i just stumbled across a posing on the mongodb-user list where there was a discussion about passenger and forking when using mongoDB with MongoMapper.

Hello, I have a site, say, example.com, which is PHP. I am converting it to Rails, but there are three years worth of issues (like magazine issues) that I don't want to update.

I'm working with an external framework (redmine) which has one Project model that has_many EnabledModules.

When the last running application server terminates, it'll kill all the delayed job workers. The first part (starting) is doable, although I'm ...
Hi there, I'd like to 'add on' some code on a model's method via a module, when it is included. I think I should use alias_method_chain, but I don't know how to use it, since my 'aliased method' is one of those methods ending on the '=' sign: class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base def foo=(value) ... do stuff with value end end ...
