fine - including playing all prompts etc without error. However, when placing someone on hold they here choppy music (first second or so) then quiet.

I''ll pose a question partly for fun, partly out of interest to see what everyone else is doing to survive the pain of the day job. It''s for the professional J2EE developer converts out there. Let''s say someone hired you to write a Basecamp clone, but it has to be done in Java, say on the Tomcat or JBoss platform. What does your stack look like now that you''ve

Hi, how does one create a symbolic link within a Rails application? At this time, I can perform this action at the command line but I''m not sure how to do it within Rails.

Hello, My platform is SuSE 8.1. After downloading and unpacking R version 1.7 I tried building with shared libs enabled. (./configure --enabl-R-shlib). My goal is to use RSPython but I am now in my own private segmentation fault hell. The R build worked fine: make, make check, make install cool. The RSPython build worked fine. Thinking I'm good to go, I run python. But when I import RS

Hi all, I am about to start a new RoR project. Which version of mysql is the current best one to use? I will be using the soon-to-be-released RoR 1.0 for the project. I really don''t want to start a PostreSQL vs. MySQL vs. Whatever war. I have all databases including Oracle at my disposal. This project will be my testbed for using RoR with mysql. I will be doing other tests with other dbs

Hi everyone, I am creating a typical client management app for a small office. The only twist is that I want the ''admin'' to be able to add custom form fields into the client forms. Is there anything out there that will let me create custom fields on the fly? I''d like to see how they did it. Or if anyone has any tips as to how I should design this, please go
