So if your code has ‘random’ timeout::error’s being thrown (later), and you use exceptions, it may be because the current ruby timeout code “ensure” clause could be interrupted by a raised exception, so the thread remains around forever.  Not good.  I have a fix which I am thinking about, email me for it.

So…install spamassassin, and then create the .forward file, and it doesn’t work?  Cat /var/logs/mail.err (if using postfix — check with ps -ef).  If it says

Jul 23 03:00:11 stormtrooper procmail[20207]: Suspicious rcfile “/home/rpack/.procmailrc”

Then you may need to verify your permissions are set similarly to  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg01187.html

Note that you DO need to create the .forward file, for this setting, at least.  Odd.

If you get bugs installling spamassassin like those in the file, then what may be happening is you are unzipping it as one user, then when you install it as root it no longer has permissions in the local directory, so it fails (a weird situation, but apparently spamassassin and…umm…all perl modules fail to account for it in their installation…gross!)  So the fix is to install it ‘all’ as root [including unzipping], including with the cpan stuff (I think, anyway).  So just do it all in /tmp and not in an NFS dir and you’re ok.

A note from the author:
(my comment) When I try to install it (“./configure”) it replies
configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in config ./config

when I go to the config directory I see a few links to non existent files.  Maybe something worth checking into. Thanks!

…
Yeah, there’re some trouble in configure scripts due to different
versions of the gnu config utilities. You could try running the
./bootstrap script that regenerates the configure script with local tools.

I believe I overcame it by building it using gcc by hand. ugh.

installing it and get something like
config.status: creating db_config.h
sed: file ./confD22089/defines.sed line 55: unknown command: `(‘
?

just run configure again

Add the following to urls.py (first line optional

if settings.DEBUG: # then serve static files here
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^static_files/(?P

As a side note, “how to change your django app from development to production” is you go to settings.py and change DEBUG = True to DEBUG = False. I’m not sure what to do with TEMPLATE_DEBUG after that

It seems that it may be possible to have parameters within called functions in a django template. {% url path.to.some_view arg1,arg2,name1=value1 %} (see http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates/).

For sure if you have a “template function” that function can accept parameters, but…I think at least to my knowledge not normal functions.

So..you install rmagick as a gem and it goes to the right gemrepository, but that still doesn’t work? I search for RMagick.rb and then added that path to the RUBYLIB path, thus
export RUBYLIB=$RUBYLIB:/home/rdp/i386/gemrepository/gems/rmagick-1.15.7/lib/
(in ~/.bashrc). Voila

So…you run your ruby app with ruby-debug rdebug and it doesn’t catch ctrl-c interrupts anymore? Do not fear. Just run rdebug scriptname then ‘catch Interrupt’ and it will always catch them from then on!

driver.rb:270:in `startServerAndGoAndStop’: private method `doAllPeersWithDelta’ called for # (NoMethodError)
means “you have an extra end in driver class!”
