I've been using delayed_job without issues for a while now; mostly for queuing ActionMailer calls (Notifier.send_later ...). Lately it sends out random multiples of emails from the same job. I'll queue one email and I'll receive it five times, or once, or twice, all at the same time. I've restarted delayed_job and it seems to behave for ...
Hey all, I have two problems with this code. First, regardless of what option I select from the dropdown menu, it does not update to database when clicking to submit form, yet when I refresh page, it updates the record of id 1.

A user has_many profiles and a profile has_many documents. My form looks like this: <%= error_messages_for :document %> <% form_for([@...
Let's say you have a project running on apache. I use capistrano to deploy new code and update a httpd.conf/other configuration files, I then reload all of my services (reloading the configs).
