similar to: max requests for fcgi interface

I hacked a forking FCGI dispatcher for Rails. I have no idea if this is the correct way to do it, but it seems to work fine. It improves memory usage a bit; after it is started the processes share almost 10 MB (of 12 MB total), but unfortunately it drops to 2 MB after a few requests. ===================================== #!/usr/local/bin/ruby require File.dirname(__FILE__) +

Greetings all-- Humble newbie requesting help here. I''ve just installed Ruby 1.8.2, Rake 0.4.15, and RubyGems 0.8.8. When I try to get Rails into place via "gem install rails," I get the error below. What have I done wrong? Can anybody throw me a rope? Attempting local installation of ''rails'' Local gem file not found: rails*.gem Attempting remote

I''m having a problem converting a date retrieved from my MySQL database and I''m hoping someone can help. MySQL stores the date/time as this: 2005-03-08 17:00:34.0 and according to my Pickaxe book Ruby stores times as "the number of seconds and microseconds since [...] January 1, 1970". All well and good. Unfortunately, RoR is converting my date to this:

looking at the unit tests of activerecord leads me to think the db is completely responsible for auto-incrementing the id field and rails does no magic here. can someone confirm that this is a true statement? that being the case - what is the preferred way to write database agnostic sql for one''s schema since each of the dbs has slightly different syntax for this functionality... does

I''ve used mysql for quite some time now. Other than crashing when the partition gets full, I''ve had no problems with it. But I''ve heard great things about postgres and have seen some people say it''s much superior to mysql. So, with a Rails application, is there any reason why I would want to learn/use another DB besides mysql? Any pragmatic benefits?

First let me say that Rails caching is very very cool. The traffic (and responsiveness) I''ve saved by added 10 lines of ruby code would be enourmous, if I actually had traffic... ;) Sweepers as observers are great, btw. Since every page of my side is dynamic, once I did some DB optimization I''m caching the content of the index page which was taking the bulk of the time to load

Recently my application has refused to start on my production environment. The setup is debian(unstable)/apache2/fastcgi/mysql Rails 0.10 (upgrading to 0.10.1 as we speak) When I first start up apache the machine grinds to a crawl starting up the dispatch.cfi processes. It''s a VPS with 256M of ram, but still (in addition to user time) it''s spending 30% of time in system

line 212 of postgresql_adapter.rb is return Time.now.to_s if value =~ /^\(''now''::text\)::(date|timestamp)/ i don''t think this will work. in postgresql the field ''now'' is pinned to the SAME TIME for the duration of a transaction. eg. if you do begin transaction; insert into t values(42, ''now''); # sleep one minute

Hi all, Last night, I wrote a web-based syntax highlighter that takes Ruby and produces nice HTML of the code, ready for including on web pages, or in blog posts, or whatever. I don''t know how useful it will be for other people, but feel free to use it. Anyway, the URL is : http://syntax.carldr.com/ Any comments/suggestions would be gratefully received. Enjoy!

I''m running Ruby on Rails via FastCGI in an Apache environment, and I get the following error, a lot. (from log/fastcgi.crash.log) [13/Mar/2006:15:52:51 :: 94704] Dispatcher failed to catch: Bad file descriptor (Errno::EBADF) /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/fcgi.rb:38:in `close'' /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/fcgi.rb:38:in `each''

Hi, I found it a while ago, an add-on to Rails for supporting movable select boxes, but I searched through the wiki and the mailing list and couldnt find what I was looking for. I was hoping someone might know of or remember something about the project. Thanks, Dylan.

I''m a java/php programmer trying out Ruby/Rails on my Dreamhost account. I followed the wiki steps to the letter (2x now) and am still getting a 404 when I hit my dispatch.fcgi. http://mydomain.com/public/dispatch.fgci Can someone give me suggestions on how to debug this problem? Here is my dispatch.fcgi file: #!/usr/bin/env ruby # # You may specify the path to the FastCGI crash log

Hi all- I am building an application that includes a login screen. During development I found that user passwords are logged by Rails in plain text -- this will not be acceptable to my users. Is there a way to obscure/encrypt incoming password parameters or not write them to the log files at all? One thought was to use Javascript, but I was not sure how secure that would be. Thanks, Josh

I''m trying to get my Ruby on Rails application to work under Apache. It works fine when run as WEBrick ("ruby script/server"). As suggested in http://www.ocssolutions.com/support/ruby/troubleshooting-ruby-on-rails.php , I tried running dispatch.fcgi on the command line. When I run it, no matter where I run it, it outputs: 500 Internal Server Error Both the #! (shebang)

I am using memdisk to remotely flash the BIOS and other firmware. It works well for most flash programs. After the flash I need to initialize the NIC to send a signal to my management server that the flash is complete. I am curious as to how others have solved this problem. Thanks.

Hi, I must be missing something or have something misconfigured, but I get no stack-trace when there is an error in the code behind a view. If the view doesn''t compile, then I see an error & stacktrace, but all other errors I get a "lost network connection" from the browser, and nothing at all in the server output or development.log. It''s been that way with

Hi all, Like most other frameworks, Ruby groups code by Model/View/Controller instead of by task, and therefore I''m having a hard time debugging a problem from the Agile Rails book where looping through @items errors out because one or more items is nil. I managed to empty the cart by placing session[:cart] = nil in find_cart() in the store_controller_rb, and the problem continued

I'm not aware of any official maintainers but supposedly the gstreamer guys (http://gstreamer.sf.net) have a spec file for it. I am going to look into it in the next couple of days but when 1.0 comes out I'm sure RPMs will pop up pretty quickly. Josh __________________________________________________
