Rails - Apache - "Web Application could not be started"

When deploying a new rails application to a local Apache install, i seem to run into this error:
Web application could not be started It looks like Bundler could not find a gem. Maybe you didn't install all the gems that this application needs. To install your gems, please run: bundle install If that didn't work, then the problem is probably caused by your application being run under a different environment than it's supposed to. Please check the following:
A quick fix, appears to be:

Run: bundle install --path vendor/bundle

C# Escaping Generic Objects for SQL Server

In response to a need to escape various fields within any given class object, I worked up this guy. Essentially, iterates through all members of a given object and replaces single quotes with doubles on any String object. private static void SQLServerEscapeObject(object obj) { foreach (System.Reflection.PropertyInfo property in obj.GetType().GetProperties()) { try { if (property.PropertyType.FullName == "System.String" && property.GetValue(obj, null) != null) { property.SetValue(obj, property.GetValue(obj, null).ToString().Replace("'", "''"), null); } } catch (Exception e) { Logger.Log("Issue clensing SQL query: " + e.Message, Logger.Loglevel.Warning); } } return; }

Rails routes, respond_to and more

As pulled from:
http://info.michael-simons.eu/2007/08/06/rails-respond_to-method/

I've used respond_to previously...but it slipped my mind..so i figured I'd repost it here.

Here is the snippit that replaced a separate (and now useless method) for each major entry view page.

respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.js { render :partial => 'list.html.erb' }
end

Flot - jQuery Graphing

http://code.google.com/p/flot/

Here is one use of Flot in an app I'm working on:

JS:



Some ruby to fill in the data/ticks variables:



and that's about it. Some tweaking to clean things up, but I now have a nice weight over time graph with appropriate BMI ranges coloring the background.
