Then certain operations (like editing my preferences, adding a task) will make Tracks start serve 500s for static files. Clearing the cookies helps until the next time.

Here is an example log message:

I’ve been trying to install Tracks on Ubuntu 10.04 to no success. After messing around a lot, I finally got to a page served but just an error

Routing error

No route matches "/tracks/" with {method=>:get} 

Here’s some specs
OS: Ubuntu 10.04
Ruby version: 1.8.7
Tracks version: 1.7.1
Using Apache2 and MySQL

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Why isn’t it possible to filter based on multiple tags in Tracks? This limitation makes the whole tagging thing a useless feature since I have more than 1 tag per action.

Thanks.

I just tried to install Tracks on my Ubuntu 9.04 server. I previously successfully installed other Rails apps on the same server.

I cloned Tracks from github to my server one hour ago with this command:

I configured database.yml and site.yml.

My problem is that the command

returns the following error:

I have gem 1.3.7 and vaious rails (2.3.5, 2.3.3, 2.3.2, 2.2.2, 2.1.2, 2.0.2) installed.

What’s going wrong here?

Thx

Tini

I’ve installed the version from github/bsag but it results in this error:

NoMethodError (undefined method `show_always=’ for #<RecurringTodo:0x7f6fae432ab8>):
  app/models/recurring_todo.rb:404:in `recurring_show_always=’
  app/controllers/recurring_todos_controller.rb:92:in `create’
  public/dispatch.fcgi:24

The version is: 1.8devel (2010-08-06 16:57:54 +0200)

Is there any fix for this?

Thanks.

Application error (Apache)

Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action (like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html

The log shows

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!

I think I am missing something about this ruby on rails thing. For a few days I have been busy to install tracks (version 1.7.1) on my homeserver (debian testing), but can’t get apache to serve the site. I only get a list of files. If I enter the url “http://tracks.barweinig.org/login” I get a ‘404 not found’.

When I issue the command ‘script/server -e production’ all goes well and I am able to login to my tracks installation on port 3000 via the build-in webserver. So my tracks setup is ok.

Concerning apache: I have googled a lot and read a lot of different howto’s about configuring apache and it should be ok I think. These are my virtual host settings:

<VirtualHost *:80>
          DocumentRoot /var/www/tracks
          ServerName tracks.barweinig.org
          ServerSignature On

          LogLevel warn
          ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
          CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

          AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
          DefaultInitEnv RAILS_ENV production

          <Files *.fcgi>
              SetHandler fcgid-script
              Options ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks
          </Files>

          <Directory /var/www/tracks>
              RewriteEngine on
              RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
              RewriteRule ^/(.*) dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
          </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

mod_rewrite is enabled. The only thing I am not sure about is the DocumentRoot. Does it have to be the root of the tracks installation or the subfolder ‘Public’? I have tried both, but without a difference (except for the list of files it’s showing of course

As I said, I have been googling and reading a lot about getting tracks to run on Apache, but I feel I am missing something. Do I have to run the server also if I want to connect via Apache or something like that?

Hope somebody can shed some light on this matter.
Thanks in advance.

After following the installation guide (http://www.getontracks.org/doc/chapter/2-installation.html) I tried starting tracks through

.

Then 2-3 secs later the following Error occures:

I googled the error and parts of it (“Object is not missing constant”, etc) but got no clou how to solve the problem and since my knowledge of ruby is about 0 I hoped you could give me a hint.

The database is sqlite3 but with MySQL the same error occurs.

Update:
If I use

to start the application in “development mode” it works fine with the same database configuration.
