Topic: SCOSUG Support / Ruby/ROR with Apache 2.x ?

I’ve been drinking a bit of the RUBY coolaide lately… and want to try out ROR on my server I have setup that is already running Apache 2.x/PHP5/Mysql5 .

Can anyone point me to a good HOWTO set this up? I know a bunch of people use ROR with different web servers… I just don’t hear a lot about people using with Apache.

Topic: SCOSUG Discussion / REST what is it?

A bunch of us were talking at the meeting last night about REST and what it is and isn’t….

I found this quick and easy explanation…. didn’t require a whole lot of reading and got right to the point:

Topic: SCOSUG Discussion / My SCP Died... :-(

It seems to have worked! The md5 sum is the same on both files! w00t!

Topic: SCOSUG Discussion / My SCP Died... :-(

So recently I had a 4GB scp running.. (don’t ask) and it died at 95% ....

So I did about 10 seconds of googling and found this…

alias scpresume=”rsync—partial—progress—rsh=ssh”

Basically you can resume the SCP by using rsh … pretty crazy…

I’ve still got to MD5SUM the ISO image when it’s done… but it seems like a good idea…

Thoughts?

Topic: SCOSUG Discussion / anyone using OpenBSD+PF and maybe CARP for corporate firewall use.

A friend of mine is looking to show his boss a “case study” or at least a corporate example of someone using openBSD+PF and carp (optional) in a real world setting.

from this email:

I personally know OpenBSD can do it, but my manager wants to see some case studies.

Our environment consists of 80 total users, about 25 remote, a Cisco Concentrator for VPN access in to our intranet, and out to a p2p VPN for Oracle access. Other then that, we host DNS/FTP/SMTP for our company on some Linux b0xen.

Can anyone offer some advice. He’s going to sign up for the forums later… but I wanted to get a jump start on this topic…

I know a few people have given talks @ SCOSUG in the past… I just can’t remember who.. or where they worked.
