Sequel and Heroku
All, Since all three lists helped me quite a bit with this one, I thought I'd let everyone know about this post ... http://steamcode.blogspot.com/2010/09/sequel-and-heroku.html Iif you spot any issues,let me know so I can correct them and hopefully, this will help others who need to do this.

For example, I add the database.yaml file to .gitignore and instead store database.yaml.samle. Of course if you get the code from Git for the first time you have to rename database.yaml.sample to database.yaml and set proper credentials.

Related docs are here for others to save some Googling: http://docs.heroku.com/config-vars The heroku guys provide S3 credentials as an example (in the docs). So I guess they realise that those are sensitive details and take appropriate security measures.

git push heroku master CONNECTION REFUSED
Two-hours later, the simplest command isn't working for me: git push heroku master Here's what I get in response: ssh: connect to host heroku.com port 22: Connection refused fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly I've followed Heroku's documentation (Created a new SSH key, double- checked to make sure my public key matches with what Heroku has, gem uninstalled heroku and reinstalled it). Does anyone have a suggestion? The ONE that that I know I did differently was not use sudo when installing heroku. I'm letting RVM manage my gems... could that be it? What's strange about this is that I was able to use git push heroku master a few weeks ago when I was trying to decide if I should use Heroku to deploy my app. It worked then Thanks in advance! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group.

Re: How to deploy app with sensitive config information?
The general way to set up config values is with heroku config:add NAME=VALUE I have no idea what level of security that affords you that git would not, but that's all I know of.

Calling all forks
This seems to be a somewhat common use case for Heroku: I have a process that takes far too long to tie up a web request but doesn't happen often enough to warrant paying for a Worker. Right now I'm considering calling fork to handle this situation and I have two questions: 1. Will this work on Heroku? That is: are there any specifics about the Heroku architecture that would prevent forks? 2. Is there a better way that doesn't involve having a Worker running all the time? I've seen people mention that Workers can be spun up and deleted programmatically but I've yet to see what the API for doing so looks like.

I'm behind a proxy which blocks port 22. Will heroku ever allow pushes to port 443?
github added a url to allow git pushes to port 443 for those of us behind proxies which block port 22 requests.

Time Zone best practices? UTC? Local?
Hello, I keep seeing conflicting recommendations on dealing with time zones on Heroku, and I'm really not sure what to do. For example: 1) This post (which I think may be from someone at Heroku) says to use UTC: - http://groups.google.com/group/heroku/browse_thread/thread/8e7566a7b8223dd2/0e79d1cc3bcdc452?lnk=gst&q=time+zone+problem#0e79d1cc3bcdc452 2) This post gives a suggestion to specify the Heroku time zone in the application: - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2719330/heroku-time-zone-problem-logging-local-server-time 3) This post recommends specifying a TimeZone during a heroku db:pull call - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1416294/weird-time-inconsistencies-between-production-and-development And so on... I'm inclined to go with number 1, but does anyone have any suggestions/ recommendations/tips or "best practices" on dealing with this time zone issue? Right now, my time zone is set to "Eastern Time (US & Canada)" in environment.rb, and the date/time columns in my Postgre tables are set to "timestamp without time zone." The users will have their own timezone setting that will be used throughout the app. Is there anything else I should be doing? How can I eliminate any potential timing issues between development and running on Heroku in production? Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Error when trying to import csv: TypeError (can't convert Tempfile into String)
Can anyone recommend a solution for TypeError (can't convert Tempfile into String) when I try to import a CSV file? Of course, I'm able to import to my local Postgresql8.3 db. Here's the code: def csv_import authorize! :csv_import, ImportStandard file = params[:csv_import][:file] logcount=0 Standard.transaction do CSV.foreach(file, :headers => true) do |row| Standard.create!(row.to_hash) logcount += 1 end end redirect_to(...) end After looking at http://docs.heroku.com/constraints, I'm not sure if I can even import CSV to my app. However, I did read a few CSV importing related posts in the Heroku google group so I'm not giving up hope. :-) Thanks in advance!

Re: Bundler 1.0.0 Rollout
Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but can't you specify a group for those gems and then only deploy them in dev and test? So as part of your deployment to heroku you'd do something like: bundle install -- without gems_heroku_dun_like I'm going to have to deal with exactly the same problem so I'm curious if this will work for you.

Re: html to pdf on heroku
Hello Alex, i have recently ran into same problem with wkhtmltopdf, on my fairly complex view it timed out, while on simple (i.e CRUD views) it worked fine. I assume you are using pdfkit gem's middleware to simply generate the files. If that is the case, turn the middleware off and configure your pdf print in respond_to block in your controller's action This worked for me, now even the complex view generates as quickly as the simple views and i have complete control over which action gets a pdf view Hope it helps, Filip On 24 srp, 14:14, Alex Killough wrote: > Hi all-- > > I'm attempting to render a pdf of an html view in my sinatra app. > Locally, wkhtmltopdf works, but times-out on heroku.

How to deploy app with sensitive config information?
Hi, Deployment to Heroku is done as a Git push. For git I configure my app not to include any sensitive information so it will not appear anywhere. This includes email, payment gateway credentials, encryption key, etc. So how would I deploy that information together with the application without storing it in git?

Re: client_encoding and dealing with Asian characters.
I have no problem with Chinese, Thai, Japanese, etc, on Heroku's Postgres
database. I don't believe I ever did anything special to set this up in
Heroku. It just worked.
I did have an error with the mathematical fraction "½", as in Fellini's
movie title, but perhaps that can only be represented in UTF16 or perhaps I
was using a double-width version of the fraction or some other variation.
The fact that I can't see the problematic characters in your message on
GMail in Safari on a Mac suggests its the specific characters you're working
with that are problematic, rather than Asian characters in general.

client_encoding and dealing with Asian characters.
I run into the following error whenever I try to run a rake task in
Heroku:
rake aborted!
PGError: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xc1c1
HINT: This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not match
the encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by
"client_encoding".

The way I interpret it is that PostGres is not configured to read
Asian characters and that this can be configured via the
client_encoding variable, but I don't know where to go from here.
I'm in the process of finding which method is causing this and similar
errors and applying a begin-rescue block on them, but how do you guys
configure this variable and deal with Asian characters?
