I put my first Rails app online on Dreamhost, but I keep getting "Ruby on Rails application could not be started" (you can see it directly). Then running rake exiftool process seems to be killed by DH: sh: line 1: 10645 Killed convert "/tmp/stream20090806-10125-x36lrj-0[0]" -resize "x150" -crop "150x150+25+0" +repage "/tmp/stream2009080...
This is primarily a question about effective Git usage. I should first say I'm not an expert in Rails (at least in a production sense) and definitely a Git newbie, however, I have had some experience using SVN. My problem is that I am trying to create a rails application but do not know the best way to keep development local on my comp...
I've got my first RoR app deployed to Dreamhost and it's using Passenger. The one note on Dreamhost's wiki about slow response mentioned changing a RewriteRules line in the public/.htaccess file to use FastCGI. But I assume this will have no effect if I'm using Passenger, is that right? I've looked at the logs and compared them to my lo...
I want to do some programming in ruby on rails on my Dreamhost server, so I connected via ssh and created a small application. Then I started the server and it worked. The problem is, that after some time the server kills itself. So I tried to activate Passenger in the user panel (which also has the advantage, that I don't have to connec...
I have a cron job to run a Ruby script, which runs fine on the command line (from user "user"), but the cron fails because it cannot find a ruby gem TMail. I manually installed the tmail gem to my ~/.gems/ dir, pointed to by my ~/.bashrc script, as suggested by Nate. When invoked manually from the shell (on deadpool server) ./home/...
I am attempting to deploy a RoR app using Passenger onto my DreamHost hosting account, but am having trouble getting it up and running.

Hi all, Summary: I'm having some svn trouble, and after "debugging" it for a while, I'm not sure where to go from here. I figure someone else might have run into this problem before. The problem appears to be that I'm behind a transparent proxy my ISP uses, but this doesn't explain all the facts. Details: I'm having trouble connecting ...
I'm using Dreamhost's WordPress, Subversion, and Trac installations. My Subversion repositories are all in /repos/[projectname] and my Trac installations are all in /trac/[projectname].

I'm currently on Dreamhost attempting to run a Rails 2.3.5 app. Here is the situation, Dreamhost's servers have Rails 2.2.2 installed. Of course, I can't update a shared host's rails version, so I froze my Rails in vendor. Rails 2.3.5 requires the rack v1.0.1 gem. Dreamhost uses the rack v1.0.0 gem. So when I try to define: config.gem ...
I've got a Sinatra app that I'm trying to run on Dreamhost that makes use of pony to send email. In order to get the application up and running at the very beginning (before adding pony), I had to gem unpack rack and gem unpack sinatra into the vendor/ directory, so this was my config.ru: require 'vendor/rack/lib/rack' require 'vendor/s...

I use Dreamhost as the hosting company for many of my projects. What is the benefit of using Dreamhost IDE over Netbeans? Documentation on the ...
