I have a gem installed in my home directory on a laptop (eg not THE server). I have installed ruby 1.9.1 and also some other gems, notably right_aws - which allows access to s3, etc with ruby.

Hello I've been a Rails developer on Windows for quite some time now, but I recently completed my biggest project yet (it's quite extensive, took me over a year to build) but I am having trouble deploying it. The combination of it's size, complexity and a windows environment is making it needlessly complex to deploy. I am thinking about...
Two models (Rails 2.3.8): User; username & disabled properties; User has_one :profile Profile; full_name & hidden properties I am trying to create a named_scope that eliminate the disabled=1 and hidden=1 User-Profiles.

Configuring the PHP debuggers was so hard that I can't even imagine myself using the Rails documentation by blogging. The problem looks easy to solve: write the documentation, so why doesn't anyone do it? I'm thinking that if you don't have a way to learn it, you have to ask the ones who know it, so who can know it and why? ...
Hi all, I'm using devise for a web app and wanted to add the confirmable module to the site. However, since a confirmation_token isn't generated users can't sign in. When clicking the 'Didn't receive confirmation instructions?' link the token still isn't generated. Confirmation email just generates this link (notice the lack of token i...

For some reason the code I have included below does not interpolate the variables into the template. It simply copies the file over verbatim. I cannot figure out why. https://gist.github.com/60484f7b57b06b6eb3e3 The Rails version is 2.3.4. Thanks in advance! ...

Maybe I'm confused on how SASS/SCSS works within Rails (2.3.8.) but I was under the impression that if I included the option Sass::Plugin.options[:always_update] = true that whenever I changed my SCSS file and then hit the page (controller) again, the SCSS would recompile. I can't seem to get this to work, and can't seem to find a go...
