cool, I got that running so I will play with it. I guess as long as the
camping server stays up there's no issues, but if it goes down, and apache
sees that then I have to restart apache to recover.
No biggie, at least reloader is seeing the code changes and recovering from
errors.
Thanks again.
Now to figure out how to use camping and play with some code.
I need to figure out the proper way to setup a activerecord connection and
use it in my code.
I was able to make a db.rb which does a require 'active_record' and
establishes a connection.
I then have a Test class that inherits from ActiveRecord::Base.
I wasn't really sure the best way forward from there.
Because I wanted static content available and saw a post about using
Rack::Static I just setup my module with a Test.find(1) query to pull a
record from my DB
module Test
$test = Test.find(1)
use Rack::Static, :urls => ['/static']
end
Now in my views I have a line like:
p "Pg query: #{$test.text}"
It prints data from my db/
I'm just not sure if using a global is the right way to go about it.
I tried a instance variable (@test.text) but that didn't seem to work.
Still getting a handle on ruby OO.
Thanks
