Re: Using Root domain CNAME for Heroku app
Hi Mirko/all, Sorry to keep the thread alive Nothing is preventing you from pointing mydomain.com at Heroku as an a record/ ip address. They suggest using a cname so that you won't be affected by an ip address change. Cheers, Keenan On Nov 3, 2008, at 4:51 PM, Mirko [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sorry about reviving an old thread, but I'd also like to vote +1 for multiple domain names. Even better, ideally I would like to be able to point an A-record at an IP address, rather than pointing a CNAME to heroku.com. I understand that some registrars allow root level CNAMEs, but this seems to interfere with MX records and therefore is not optimal. I am currently pointing www.mydomain.com to Heroku and redirecting mydomain,com/* to www.mydomain.com/* via an Apache site I have setup on a different host, but this solution is a bit roundabout and also not very robust, and I would much rather make mydomain.com the canonical hostname and set up a rewrite from www to that. -Mirko On Sep 25, 1:37 pm, Owen Dall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, definitely.

Re: cname issue on my server
Hi Mike, I had a similar looking mail setup when I setup Heroku for my root level domain. Is it possible you setup an alias for your root domain and not the sub domain? In Godaddy I only entered the subdomain part (e.g.: status) and not the full made (status.survey.com) But that may just be a different problem. Make sure your mail is setup to be survey.com and not status.survey.con. I think mail systems can get confused with an mx record that points to a domain that is also a cname Then again, the fail may just be the prppogatipn delay Hope that helps a little, Keenan On Nov 20, 2008, at 3:31 PM, Botah [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have configured my cname for a sub domain to use heroku. for my app: sastatus.heroku.com if I try to save a custom domain name as: status.surveyanalytics.com I get an error stating my cname is not correct and I should run the following command.

Re: CSS files not updating
Hi DAZ, You may want to run in development mode? In development mode, the stylesheet tag, tweaks the stylesheet name different style.css?1242346 - that last number is based upon the mod date of the stylesheet . So when you change the sheet, the browser requests a different file and you don't have that problmem. Sometimes when I am working with stylesheets, I make the mods directly in my individual page rather than in the main applicaiton file. in my layout I typically have a head title... %= stylesheet_link_tag 'application' % %= yield :header -% and on my individual page I'll have: % content_for :head do % style /style % end -% I tweak the css in the individual page until things are what I want. Then I cut and paste that stuff into the public/stylesheets/ application.css file. [I usually use the application name and not the word 'applicaiton' but everyone does things a little differently.] Hope that helps, Keenan On Jan 8, 2009, at 6:13 AM, DAZ daz4...@gmail.com wrote: I'm having a bit of trouble with CSS files not always displaying the most recent styles after I edit the file.

Re: within my app, a login is not working
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 said the pragmatic programmer book store only had a console admin interface for years. Not sure if hey have even added a web admin interface.

Re: within my app, a login is not working
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 database. Indexes however, do need attention. Not today. But soon. Good news is migrations handle those in a database neutral way. Beat of luck, Keenan On Jan 8, 2009, at 5:50 PM, HazardJ james.g.haz...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks very much.

Re: quick question about heroku versus herokugarden
Hi Stephen, To turn off the banner: Create config/heroku.yml toolbar_public: false toolbar_collaborators: false I'm pretty sure you don't need to put a link to heroku. Rember it mentioned, but I put some not on the about page. (People tend to do that with non-free sites too for some reason) I think the reason you were auto moved is because the old heroku became herokugarden, and heroku is now their v2 product. I don't think it will auto move you to herokugarden. I don't know when it will cost money. --Keenan On Feb 21, 2009, at 9:15 PM, stephen murdoch wrote: Hi I had a few test apps running on heroku a while back and had forgotten about them until I got an email informing me that they had been moved to herokugarden - fine with me I don't mind Then today, I set up a new app on heroku (not herokugarden) and was wondering if this app will get moved by some daemon to herokugarden at any point It's not going to be a problem, I was just wondering Also, I notice that if you create a custom domain name for an app on Herokugarden, the page will have a pervasive heroku banner link at the bottom whilst custom domain names hosted on Heroku do not. Whilst I understand why you do that (you are giving free hosting and nothing's really free right?) what can we do in the event that it clashes with the site colour scheme? Lets say I had a bright pink background or flourescent green etc... As a suggestion I recommend the following: 1) allow users to alter the colours of the Heroku banner bar at the bottom of the page (perhaps have a set of banners from which they can choose, even allow people to develop their own within strict guidelines using some custom banner generator tool) - this solves the problem of my page background clashing with your banner 2) or, make a requirement that every page of every site must contain a visisble link to herokugarden along with some buttkissing statement about how much they love heroku, instead of having to have the banner. a bot or perhaps a rails test could verify that the visible link is displayed and could be set up to lock the site down if the user removed it just thinking so my questions are: 1) will my app on heroku be moved to herokugarden suddenly one day? 2) in the event that my app on heroku is not going to be moved to herokugarden, how long do I have before it ceases to be hosted for free? finally, I have a podcast that I want to host, I was thinking about using dreamhost as I've got other apps running there but now that I've spent the last 12 hours immersing myself in the ways heroku, dreamhost seems like a total PITA. the best solution is probably going to be the heroku commercial option you guys have planned, can you give me any info about what to expect for pricing? also do you have any idea what will happen in the event that my users should exceed my download limit? will I get fined or will my app just stop running until the next month? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Heroku group.

Re: Ajax error
Hi
Few things
The error is in your route. You have a resource slideshow, you need to
tell them you have a non standard action
Either uncomment the :controller/:action line or add a :collection =
'show_slide' to the resource :slideshow line.
One thing to note
Put the slideshow I'd into the session, not the slideshow object.
Also, the whole session thing doesn't look right. No reason to be anti-
ReSTful
If the URL were to read:
/slideshow/5/slide/1
(rwad: first picture of slideshow #5)
Then the session would go away and the Javascript would only become
margionally more complex
That uses nested routes and no custom actions or anything.
Anyone have a good link for an example of this or suggestion that I'm
taking the rest thing too far?
Best of luck. On cell phone so sorry I can't research this right now.

Re: upload Rails app to Heroku / Herokugarden
Hi Egorbrandt 1 - Heroku is running a custom version of rails. If you change your config/environment.rb to say ruby version 2.1, then that should clear it up.

Re: Strange AR error
Felix,
So glad to be of help.
Microsoft always seems to put square brackets around column and table
names so you'd see select * from [application].[dbo].[table] in their
database definition language extracts ('DDL')
So it was worth a try.
You have answered that single quotes work for you - so no need to try
the square brackets. (It is a database thing not a ruby thing)
Best of Luck

This helped! Thank you very much. In the other class, where I let AR
create the SELECT and used a the symbol representation of the field
name (:firstPeer), AR apparently quoted the name correctly so that
postgre understood it. Now I understand why AR always puts quotes
around everything! So, in other words, this was not an AR error at
all... :)
Just goes to show that you should always rely on AR as much as
possible.
What happens if you use the ? Notation?
:conditions=[firstPeer = ? or secondPeer = ?,
@chatter.I'd,@chatter.id]
Didn't try this, but it seems likely that that would have to be:
:conditions=['firstPeer' = ?
(with extra quotes around firstPeer; can Ruby/Rails handle such
quotes-inside-quotes by the way; needs to be escaped?)
Or use [[firstPeer] = ? or [secondPeer] = ?], ...
What do these (inner) angular brackets do? Act as quotes?

Re: Graphviz and Dot
Hi Tobin, Just a fellow heroku user like you. GraphViz does such great stuff. The layout is just great. Display is not as nice as something like OmniGraffle, but the layout is superior. (I think OmniGraffle hired the guy from ATT, and is doing great stuff merging the concepts between the two products. But it still has a little way to go. e.g.: it doesn't support different layouts for different subgraphs which is something that GraphViz does wonderfully) But I do wonder what it would be like to separate the layout from the generation. Of course if that layout would be best done in ruby. :) Looking at the dependencies, wonder if they use TCL to do that work. --Keenan On Apr 17, 2009, at 6:31 PM, Tobes wrote: Again, thanks for considering all this. Keenan, I'll keep searching, and if I can delegate #2 (create graphics) to something like imagemagic then that would be awesome. I actually started out playing with ImageMagick, knowing you guys supported it, but couldn't find a way of handling the layout (#1) neatly.

Re: Graphviz and Dot
Good call Ryan, Never thought imagemagick. That probably includes most of the dependencies that GraphViz would need. Also pruning down the supported formats to those 3 would probably prune down the additional libraries needed much further. Also, thanks Tobes for asking the question.

Re: Adva CMS
Hello Saurabh I stand corrected. Looks like they create the files in db/migrations then delete them. I would hack the code to not delete the migrations from the db/ migration directory.

Re: DNS Confusion
Nick, All looks great Putting the ns records on GoDaddy will work fine for your needs. Adding multiple sites is http://reflectivepixel.com/ is at herokugarden http://code.reflectivepixel.com is at tumblr http://photos.reflectivepixel.com is at smugmug mail, calendar, photos are at google Up until this week, I had an A record with * pointing to another server. All other domains went to a server with htaccess rewrite rules to redirect to the appropriate url (e.g.: www, ww, , rewrote to the root domain and photo went to photos) http://skitch.com/kbrock/b3euq/total-dns-control-panel The issue is the implications of the cname record. gemcutter.org. proxy.heroku.com CNAME You can read it as: find the content for gemcutter at proxy.heroku. But more accurately it is saying that gemcutter is basically the same as heroku.com If the two are the same, then does heroku.com or gemcutter.org host the DNS record? Some mail clients assume heroku (the master) will host the DNS record. Good news: proxy.heroku.com's mx records are the same as yours. so this shouldn't be a problem. Godaddy tries to protect you from yourself. This is a pain. On another route, if you tell dns CNAME www is provided by proxy.heroku.com, that is less of a statement. And --Keenan (others - please correct where I went wrong) On Jul 25, 2009, at 6:46 PM, Nick Quaranto wrote: Sorry if this was double posted, I didn't see it showing up on Google Groups. Hey folks, I'm really confused with trying to set up a custom domain for Heroku. I don't understand DNS too well, so any help would be appreciated. Currently here's the setup I have: I'm using GoDaddy and Slicehost, and I want to move hosting over to Heroku while still using Slicehost's DNS management. GoDaddy knows the nameservers are ns1, ns2, and ns3.slicehost.net.

Should GoDaddy be told that my nameservers are still on slicehost? They can forward domains as well, but Im not sure if that's the same. Also, I'd like to have google apps for this domain as well.

Re: Workflow for compressing JavaScript and CSS using YUI Compressor prior to deployment
Hi Grant, I was about to write a follow up on that one - I'm pretty sure they do not have Java installed. I was quick to jump the gun and show how to generate content and serve it up. After I looked at the project I realized the java predicament. http://compressorrater.thruhere.net/ points to a couple. Looks like jsmin has been ported to ruby - so that would work. disclaimer: I have only heard the name and have not used. but for the static libraries, it does seem that serving up a minified version (or the minified version hosted on google) may be a great route. --Keenan On Aug 13, 2009, at 11:36 PM, Grant Heaslip wrote: Thanks Keenan.

Running heroku db:reset will reset the app's database to a blank
slate. You'll need to run migrations or use heroku db:push to
reinitialize afterward.

Re: Put an application into maintenance state
Hi GaJ I just tested and it looks like it works the way you and I want.

One small fly in the ointment is that you can't individually set heroku configuraiton variables (unless this is fixed now?)

This means that to implement the suggestion above, you would have to ensure that each time you turn on and off MAINTAIN you will have to be setting all the other vars as well. A royal PITA.

Re: installing gems from gemcutter not as it should be
Just a thought. Are the requests to gemcutter using HTTP? Is the system using ETags / If-Mod-since? Seems there could be a way to use a forward proxy to gemcutter.

Re: db:push unable to find taps
HEy Chris, For a while I noticed that taps created invalid urls that contain a password. I think the url encoding would screwup with the : (between username/password) or something like that.

Sure, the easy fix would be to just ditch the models entirely, but
realistically I'll need to migrate legacy data repeatedly until the

So how can I tell Heroku to ignore these models?
I've tried this:

Re: Nesta
Hi, As an alternative, you may want to keep the hit directory around git co -b production #create a Heroku branch git remote add heroku git:// ... Heroku ... You will need to setup the default destination for this branch (I defer to what ever suggestions the git command provides) Make sure you checking your Heroku specific changes under the production branch, not master. This way you can pull/push changes for the community to enjoy. When I was working with lovdbyless, I wish I had branched earlier. It is a little tricky merging in the code changes to master that are appropriate for the rest of the nests community, but it will be a good lesson in selective merging.

Re: dns wtf for .it domain
Hello Shane, it takes a little time for these things to propagate across the internet. Sometimes up to 3 days. And to make it worse, your computer, your router, and possibly your hosting provider all cache the records. So it is tricky to know once you got it right.

I tried to query your dns server directly, and am probably doing it wrong, but got back the old ip address: 119.252.176.38 % host razzledazzle.it ns1.instradns.com I'm guessing I have some user error, and may be running the wrong command.

Re: A key is required to write a cookie containing the session data.
Hey Chaz,
for rails apps,
config/initializers/session_store.rb usually has a secret key
ActionController::Base.session = {
:key = '_charles_session',
:secret = 'XX'
}
you can get a good session key by running:
rake secret
Create the file and see how it goes.

Re: Taps Server Error: year too big to marshal when doing a db:pull
Hello Paul,
It looks like you have a record with a year too big for sqlite.
I have run into this in non rails situations importing year '9' to MSSql - it
was a bug in my code that did not add 2000
Looks like you only have 2 tables to choose from (users, payments, credits and
streams were successful).
From heroku console query for all records bigger than this year. That may shed
some light
Record.scoped(:conditions = date_field '#{DateTime.now + 10.years}')
#single then double
# May want to try less then 100 years before now too

To make that less of a pain, many applications set ActiveRecord to persist all timestamps as UTC -- this is just a configuration setting you can put into your environment.rb: ActiveRecord::Base.default_timezone = :utc Then, whenever you're doing time-based queries, you need to remember to cast the time in question to UTC. One could make the argument that ActiveRecord should do this for you, or that it shouldn't, but either way it doesn't, so it's just something you have to remember to do in your code. Naturally, operations that assume that your idea of a time zone and the database's are the same -- such as performing a query with NOW() -- are going to cause you problems; but since you're probably building all your queries in Ruby anyway, it's easy enough to avoid those situations.

Re: sharing app on multiple machines
On my iPhone, Sorry if this was already addressed. Github is free for public archives. Which works for many. As you mentioned, They also have a paid option if you want private repos and other options. If you google: github Heroku workflow, there are a number of examples of how to use git and multiple repos. (regardless of whether you choose github or any other provider) When I started, I had multiple computers using Heroku as my git remote server. It worked much the same way that svn works. The disadvantage being that every time I checked in code, it would deploy. So I was forced to only check in working code. Later, I started storing my code on github or company hosted git repo. Only pushing to Heroku to deploy. Sticking to one remote git repo (on heroku) may meet your needs. The neat thing about git is if you pick another hosting provider, you won't loose anything since all history is local. Pushing to a new provider will include all history (unlike svn).

Re: development works fine but production on heroku complain about caling count on []
Adam,
When we run centos, it only has ruby 1.8.5. And [].count is not defined.
But unsure why heroku would fail on this - thought they were running 1.8.7 (or
newer depending upon your stack)
Maybe monkey patching is your friend?

Re: Do you pay for multiple apps, or only multiple dynos per app?
Hello Brian, You want to have one code base that is hooked up to 2 heroku apps. (staging, production) Each of the heroku apps gives you 1 dyno for free. I like the article at: http://jqr.github.com/2009/04/25/deploying-multiple-environments-on-heroku.html (see also: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1279787/staging-instance-on-heroku ) There were a number of examples out there, but I'm having trouble tracking it down. The take away is that your local repo is connecting to a number of remotes: 1 of which is staging, 1 is production, and optionally, another could be github, or any other remote repo. --Keenan On May 17, 2010, at 2:44 PM, Brian wrote: I currently have one app running with one dyno in production env.

Re: hosting app on root domain?
John, Yea, strike the MX record comment. Heroku used to be CName based, which proved tricky for MX records on a root level domain.

Re: MySQL -- Postgres LIKE find error
Edoardo, 1. you may do well to store the id as a string you can index that, and many databases will use an index with a like clause (given the % is on the right hand of the string) only way I know how to create this is using: def after_create if id_string.blank? id_string=id.to_s save end end 2. it may be too late in the game, but there is this concept of internal and external ids the internal id is the integer you use in your join tables. the external id is the string/number you use to refer to this record to other people. the external id is the one in the url, and possibly the only one the customer knows. example: first initial, last 4 letters of their name and a sequence ( ezari005 ) the url would use that for /people/ezari005 Or you could use the user chosen id for the url. twitter does this. if you make the field fixed length and non-nullable, you could get some optimization for the indexing. (that is assuming a system generated index) Accessing the record may be 1 extra lookup or may not. def to_param is your friend, but there is also a great plugin out there they mentioned on rails envy a while back (called the ruby show now) If you already have the ids released into the wild, may be no turning back.

Re: is it possible to allow users to use CNAME or A to point custom domains at my heroku app?
Hi, 1 IP address per website is too expensive. So lots of domains are hosted off the same IP address. HTTP/1.1 (what we've used since ~1998) passes in a Host: parameter. The webserver uses the Host parameter to map the request to the appropriate application. We tell the webserver how to map the Host to the application. --Keenan On Jun 1, 2010, at 10:48 AM, Kyle Bragger wrote: So I just tested this out and unfortunately Chap's suggestion seems to be the only way; any other domain CNAME'ed to another domain pointing to Heroku passes though as expected, and fails, as Heroku looks for an app with *that* custom domain.

Re: how to setup mime-type in my rails app
Hello Eki, Sorry - should have seen this before. The mime type that you are setting is for your rails app. The jad/jar files are being served from the http server. So you need to configure the http server for the mime type. I don't know how to modify the http server mime-types - couldn't find it at http://docs.heroku.com/ The options that you are more in control: 1) serve up the file from s3 2) serve up the file via Rack/Metal/Rails set the cache to use varnish set the mime-type http://docs.heroku.com/http-caching Serving the file from apache (the public directory) would be the preferred route, but if you are up against a deadline, maybe the 2 options above may help Good luck, Keenan On Jun 24, 2010, at 4:44 AM, Eki wrote: Hey Keenan , I would like to thank you for your swift response and your welling to help , anyways I can't use the FF since I'm using this for mobile application u know , and anyways its not working even for FF .

Re: free vs. paid heroku app performance
Hello Deepak, A single / free dyno spins down when it is not in use. Much like passenger / mod_rails on your local box. It cost ram/cpu/money to run a dyno on an ec2 instance. If you are not using it (and you are not paying for it), then there is no reason why Heroku should dish out the money to pay for something you are not using. If you want to pay for it by getting another dyno, then I guess you can be the judge on whether to have the app running or not. It seems curious to me that people want Heroku to pay for their staging environment to be up all the time. For me, staging is a pre-release testing environment. Guess others have a different view.

Re: Git, SVN and Heroku
Hi 1. Use git as your client (with git-svn). Then just update (from svn) and push to heroku. It works great. If you have trouble, ping me. I haven't done this recently, but can try and dig up some stuff if you need. Issues you may see: deleting directories (e.g. vendor/gems/* )in git doesn't always translate to svn. So sometimes you get a fail there. Otherwise it works without a hitch. 2. Use svn and git use svn like you always do setup git as a duplicate version control system in the same directory. When you want to push, just check the files into git (git commit -a) and push to heroku. I know someone who did this and said it worked for him.

Re: Caching of /public files
I agree with Steve, 1) Static assets served from public are cached for 12 hours.

Re: inconsistent Memcache reads
Hi Brandon, Once, I had changed my memcache client library and it started raising exceptions. Turns out the previous library just returned a nil, while this one raised an exception. So I hacked the library to return nil on failures rather than throw exceptions. (The previous library just returned a nil not failing) This seems like the answer for me. Maybe alter the gem and add the option to throw an exception instead of returning a nil. But it is curious that it would fail so many times. --Keenan On Oct 5, 2010, at 9:25 AM, Brandon Casci wrote: It took a few days for the ticket to get answered, but yesterday did get confirmation from Heroku that this was a problem, with Amazon EC2 causing the pain. See this: http://getsatisfaction.com/heroku/topics/sporadic_errors_with_memcache_addon I have the same symptoms they mention, though for my app it's not sporadic, it's a state. The only way I can seem to shake it is by opening the rails console and doing Rails.cache.clear, and things go back to normal until problem kicks back up again. I'd rate this problem a 9.5 out of 10 for my app. What makes things particularly difficult for me is input comes in from outside sources and sits in memcache. In this case, what a radio station is currently playing, and it should stay there until the next time until new data comes in via the API. I suppose it's fair to say that data should be placed in the DB, which is fine. I can do that, and then do a Rails.cache.fetch from there. Any miss would mean another AR query instead of a nil. That's still a problem though, because a lot of supplementary data gets queried with the song title, artwork, photos, products and more.

Re: Compiled Slug size not changing after removing large gems from Gemfile
Hi Stephen, If you checked in a gem into git Then you deleted the gem from git. Git still has the gem. It is not showing up for today, but git log will show when you added it and removed it. Guess I do not know if you are checking in your bundle dir and gems into git. 1. So are you saying your repo is 17mb, or your slug is 17mb? I'd imagine that the slug would be smaller on your change to the Gemfile. But you stating that your slug is big suggests that maybe the .git directory is included in the slug?

Re: github help
You may want to double check the ref on prod. I see the app name is myapp but the ref is myapp-prod.

Re: how to use Heroku in development with view designers?
It may be hard for the dev to develop haml/erb without the models to populate it. 1. Have them dev in pure html using a scratch directory in public. Create a separate git repo that only has your public in it You can go have public as a submodule route or you can just have 2 different projects and do duffs. Since you are going to need to translate back into haml/erb at some point anyway. Second idea is to keep models innocuous and put truely proprietary logic in external modules. Have them as a gem or plugin and don't include it in your main repo. One thought: Many designers I know are quite comfortable with haml/sass or erb/css. Or atleast they can tweak and improve it if not author it. Why work with people you don't trust? Why handicap them just to make more work for yourself? Rhetorical questions for you only.
