Tracks

Multiple installations sharing common database on network share?

2010-02-05T22:45:46+00:00

Hi,

I’ve discovered Tracks and love it. I’m currently comparing it to What’s Next. Anyway, one of the requirements (or at least hopes) for this to work for me is to be able to seamlessly access my data whether at my desk (I have a dedicated desktop station) or from away (I also have a laptop which may be on the network or vpn’d in from home).

I work at a company developing technology and storing my database (or all of tracks for that matter) on a webhost is just not an option due to the Intellectual Property issues of what will be contained.

Here’s my vision:
- the main computer hosting the server will be my desktop station
—- I can access tracks from either the desktop (http://localhost) or laptop (http://desktop-ip) when it is up
- when the desktop is off or I’m home I can start up the server on my laptop to see tracks
- the database is seamlessly shared between the two
—- the ideal for this would be to keep the database on my allotted network share drive. This seems like it should be very easy to do.

Currently I’ve tried editing database.yml to edit the development environment to look like this:

development:
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: /share/mountpoint/tracks/db/tracks-17-blank.db 

The folder ‘tracks’ actually only has the folder ‘db’ inside of it.

I get a ‘500 Internal Server Error’ when I do this.

Any thoughts?
- is it just editing another file?
- do I need to copy more than the db folder to my network share?

Please let me know if any other information would be helpful.

Best regards,
John

byethost install trouble

2010-01-05T02:18:29+00:00

I am new to rails but would very much like to use tracks through my byethost account. Tech support has verified that ruby is installed and running correctly but I have not had any success in getting tracks to work. I’ve used a bunch of the various install tutorials to change the database and site files but the farthest I get is a welcome to rails page. Byethost uses cPanel which allows for creation of rails apps and a means to turn the app off and on but I can’t get it to turn tracks on successfully.

I was hoping someone was familiar with byethost and could help me out. One thing that I see is inside the gems control panel it lists a path to the installed gems I’m supposed to include in the script. Not sure if this could be part of the trouble.

Can I ask if anyone has tried or has experience installing Tracks on Heart Internet and can offer any help or advice?

Thanks.

undefined method `generate_best_match=’ for ActionController::Routing:Module

2009-11-02T17:58:40+00:00

I just tried installing tracks, this is my first attempt at working with a Ruby app. I am getting the following error. I’ve tried commenting out the generate_best_match function as suggested here- https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/3198 and restarting the app, but it didn’t work. I tried changing the value to true, but I got the same error.

Help! So CLOSE! Trying to install on Bluehost

2009-09-13T19:26:16+00:00

Ok so i think I did everything correctly so far even the SSH commands with the “mongrel” read out. Then when the install instructions say go to http://0.0.0.0:3000/startup in my browser nothing happens. then I tried asking my hosting company they said they don’t deal with the problems of other peoples software and couldn’t help but the guy did manage to mention he thinks of the 0.0.0.0 as meaning an IP address so I tried substituting the zeros with my IP. still nothing. I tried doing what is normally required in programs I’ve installed on servers which is to go to yourdomain/admin/ or something like that but still I could not find a way. Pleas help? I think its almost done and I would really like to see if this will finally be the right software for my projects (non of the others can cut the cake).

Installing on a WebHost Problem

2009-10-11T11:52:01+00:00

I have;

Uploaded all of the files
Altered the two files required
Created the DB and created the tables (thanks to a post on here)

But when I go to http://mydomain.com/tracks I get

Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /tracks/ on this server.

The folder has 755 permissions.

When I go to http://mydomain.com/tracks/signup I get

Not Found

The requested URL /tracks/signup was not found on this server.

What have I not done?

Tracks 1.7 database schema

2009-10-09T10:46:25+00:00

I am trying to set up Tracks 1.7 on a webhost where I do not have command line access. I have tried following the GoDaddy set up and seem to be almost there but I am getting errors about a table ‘recurring_todos’ that doesn’t seem to exist in the database schema provided.

I have seen a previous thread asking for the schema but unfortunately they found another way around the problem.

Installing on Shared Web Server with MySQL

2009-10-11T07:56:19+00:00

I am trying to install Tracks on a shared Web Server but I am having trouble as the only database option is for me to use MySQL.

I have created my db using php My Admin, but can not find a way to structure my database so that it works.

I do not have SSH access and it will take over a week to get it as I have to post a form and documents off to my host who will then review it and will allow access.

It would seem that this is a common problem with so many people asking for the db schema.

Any suggestions?
