Tracks

Rewrite errors and SSL support ??

2009-06-06T19:36:49+00:00

I stumbled upon this tracks installation guide for tracks and became determined to run it on my test server. Now, I do have tracks up and running. Usually, I enjoy solving configuration and programming issues without assistance but would now like forum input since tracks is about effective time management to begin with. Specifically, I think I am experiencing errors with URI rewrites within tracks. This is my primary question.

Errors Encountered:

deleting contexts or actions fails
dragging contexts fails

Received this error once ...

“Template is missing Missing layout layouts/standard.erb in view path */tracks/app/views:“

# and the file is in the specified directory

Secondarily, ... I would like to run tracks through https://*:443 but ...

“# SSL name based virtual hosts are not yet supported,“ - comment from Apache ports.conf file.

and I am not certain how to configure tracks as an ip based virtual hosts in order to implement ssl. All of my virtual hosts are name based on my local loopback interface 127.0.0.1. 127.0.1.1 points to debian in the host file (a Gnome requirement) and I use my server for web development. I am in a home office and my router uses class C addressing 192.168.*.*.

Migrate DB using YAML

2008-04-14T12:33:03+00:00

Hi!

I just started using Tracks and GTD some days ago and i love it. Until now I used MorphExchange as a host, but it wasn’t reachable yesterday and it’s also rather slow. Since that’s not the idea of an robust storage, i decided to host tracks on my own.
The setup took me about 6 hours, but it’s done
Now I want to copy all my actions from MorphExchange to my own installation. As you might know, i only have access to the downloadable YAML file on MorphExchange. But I have just no idea how to import this file in my existing DB.

Is there a tutorial anywhere I can follow?

I am running Tracks 1.5 on Ubuntu and Apache2 with MySQL DB.

thanks,
amarillo

Following c00i90wn’s guide, problem with rake db_schema_import

2009-06-04T01:13:55+00:00

I am relatively new at linux, and completely new at ruby, so assume you’re talking to your grandmother when asking me questions :D

Ubuntu 9.04, ruby 1.8.7, mysql 5, tracks 1.7

I’ve gotten to the line in his guide (http://www.cooldown.com.ar/2006/12/16/install-tracks-on-ubuntu-or-debian/) that says “sudo rake db_schema_import”

It fails. Badly, I think. The one thing I did differently from the guide is that I downloaded tracks from the main tracks page by clicking on the “Get Tracks 1.7” button, rather than installing subversion and going from there.

This is the output:

user@fatboy:/var/www/tracks$ sudo rake db_schema_import --trace

I can’t find anything on the forums or on the intertubes that has been remotely helpful for this specific error. I am not even sure what the error is indicating since I dont know how rake works.

Any direction would be extremely helpful.

Where is my CSS ??? !!

HOW TO: Install Tracks on Ubuntu with Apache + MySQL

2009-06-06T13:51:27+00:00

Took me ages to figure out how to install it correctly but I got there in the end!
I hope others will find it useful and maybe save some time!

Apache & fcgid problems

2009-06-01T21:30:51+00:00

Hallo !

I’ve been trying to install Tracks in combination with Apache2 for several hours now and decided to aquire some help from the forum:

This is my vHost:

<VirtualHost [::]:443>

        ServerName gtd.ipv6.myhost.de
        DocumentRoot /var/gtd/tracks/public

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

</VirtualHost> 

And this is the error I get in /var/log/apache2/error.log:

http://pastebin.com/f79913abe

All files in

/var/gtd/tracks/db

are writeable for www-data.

Thanks for your help.

I am new to Ruby & Rails.

Ubuntu 9.04 install failure on rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production, help please

2009-05-11T03:33:55+00:00

When I run “rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production” I get the following error messages.
This is on Ubuntu Server 9.04
This is from a recent “GIT CLONE” download of tracks 1.7.

Thoughts?
(should I download the zip file from the home page instead?)
Thanks!

Error 500 with Apache2

2009-04-21T16:17:59+00:00

Hi!

I’m new to ruby on rails and I’m trying to get tracks running on my Debian lenny with Apache2.

After configuring Apache to use RoR, it seems to work, but I get an “Error 500 Internal Server Error” in my Browser (notice that this is not the Error 500 Message that Apache should show me with the default .htaccess file I’m using!).

Then I tried to start the dispatch.rb via command line and got the same message. Here’s the output used with the verbose option: http://pastebin.com/f6d136656

Do you have any idea what could have went wrong?

no stats

2009-04-14T06:51:27+00:00

So I’ve now installed Tracks locally and remotely. My local install runs without a hitch, but on the remote (hosted) install stats won’t work.

Both installs are utilizing mod rails. The hosted install is running on a dreamhost server. Everything else works in Tracks except stats, which gives a 404 error.
