I''m using the ezcrypto library for aes encryption, but i''m running into some weird cases that i cant seem to figure out. What i''m doing is trying to encrypt someting in php using standard AES 128.

Hi all, I''m working on a Rails application. In this application I retrieve a list of ''brands'' using a method somewhere defined in my controller: private def get_brands @brands = Product.find_by_sql("select distinct brand from products"); end However, I display this information in a listbox in the template for my controller. This means @brands

image_tag(source, options = {}) Ok, when I want to use an image I added the following code: <%= image_tag "dsf.jpg" options = {[align="right", style="padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px;"]} %> However, this doesn''t seem to work, it doesn''t like how I have the "options" part setup. I''m sure there is something very easy

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

I got a new 20 inch iMac dual core today and am busy getting it all setup. A couple of issues though: 1. Is the Ruby 1.8.2 install by Apple still botched or has that been fixed? I recall someone had fixed the rbconfig.rb to get it working. Is this something I still have to do? 2. Does anyone know if Locomotive is using the uniersal binaries, or is it targetting PPC yet? I couldn''t

Hi, I have an application where I want to be able to encrypt large amounts of text before storing them to my DB (MySQL Text field - might be switched to a Blob). I have an idea of how to do this, but was wondering what the general consensus is within the community regarding the issue. I have come across a couple different plug ins/gems (Stringbox, EzCrypto), but am wondering what other people

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 Railers, I''m looking for something to do asynchronous encryption - where the encryption and decryption keys are different. This is for a scenario where I want to be able to store some information in the database that can only be decrypted in a different physical location using a secret private key (which will not be stored on the machine doing the encrypting). I''m trying

Ok, a bit of a possibly dumb question here. When working on Rails apps and I want to add a few custom class rb files to the project, where exactly should I put them?

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

Or should I just use text as column in the mysql db? public_key_file = ''lib/public.pem'' public_key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(File.read(public_key_file)) @encrypted_string =
