We're hosting our Ruby on Rails application with the EngineYard App Cloud, which has worked really well for us. They provide a series of deploy call backs (before_restart, after_restart, etc.) which are analogous to Capistrano's callbacks. We have a series of Rake tasks within our application which maintain various parts of the applica...
I have a web application that I developed with the Google Web Toolkit (GWT), it is a utility application that helps make calculations when planning specific server deployments. I want to be able to offer this application as a download on my website for people that want to use the application but don't always have internet access. I was...
I work on a desktop application and I send frequent betas to testers using deployment projects from Visual Studio 2010. I increase the minor version number each time. My testers are annoyed because they have to uninstall the previous version before they can install the new one. Is it possible to install a new version without uninstalli...
I have a finished Ruby project that has the standard structure for a multiple file Ruby program: project/ lib/ # Files the driver program uses go here. bin/ # Driver program goes here. tests/ # Unit tests go here. What I want to be able to do is type in project into the command line from any directory and have my progra...
I'm new to Qt but no problem in the C++. I used Qt Creator and made a simple program with a button (like a hello world) then I built the project. I was not able to run the executable file in windows itself (outside the creator) because it needed these DLL files: libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll mingwm10.dll QtGuid4.dll QtCored4.dll I found these fi...

When I run newly created Rails application on Apache, I can only access it's default front page ( standard app/public/index.html) file. When I try to run custom method via URI I get page not found. So I'm guessing that something is wrong with my .htaccess. Do I have to "open" it for every controller? RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.c...
Hey you guys, i think i wont find that in any textbook, because answering this takes experience. i am currently in the stage of testing/validating my code / hunting bugs to get it into production state and any errors would lead to many people suffering e.g. the dark side. What kind of flags do you set when you compile your program fo...
I have created an installer with Windows Installer XML 3.5 from within the Visual Studio 2010. The installer itself works pretty well but now I would like to change it's default language from english (1033) to german (1031). Therefore I changed the language attribute within the product tag to "1031" which should do the magic as far as I ...
I'm looking for a good way to push code quickly and securely to my company's Windows web servers for release deployments. I have a *nix background and in the past have always used rsync in conjunction with ssh for such tasks because it is quick, secure, and scriptable. Right now our deployment process is very manual and requires loggin...
We're looking into using ILMerge (along with NGEN.exe and GAC registration) to improve the startup times of our application. It looks like we won't be able to merge all of the assemblies into one dll because it will prevent any patching of our application post-deployment. We've been using msimsp.exe to generate a patch which just repla...
Background: I developed a small .NET 3.5 WPF application that connects to an Oracle 9i database. Thinking that the ODP.NET version had to match the database, I downloaded and used an [older version][1] (9i, release 2, to be more specific) of the Oracle Data Access tools. I'm basically done the application now and need to deploy it. Th...
Does anyone know of a framework (written in PHP) to update PHP-based software ? I'm thinking of a library that assists in checking for updates online and that provides methods for generating, downloading, verifying and installing update packages, maybe even with encryption and public-key signatures. Ideally with a non-copyleft open sou...
I have created an WiX 3.5 installer with multiple features. One feature performs some XML changes which works fine. I have read that these changes can be undone while uninstalling the application by using the permanent attribute. Now imagine the following case: The user installs the whole application. Feature 1 does some XML changes. N...
I am thinking of running my cucumber tests on my rails app when it is running on heroku. Is this a sane way to check for differences between development environment and deployment environment? Does anybody have any experience of this kind of scenario? Rake -T tells me "cucumber rake task not available (cucumber not installed)" even thou...
I'm writing Qt application using some 3rd party library. I want to package it into a bundle. I'm using macdeployqt and this tool is actually copying not only Qt Frameworks but also 3rd party library into Frameworks subdir of Contents dir inside app bundle. The problem is that this 3rd party library need some additional file to work pr...
I want to be able to quickly deploy updates to a site that is fairly busy. For smaller sites I would just FTP the new files over the old ones. This one, however, has a few large dll's that regularly get updated and while they are copying the site is effectively down (plus there is the hassle of making backups of them in case something go...
