within my app, a login is not working

2009-01-08 Thread HazardJ
Hi everyone, Heroku is really great. So good that I was able to upload and get my application working, though I'm very, very inexperienced. Bravo. I've got a problem that escapes me -- when I reinstalled the app (tarballed upload) my login _within_the_app (SessionsController) won't let me log

The database on the Heroku side is not the same as what you use on your local development, regardless of whether or not your sqlite database is checked in or not (it probably shouldn't be). Heroku uses a Postgres database, which will, by definition, be separate and different than your local

Thanks very much. I confirmed that you are right by getting rid of the login -- the database is indeed empty of my document content. I presume that to get local and Heroku to work alike I need to use Postgres locally? And then git from one to the other? Is there a simpler way of getting

Hi If you put those methods into your model, the rails console acts as your admin interface. There you can create some logins. You can also use migrations to create those users for you. It would be the same code, just one would be run manually and the other automatically. Dave Thomas

Thanks for all the responses! I'm working from within a world of code I don't understand well. After an extremely rich learning experience, I discovered that I could seed the user database from the console with: User.new(:login = 'admin', :email = 'admin', :password = 'mypswd',

James, My suggestion is to run sqlite locally. Only if you are using a lot of raw SQL would I suggest postgress locally. I can see why someone would suggest the opposite. But why not just focus on rails for now? Once it becomes a big time app, then worry about the version of the

Hi Keenan, My thought about Postgres was because I am trying to have the same data locally as at Heroku. Heroku uses Postgres, I thought I needed to match it. Now I understand that it is possible to synchonize using yaml_db to export sqlite data to a data.yml, then upload it to Heroku, though I
