Looking good. Does this support our own installed RoR all via RPMs? Or does your setup RoR?

The plugin never touches your installtions. So it should not be a problem.
 
purchased your software and trying to install the plugin and it appears the the .tar.gz file is 1k in size?!?!

It appears the rails.tar.gz is empty from your download page.

I have just checked, the size of the archieve is 108,955 Bytes.

or you can download it from here:
http://files.daplugin.com/rails/

Make sure to save as "rails.tar.gz"

Chris,

I'm not sure what you mean.

If I install your plugin will it install ROR and all its dependencies for me?

Or will I still need to do that installation?

Ruby, RubyGems and Rails can be installed using the auto build script:
http://daplugin.com/doc_build.shtml

Just like the customapache script from DA, you could install / update what you need easily. As for the situation of empowering, you don't need to worry about messing things up.

Our plugins (eg. DA-Tomcat) would not bundle any other softwares (eg. JDK, Tomcat) except themselves. I believe that it is not a good idea to bundling and raise the timeout of DA.

Hope you understand my English.

plugin is very buggy. The download link in your client area still doesn't work for me and had to use the specific URL in your files area.

Could not save the license in the control panel. I donno if this is related to we use suPHP. it looks like call /usr/local/bin/php which is fine in our case.

Found some code that has one of your other plugin. rails/admin/admin_index.php

require_once "/usr/local/directadmin/plugins/pgsql/include/common.php";

Not sure why this is there since we don't have any of your other plugins..

How do you enable/disable customers? I found no way to do this.
 
No IP address is assigned to our install.

Let me add grammar error:

"Version Informations" should be "Version Information"


Not looking good to roll this out to 10+ DA servers I want to offer this on. :mad:
 
I would like to explain that none of the issues you mentioned is bug.

Please make sure to read our documentations and not to miss any things.

For faster response, please submit a ticket in http://daplugin.com/support

It works for me.
This is not related to the plugin, but rather phpAudit.

BTW the easiest way to install the plugin is to use the Auto Build script, which is always recommended.

You can change the she-bang line in the html files located in
/usr/local/directadmin/plugins/rails/admin
/usr/local/directadmin/plugins/rails/user
in case the path of PHP (CLI) binary is not /usr/local/bin/php (DA default)


Found some code that has one of your other plugin. rails/admin/admin_index.php

require_once "/usr/local/directadmin/plugins/pgsql/include/common.php";

I appologize that I put that file (admin_index.php) there by mistake. This file is not needed by Rails in DA at all. You could delete it without causing any problem.

Code:
rm -f /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/rails/admin/admin_index.php


How do you enable/disable customers? I found no way to do this.
This is documented.
http://daplugin.com/howto_rails2.shtml
or
http://daplugin.com/howto_rails.shtml

5, Turn Ruby on Rails Access ON/OFF for each packages. (Just like how you turn CGI ON/OFF)

We implemented this DA feature: http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=479


No IP address is assigned to our install.
This process is automated...
phpAudit will detect your server IP and stored in the our DB.




Let me add grammar error:

"Version Informations" should be "Version Information"
edit:
you could change it in the language file:
/usr/local/directadmin/plugins/rails/include/lang/en.lang.php

Sure, I'd give it a shot.
 
Hello,

My server will be used for shared hosting. The clients would like to use ROR. So I have couple questions regarding your Rails in DA plugin.
Does this plugin work with 64bit CentOS 4?
Is there anything else I need to install besides using your autobuild script to install this plugin? Will the autobuild script install fastcgi and other things needed for this plugin?
I have squid listen on the external IP as accelerator and apache on loop back interface will that affect this plugin?
Do I need to know ROR verywell inorder to use this plugin?


Thanks

You can use the plugin to install Ruby, RubyGems, FastCGI, mod_fastcgi/modfcgid and the plugin. These are all wt you need.

I have squid listen on the external IP as accelerator and apache on loop back interface will that affect this plugin?
No. The plugin does not touch Apache.

Do I need to know ROR verywell inorder to use this plugin?
No. The objective of the plugin is to ease your work and make your clients feel comfortable.
