[NWRUG] What would be the advantage in moving Passenger+Apache over to Passenger+NGINX?

I noticed that the RVM wiki on installing Passenger with RVM is really pushing the use of NGINX with Passenger, rather than Apache. Is there a good reason to follow this advice? Is it loads faster, or something? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NWRUG"

[NWRUG] Anyone else having a nightmare with Gems & Ruby 1.9.3?

Upgraded to the latest pre-release candidate for Ruby 1.9.3, and boy am I regretting it! Anyone else trying to work with 1.9.3 getting "cannot load such file" for simple gems? Worryingly, I was getting something similar in 1.9.2, too (I think -- yesterday was a *long* day). Might head over to IRC &

[ubuntu-uk] Installing Ubuntu 64 on basic laptop

Hi -- a local shop got sold a Dell with 1gig RAM running a 64 bit version of Windows a couple of weeks ago, and they are saying that it is running really slowly. As it's an independent shop I use lots & want to support (support your local bookshop!), I've offered to set it up as dual-boot with Ubun

[NWRUG] Why would installing git-svn through ports & converting to git slow specs & features down?

Hi -- I've converted a project from SVN to GIT, today -- it was a horrible job, and I had to resort to installing with mac ports in the end. Ugh. Anyway, it is all done, and now a proper GIT project. However, when I run my specs and features, they are an order of magnitude slower. One cucumber scen

Re: [rspec-users] How are people speccing and cuke-ing Paperclip (with S3)?

I was wary of taking an approach like that, as it feels a little like test code bleeding into production code, but the sheer number of problems I'm having trying another way tells me that I'm very inadvisedly swimming against the stream, here. So I think I'll rethink my strategy & try something mor

[rspec-users] How are people speccing and cuke-ing Paperclip (with S3)?

Hi -- I'm running into all sorts of difficulties trying to use paperclip with cucumber and rspec. Basically, I'm stubbing out paperclip calls with WebMock (I've adapted the shoulda macro that uses FakeWeb to do this). But every time I get things running smoothly, something else pops up to screw t

[rspec-users] How are people speccing Rails 3 ActiveRecord queries?

Hi -- how are people speccing Rails 3 ActiveRecord queries? At the minute I'm chaining a load of should_receive calls on mock relation objects, but can't help thinking that there must be a more elegant way of going about it. Is there a best practice for this, yet? Cheers, Doug. _
