To Whom It May Concern: I have an ActiveRecord-based application (non-Rails).

Hi, I''m looking to create a ruby script that loads a bunch of records and manipulates these. Where do I start? I got this to begin with: #!/usr/bin/env ruby require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../config/boot'' players = Player.find :all But it complains about a DB connection. How do I set this up? Jeroen

Hi, Just thought it was weird that Ruby doesn''t automatically cast ints to floats. Seems so un-rubyish irb(main):006:0> 12/16 => 0 irb(main):007:0> 12.to_f / 16.to_f => 0.75 Jeroen

Hi, Is there an easy way of querying an active record for a maximum column value? I need to do queries like: SELECT MAX(salary) FROM employees TIA, Jeroen

Hi, Whenever I restart mongrel on my production server, the first request in my browser always fails, I get this error: Processing Base#index (for 83.xx.xx.xx at 2006-09-03 16:08:47) [GET] Session ID: f1918346d193e19a70c3230286e5ce1a Parameters: {} TypeError (superclass mismatch for class Stats): /app/models/stats.rb:1 stats.rb:1 just contains a normal A/R line: class Stats <

I have files which have columns of data that look like this: DOB 9/27/1964 ... That is, dates in month/day/year format. When variables like DOB are read in, they are converted to factors. So, I wrote this to convert from date to age in years: age<-function(x) {as.numeric(Sys.time()-strptime(as.character(x),format="%m/%d/%Y"))/365.25} This isn't very precise or pretty, but it

Hi, I recently bought by first Mac and I''m looking for some alternatives for my windows applications. Does anybody know a decent gui admin app for postgresql?

Hi, Are there any recommendations as to what is currently the most stable setup is for mongrel & apache? I read somewhere (probably here) that you should avoid using PStore for sessions. Are there any more of such recommendations? Also, what is currently the safest version of mongrel to use in production? Jeroen

A couple of questions please: What is the benefit of having more than one Mongrel/Rails instance on the same machine, could one instance not serve as many requests as say three instances? Is Mongrel Cluster a Apache add-in (like mod_*) or a separately running load balancer which runs on a separate port, I could not work it out from the sample Apache config... |# Redirect all non-static

Hi, Disclaimer: I''m pretty sure this isn''t a mongrel issue, as I''m pretty sure I had the same problem back in the lighty-fastcgi days.. After a postgres restart, my rails apps crash with this error: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (PGError: FATAL: terminating connection due to a dministrator command server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably

Hi, Some controller filters: before_filter :require_logged_in, :only => [:create, :new, :confirm] before_filter :init_players, :only => [:create, :new, :confirm] The first one, you guessed it, redirects a user if he''s not logged in. Now when I hit this page and I''m not logged in, the 2nd filter gets executed and throws an error, because it depends on the user

Hi, I''m trying to include a partial in an email template but it throws me this: undefined method `controller_path'' for SupportMailer:Class Extracted source (around line #12): 11: 12: <%= render :partial => ''footer'' %> I guess email views are a little different from normal ones as they don''t seem to have a access to a proper controller (?)

Hi, Is there a way to test if a certain (local) variable has been initialized? I''d like to do something like if isset(myvar) and myvar.true? #some code else #default behaviour end I have a lot of shared views that I call with params such as { show_pager => true Instead of having to explicitly say show_pager => false it should be possible to make false a default value, right?

Hi, Do I need to configure something to get my custom public/500.html page showing on my production server (lighttpd)?
