Fixing Error with Pow, RVM, Rack and Rails 3
So I decided to enable back POW for easy setting up rails app in my computer. POW allows you to have .dev which link back to your rails app directory. Also I’m using Powify gem by 37signals. Instead of using rbenv, I’m using RVM — don’t ask why.
My pre-rails-3 apps works ok except for latest one. Reason being, I need to add .rvmrc and .powenv in my root application directory. Once that done, my rails app works like a charm.

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS just relased last few days, so I decided to upgrade my current Ubuntu 11.10 to this release. If you new to Ubuntu, please take note that LTS refers to Long Term Support. In short, LTS versions are the most stable for production mode and it release one in two years time.
Well back to my issue, once i restart my apache2, it give me lots or error, this one refers to ULIMIT set at apachectl script. I’m no expert with Apache, but this fix is working.

- cd uploadprogress-1.0.3.1
- phpize

next, you need to update your php.ini file and add the following line:
extension=uploadprogress.so
final step it to restart your apache server and you’re done!

PHP DOCUMENT_ROOT in Windows Servers
Being a Mac user somehow makes you tend to forget others in Windows world. Recently, one of my app failed to redirect my script to proper url simply because it was not be able to detect $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] variable. I thot I have already fixed this, but unfortunately it is not or my assumptions was wrong. So, being a lazy developer, Googling surely help me and found this solution:
// let's make sure the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] variable is set
if(!isset($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])){ if(isset($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])){
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = str_replace( '\\', '/', substr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'], 0, 0-strlen($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])));
}; };
if(!isset($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])){ if(isset($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'])){
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = str_replace( '\\', '/', substr(str_replace('\\\\', '\\', $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']), 0, 0-strlen($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])));
}; };
// $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is now set - you can use it as usual...
