Restart Tracks every morning

2009-05-07T15:34:52+00:00

I have Tracks 1.7 installed on a Windows Server 2003 system using Apache and MySQL. I use it all day long. Then every morning when I come in to work I try to re-login to the server but I get an error. I have found the only way to fix it is to restart Tracks and Apache. The resulting log file is attached. Any Idea what is going on?

Regards,
Mark C.

P.S. - Why can’t you attach a text file or a higher resolution image?

Installation on Godaddy Server

2009-04-24T10:52:23+00:00

I have godaddy server, ROR already installed in my server. I have follow userguide “ http://getontracks.org/wiki/godaddy “ for integration in my server, but not working yet! I am trying to run last 3 days, I am feeling very disappointed with ROR.
When I am running - “www.xxx.com/tracks/public/“ it shows me

“Welcome aboard — Getting started
Here’s how to get rolling:
1. Use script/generate to create your models and controllers

To see all available options, run it without parameters.
2.
Set up a default route and remove or rename this file

Routes are set up in config/routes.rb.
3.
Create your database

Run rake db:migrate to create your database. If you’re not using SQLite (the default), edit config/database.yml with your username and password.

“

Can anyone help me what I need to do integrate tracks (GTD) in my godaddy server.
I will very thankful to you….

Issues with Exporting in Tracks 1.7

2009-04-23T23:29:22+00:00

I have Tracks 1.7 installed in Windows Server 2003 using Ruby 186-26 and Gems 1.3.1. When I try and Export CSV actions, projects, and contexts I receive the attached error display. I also get a failure when exporting to XML but the message is different. YAML and CVS notes works OK. Any Ideas?

Regards,
Mark C.

I’ve downloaded the files for 1.7, Now what?

2009-02-23T08:30:12+00:00

I’m a layman in programming. The link through which I found this software said this was a web-based program. What am I missing? I’ve downloaded the files, now what do I do to get it running? Can’t find the exe to start the install.

Outlook Integration

2008-08-21T08:36:29+00:00

Thanks to the Tracks contributors for a great product.

I use Outlook at work and wanted a convenient way of turning mail messages into Tracks todo items. After a minor struggle with VBA, a workable solution exists.

This macro adds a new item to the right-click context menu which allows Tracks todos to be created directly from the Outlook application. It can currently set the Todo context and project, but does not deal with tags, ‘due by’ and ‘show from’.

I don’t think end-user developed Outlook macros were meant to be shipped around, but installation is not too painful in the end. The procedure is documented in the wiki, at:

http://www.rousette.org.uk/projects/wiki/Outlook-Integration/

All feedback appreciated.

Uninstall Tracks 1.7

2009-01-03T18:18:35+00:00

I’m in over my head and would like to uninstall Tracks 1.7 from my computer. (Windows XP). I’ve searched this site and the internet without luck. Perhaps the answer is right in front of my nose, but I can’t see it. Could someone please provide some step by step uninstall advice. Thanks. Michael

Thumb drive?

2008-05-14T17:46:34+00:00

Is there any way to install Tracks on a thumb/USB/flash drive? If so, has anyone roughed out the steps that would be necessary?

I’m currently running Tracks on a web host, but some performance issues (withe the host) have got me thinking having a local install might be better. I use a thumb drive on WinXP to transport files with me from home to work every day, so that seems like a logical place.

Installing Trackstar 1.5

2008-03-31T02:07:08+00:00

Hi Folks,

I’m a newbie to both Tracks and GTD. I’m loving both. Thanks.

I have one question and one suggestion.

How do I update to 1.5 final from 1.5 rc1 without losing my data? I know nothing about installing as I used Bitnami’s Tracks stack to install on Windows XP.

A suggestion: Please consider another level in the hierarchical strucutre. For example,

Category: Home
Project: Bathroom
Context: Agenda
Action: Select bathroom tiles at Home Depot.

As Tracks is presently constructed, I see my project (defined by David Allen as anything that takes more than one action) list growing and growing and growing. Mr. Allen suggests that the average person will have 30 to 100 projects going at any one time. This makes the Project page simply overwhelming.
