Yesterday, ActiveState released Komodo

an IDE for dynamic languages. This version fully supports Ruby on all
platforms (the previous version was not available on Windows). I just
blogged about it here:

Subject: [Instantrails-users] installing typo:  something got easier.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I am at a loss for words;  I spent a lot of time figuring out the right hacks to
do this a couple of weeks ago.  Now, it appears that no hacks are needed.

I downloaded a fresh InstantRails preview 5, and a fresh typo 2.6.0

Here's my virtualhost entry:

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName typo
    # handle all requests through SCGI
    SCGIMount /scgi-bin/ 127.0.0.1:9999
    DocumentRoot C:/INSTAN~2/rails_apps/typo-2.6.0/public
    <Directory C:/INSTAN~2/rails_apps/typo-2.6.0/public>
        Options +FollowSymLinks
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>
    AddDefaultCharset utf-8
    ErrorDocument 500 /500.html
    ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
</VirtualHost>

I rewrote one line in the .htaccess:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /scgi-bin/%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]

I installed the database schemas, set my hosts file...


And it all works perfectly.  No adding a plugin.  No editing routes.  Caching
works perfectly.  There appears to be no problem to fix.  Why did we spend so
much time fixing things with that plugin that Trevor wrote... when I can't even
duplicate it now.  Did it get installed into preview 5 somehow?

Suddenly, I remember someone saying that this was only an apache2 problem.
Which explains a little bit, but I don't know why we had any problems with
Instant Rails.  Curt, did you ever slip apache2 in any of the releases?

No, its still Apache 1.3.33. After taking a poll of Instant Rails users, I'm
going to stick with 1.3.33 for the 1.0 release of Instant
Rails.hecross-platform
2.0 version of Instant Rails will move to Apache 2.0.

Hmmm... I hate mysteries like this. You really want to know the answer, but
the effort required to figure it out is to high.

Since it appears to be much easier than we previously thought, maybe I can
find some time this weekend to get Typo in as a sample app and do a new
release of Instant Rails.

For those who are wondering, the final release of Instant Rails 1.0 will
come after the final release Rails 1.0 *and* after the final release of Ruby
1.8.4 (actually, after the release of the one-click installer for 1.8.4).

Hmm.  Well, they are a funny lot.  Sometimes I'll see a problem, try to tell
them, and they shout me down, only to actually fix the problem a month later. LOL

I'm not sure this totally solves the problem, though... when we use scgi,
there's no /dispatch\.(fcgi|rb|cgi) to match against anyway.  I haven't tested
it, but I don't see how it helps, unless one can SCGIMount /dispatch.cgi ?

Rails to Rails 1.0 RC5 (aka 0.14.4) was released yesterday. You can upgrade
your Instant Rails installation to this new version by usi the main menu to
open a Ruby Console Window and then running the command:

      gem install rails --include-dependencies

Ok, after updating I was having some weird problems with Instant
Rails. Now I'm now getting the following error:

Lost connection to MySQL server during query

After googling seems every answer to this problem is the fact that the
MySQL Ruby bindings are not installed. Is there a Win32 port of them
somewhere?

The pure Ruby bindings are included with Rails, but the C based bindings are
not. Obviously the Ruby bindings are there or you would not have gotten a
connection to lose.

Are you saying that the answers you found indicated that installing the C
based bindings would solve this problem?

That's what google says. I reinstalled Instant Rails, updated and
don't seem to be getting that error anymore. What I get now is a
NoMethodError when I try to call the find function from within my
model. I have a simple test app with just one call to 'find' in my
model for a simple table that stores a username and a hashed password.
This all works fine on Linux / Rails 0.14.3 but refuses to work on
Instant Rails either 0.14.3 or 0.14.4. I'm using only Webrick to test.
I'm not using Apache / SCGI because they are overkill for me.

I went to my linux box, upgraded to 0.14.4 and everything was still
working fine. I can't get the same code to work with Instant Rails, my
guess is because of the fact that there is no Ruby-MySQL C binding.
That is the only difference between both setups. I use only Rails +
MySQL and Webrick. Such is life I suppose.

Theoretically the same code should still work, right? I am a n00b with
Rails and have only developed a very basic login system that works on
a Linux machine with Rails 0.14.4 and MySQL 4.1.12. It only has one
table and one model with a method that calls find. When I try to run
the same code on Instant Rails using Webrick (that is my preferred
development server) it fails to run giving me a NoMethodError. When I
run on Linux it works as expected. If I comment out the find method in
my model then I don't get the error on Instant Rails but yet the code
cannot function properly without it.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I really can't say without seeing the code...

Anyway this is the code that causes the problem on Instant Rails.

require 'digest/sha1'

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
	
	def self.validate(name,pass)
		find(:first, :conditions => [ "username = ? AND password = ?", name,
Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(pass) ])
	end

end

I'll get a NoMethodError on the find method. If I comment it out, the
app will run but of course it doesn't validate a user.

Ok, first problem, you probably don't mean to use validate(), since that is a
method called when a record is saved; see
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Validations.html

I don't know if that is causing the error or not.

Could you also post the exact stack trace you are getting?

ok, but the weird thing is that it works on linux. I have since been
rewriting the code to make it better. I've got rid of that method now.

I read through the comments, and it appears that there are some MySQL bugs
in this Rails release. Here is what DHH said:

*David Heinemeier Hansson* said 1 day later:

To anyone who've had database trouble with MySQL, please upgrade to the beta
gems with: gem install rails?source
http://gems.rubyonrails.org?include-dependencies. We've fixed some important
snags.

Subject: [Instantrails-users] typo installation, httpd configuration
Message-ID: <439F62FF.5020107@dgrmm.net>

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I have updated the wiki to show how to install typo.  Ineffect, it's really
quite simple, hardly any changes are needed; just the usual vhost and .htaccess
modifications.  All of the routing problems were only visible on Apache2, and
theming issues are with the themes, not typo.

On that note, the default VirtualHost entry that comes with Instant Rails needs
updating, it's way to complicated.

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName www.mycookbook.com
    # handle all requests through SCGI
    # CHANGE #1: change to /scgi-bin/
    SCGIMount /scgi-bin/ 127.0.0.1:9999
    DocumentRoot ${path}/rails_apps/cookbook/public
    <Directory ${path}/rails_apps/cookbook/public>
        Options +FollowSymLinks
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>
    AddDefaultCharset utf-8
    ErrorDocument 500 /500.html
    ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
#CHANGE #2: remove everything below
#    # matches locations with a dot following at least one more characters,
#    # that is, things like   *.html, *.css, *.js, which should be delivered
#    # directly from the filesystem. Also matches the following
#    # subdirectories: images, javascript(s), stylesheets
#    <LocationMatch ^/(images|javascript|javascripts|stylesheets|[^/]+\.[^/]+$)>
#        # don't handle those with SCGI
#        SCGIHandler Off
#    </LocationMatch>
#    <LocationMatch "^/$">
#        # don't handle just / with SCGI
#        SCGIHandler Off
#   </LocationMatch>
</VirtualHost>

Or, as one unit, here's what it should be:

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName www.mycookbook.com
    # Set up SCGI handler
    SCGIMount /scgi-bin/ 127.0.0.1:9999
    DocumentRoot ${path}/rails_apps/cookbook/public
    <Directory ${path}/rails_apps/cookbook/public>
        Options +FollowSymLinks
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>
    AddDefaultCharset utf-8
    ErrorDocument 500 /500.html
    ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
</VirtualHost>

Also, I see this:

# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# permissions.
#
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

That's not very secure.  It would be more secure to move the "AllowOverride All"
into each Vhost; so any vhost created won't allow .htaccess unless explicitly
allowed.


Finally:  the default .htaccess should have:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /scgi-bin/%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]

Thanks for taking the time to figure all this out. I will definitely roll
all this into Instant Rails itself, eventually.

I'm actually uploading a new release right now that upgrades Rails to
today's official 1.0 release of Rails. I would have liked to have your
changes in there, but I barely had time just to update Rails... seriously...
you won't believe how much I have to get done between now and Christmas --
its insane!

Message-ID: <31d15f490512132013k4aaaaeb3ndc6a4428ae3e32ca@mail.gmail.com>

This release upgrades Rails to version 1.0.

Instant Rails is a one-stop Rails runtime solution containing Ruby, Rails,
Apache, and MySQL, all preconfigured and ready to run. No installer, you
simply drop it into the directory of your choice and run it. It does not
modify your system environment. This release of Instant Rails for Windows,
but there are plans for ports to Linux, BSD, and OSX.

The Instant Rails home page has links for downloading and getting started
with Instant Rails:

http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/

If you already have Instant Rails installed, then bedure to read the upgrade
instructions:

http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?How_To_Upgrade

Preview3 fixes a few minor bugs and upgrades Rails to 1.0 Release Candidate
3 (aka 0.14.2). It also updates SCGI and the Apache side (bug fix for AJAX
problems), and SCGI Rails Runner to Zed Shaw's latest version 0.4.3.


Instant Rails -- Change Log

  that containd spaces, issues a warning, and quits.

Sorry for the dumb question, but I have no experience with using databases.


How do I open up the MySQL db within the InstantRails subdirectory to create
a new database?  Is there a GUI available?  Or else how would I create one
on the command line?

In the main Instant Rails menu (clikc on the "I" button or press the Alt
key), select "Configure >> Database". This will bring up PhpMyAdmin in your
browser, which is a GUI interface to the database. In the "MySQL" column,
click on the link "Databases".

In the result web page you'll see there is a form for creating a new
database.

Message-ID: <31d15f490512142154v4c88c5fen89499d2a070589e9@mail.gmail.com>

My apologies to all who downloaded preview6, it did not contain Rails 1.0 as
advertised -- I screwed up!

Preview7 does, in fact, contain Rails 1.0 and as a bonus, also includes Typo
2.6.0 as a preinstalled sample app. See the Getting Started page for
instructions on running Typo in Instant Rails:

  http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Getting_Started

Also, you can thank David Morton for getting Typo into Instant Rails (he
just joined the Instant Rails development team!).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
2005.12.13 Instant Rails preview7
           (preview6 was a bad release)

* Included Typo 2.6.0 as a sample app

* Included RedCloth 3.0.4, BlueCloth 1.0.0, and RubyPants 0.2.0
           (used as text formatters by Typo).

* Upgraded Rails to 1.0 final

* Instant Rails now detects being run from a directory path
  that containd spaces, issues a warning, and quits.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: [Instantrails-users] Preview7 is missing iconv.so
Message-ID: <43A24ACA.7050707@davidlangston.com>

for all of us who have rails apps that use the salted login generator in 
their app, it is required to have iconv.so in
ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32/

apparently the one-click version of ruby fails to include this.  I would 
be helpful if this could be included in InstantRails so
we did not have to go back in deal with this on each new release 
(cryptic behavior on rails 1.0.... seems webrick starts and then dies 
but provides no error information.  You can only see the errors if you 
run script/console)

Installed Preview 7 with typo.  Changed this line in my host file:

from :
127.0.0.1       localhost

to:
127.0.0.1       typo

When I attempt to access my new typo app via

http://typo

I get this error:

Application error ( Apache)
Change the error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action (like in
Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Another possible note:  I made the port for typo to be 9998; but the mangement
interface resets to 9999, so if you clicked ok, it reset it to 9999 and the
webserver is looking for 9998.   Set it to 9998 and restart the SCGI server...

Hi,

I installed the latest InstantRails version and configured it using the
instructions on the web site.

Unfortunately I get both for typo and cookbook the following error:

-----------------------------------------------
Application error (Apache)

Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action
(like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html
-----------------------------------------------

The Apache error log contains
-----------------------------------------------
[Sat Dec 17 17:07:13 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (10061)Unknown
error: scgi: connecting to server
-----------------------------------------------

This problem seems to result from the fact that the DOS box from 'Start
SCGI-Server' disappears after a few seconds. It contains some text but
there is not enough time to read it. 

Any idea what could be the problem?
Does Start SCGI-Server use a command file where I could add a pause, so
that I can see if there is any error message displayed?

Thanks,
Manfred

Additional info:

scgi.log says that scgi is running on 127.0.0.1:9999 in development mode.

Apache.log still posts an unknown error "scgi connecting to server"

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.

I noticed that also.  Try this:

In each app,  add a log folder.  Inside that create a 'development.log'
file.  This worked for me.

rails_app/cookbook/log/development.log

rails_app/typo2.6.0/log/development.log

Now the SCGI dox window should stay open with no errors. It probably won't
resolve the 'apache 500' error though.

Definitely, the SCGI server has some problem that is causing it to crash or
not start up in the first place. Two things to try...

First, check the scgi.log file to see if there's any useful info in there.
You'll find it at:

    rails_apps\typo-2.6.0\log\scgi.log

Second, as you suggested, you can start the SCGI server manually by:

1) Opening a Ruby command window using "Rails Applications >> Open Ruby
Console Window"

2) Move into the typo subdirectory: "cd typo-2.6.0"

3) Run the command "ruby ..\..\ruby\bin\scgi_service"

This file did not exist. Probably because the log directory did not
exist at all.

I did as Larry suggested and created 

rails_apps\typo-2.6.0\log\development.log and
rails_apps\cookbook\log\development.log

This solved my problems. I have the scgi.log now as well, but it does
not contain any error. ;-)

So it looks like ..\log\development.log should be part of the
installation. At least the log directory. Maybe this this would be
sufficient, but I did not try it.

Ah, OK.

It did! Adding the log folder and creating an empty development.log
file made the DOS box stay and the apps working.

Thanks!

what about adding the log folder but not the development.log?

I really don't want to have log files themselves under revision management.

 Hi Typo Fans,

Just noticed there was some typo discussion on the list that might be better served by the wiki page at:


http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Installing_Typo

The missing log folder/console flash were both discussed.

Install latest release... add log folder (export didn't create it for some reason)

It should work.

Just to be completely explicit, after unzipping a fresh copy of the latest
Instant Rails version, in the "typo-2.6.0" directory, create a subdirectory
named "log".

I just updated the FAQ to address the problem of the missing "log" directory
that keeps Typo from running in Instant Rails:

  http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?FAQ

We will fix this in preview8.

Instant Rails 1.0 preview8 has been released. This is identical to preview7
except that it restores the missing "log" subdirectories in the sample rails
apps (cookbook and Typo).

If you have preview7 installed, please DO NOT download preview8. Just create
a subdirectory named "log" in the two sample Rails apps as described in the
FAQ:

=====================================================

Instant Rails is a one-stop Rails runtime solution containing Ruby, Rails,
Apache, and MySQL, all preconfigured and ready to run. No installer, you
simply drop it into the directory of your choice and run it. It does not
modify your system environment. This release of Instant Rails for Windows,
but there are plans for ports to Linux, BSD, and OSX.

The Instant Rails home page has links for downloading and getting started
with Instant Rails:

http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/

If you already have Instant Rails installed, then be sure to read the
upgrade instructions:

Right now, I'm working on the 1.8.4 release of the one-click installer, and
the plan to to have a working iconv in that release. As soon as I get that
out the door, Instant Rails will inherit it, so you should get your wish.

Curt,

Is there an easy way to get iconv.so and drop it in the correct folder?

Thank you,

Thanks, I was using the managemant interface to check/set the SCGI port
number.
Re-installed preview8. Left the SCGI configuration alone.  Just changed the
Hosts file. Now typo works as intended.
