similar to: session scope?

Using lighttpd + fcgi to power a site. When no one has accessed it in a while, the first visit to the page takes a while to load up. Then subsequent visits are fairly fast. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I''ve tried a bunch of things trying to get ruby/apache2 and php working together. I looked over my earlier post and followed the instructions on ezra''s website to install lighttpd on debian. I''ve gotten really far but I think there is one bit missing: 1. I got apache2 and php working together 2. I got lighttpd working on port 3000 and my rails app launches ok

Anyone know of a good (fast) way to encrypt/decrypt uploaded files in RoR? I''ve seen this project: http://ezcrypto.rubyforge.org/ but it only seems to encrypt strings and such. I need to encrypt files once they are uploaded, then decrypt them when they request the file back. Any ideas? Thanks, Mark -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve managed to get Rails working using Apache->Lighttpd->SCGI. Restarting everything is really difficult. This appears to be the process: - stop apache - stop lighttpd - stop scgi - make sure scgi still isn''t running (it sometimes does) - if it is, kill it - delete all session files (they often cause permission errors) - start scgi - start apache - start lighttpd - cross

Hi, I''m using textilize with redcloth 3.0.4. Everything works best except that paragraphs are not translated as an HTML paragraph When I write something like: *first paragraph* second paragraph the output is without paragraph: *first paragraph* second paragraph Any help??? Thanks Jörg

Hi Folks, Just a quick message saying that, after much demand, I wrote a quick write-up for the RoR + XUL thing I did yesterday: http://www.zedshaw.com/blog/programming/ruby_xul.html It lays out the few simple things I did, has a bit of rant on an unrelated topic, and other stuff but it''s short still. On a related note, I''d like to thank "xal" on IRC for reminding

Hi, A bit off-topic, but I''m about to set up a remote Linux server for Rails, with postgres and probably Lighttpd. The server has two 120GB hard drives, one of which will just be for nightly backups of the other. I don''t intend to have any untrusted user accounts on the server. The server will be dedicated to my own applications. I''ll want to support lots of www

Hi all, I''m trying to create a related dropdown box: In my view: <select name="category" id="category"> <option value="">Select category</option> <% @categories.each do |category| %> <option value="<%= category.id %>"> <%= category.title %> </option> <% end %>

Quick question to see how I might re-sort an Activerecord data set. Let''s say I have this table: tablename: testscores | id | student | score | avg_for_year 1, steve, 85, 82 2, tom, 84, 92, 3, jim, 92, 95 In my controller, I have something like: t= Testscores.find(:all, :order => "score DESC", :limit => 2) ...where it would return the records for Jim and Steve....

Hi All - I notice that most of the Rails team are using Mac OS X and TextMate for Ruby development. I too am working on Mac OS X and trying TextMate and (shudder?) EMacs. I was wondering about version control. Are folks using Subversion? If so, are they using a graphical client? Which one do they recommend? Yours, Jordan -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

To much of my dissapointment, the uptime on my TxD account does not improve. What alternatives do we have for hosting Rails projects on shared accounts? I would love to keep lighttpd and the level of control I have on TxD but wouldn''t like to spend much more (I am currently on the 25$/month plan). I won''t need much support, but I would love to have subversion

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

Well, my entry for the 24-hour Rails Day competition is here: http://yubnub.org . It''s a web app called YubNub that implements the grandiose idea of a "command line for the Web OS".

sorry again, i''m building a registration form, getting stumped on the country listbox. any ideas how i could build a listbox for countries, taking it''s content from a data table? i''d imagine i''d have to generate a data model for country, fill it in with all the current ISO spec countries; that i can do. then tie that data model to the account controller.

(Nuby to Ruby and Rails...) I''ve implemented security using the login generator in a simple app so that I have a user table, a roles table, and a join between them (roles_users). All works as expected. I now need to check if a user has a specific role, but my approach is off somehow. Here''s what I''ve tried thusfar: user_roles = @session[:user].roles
