with:

$h3 = $g->find(‘h3.r’, 0);

@Victory
It’s possible, but you would have to update the javascript to take into account the DOM selection differences between browsers.

is it possible to just stick to POST/form-submit on all browsers?

In the kblinker script I wrote a while back, I wrote a couple lines that would take the query string via $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] and place it onto the end of the destination url. In that way anything attached to the original url would get passed onto the destination. So perhaps by that kind of mean.

Without using sudo, try executing ruby -v to see if anything shows up at all, if not try ‘which ruby’. If nothing still shows up then either the PATH isn’t configured correctly to Ruby, or Ruby itself isn’t properly installed. ’sudo’ itself doesn’t find commands per se, but is simply a way of saying ‘I want to run the following command as a super-user or root’.

I have a question regarding the cloaking script please. Just wondered how I can have the ‘bh’ url string allow a variable on the end. I’m using a tracking script which appends my query string with for example ‘http://www.bhurlhere.com?kw=23456′

regards

Andy

Hi kbeezie, good writeup. I just published a blog article about Phusion Passenger and Python today. Maybe you’d care to comment? http://izumi.plan99.net/blog/index.php/2009/11/21/phusion-passenger-for-python/

“We’ll need to download and compile Ruby version 1.9.1 patch level 129. While this is not the latest, I’ve had unconfirmed reports that anything newer than p129 is not fully compatible with Passenger.”

This is correct. Later versions of 1.9.1 have bugs in the ‘tempfile’ library. These bugs have been fixed in Ruby’s SVN repository but so far there hasn’t been a 1.9.1 release containing the bug fixes.

By the way, it’s not necessary to install Rails in order to use Phusion Passenger. Rails is only required if you deploy Rails apps.
