This may be a silly question as I’m not overly familiar with yaws but does anyone know how I can get yaws to pull in the new compiled code after I make a change.

At the moment I’m making a change to a template file, calling erlyweb:compile and then killing the yaws process and restarting it completely (calling yaws:restart() doesn’t seem to have any effect).

I’m guessing there’s a much better way to do this… suggestions?

Hi all, Ubuntu Edgy still has a bad erlang package, it has issues that will make thinks look like they work but they won’t (dynamic binding issues caused during compilation ). Use Fiesty or Dapper for ubuntu.

Yariv, have you had any problems with ErlyWeb and Erlang R11B-3? I have encountered some weird problems with ejabberd and that version and hope that ErlyWeb is not as picky :-)

Thank you Yariv. And I’m sorry if I came across as an asshole. I just was very stressed after hours of attempts to get Erlang, Yaws and Erlyweb installed on Ubuntu. Thank you for your work and for what it is a terrific framework.

Friend, thanks for bringing this issue to my attention. I will write an article focussing on how to get started with ErlyWeb assuming the reader is new to Erlang. I didn’t know it could be so painful.

Sorry dude but your framework is never going to make it if you don’t provide clear instructions on how to install it. Start from the basics and move step by step.

“Get erlang”, “get yaws” is not going to cut it. Tell me step by step what I need to install for erlang and how, same for yaws. “Copy ebins” is not an instruction… What’s the erlang shell? (Is it elr, erlc, or something else?) I’ve spent countless hours on this shit and I couldn’t get it to work. Please please provide a guide step by step for those who are not Erlang programmers.

Regarding Mnesia, the next version of ErlyWeb will have a Mnesia driver for ErlyDB, letting you access Mnesia in the same fashion as other DBMS’s. For now, you can use Mnesia directly. I think Mnesia works great as an in-memory cache for persistent data.

Partick, thanks for the enthusiastic feedback :) The off the shelf components don’t exist yet but implementing them on a basic level shouldn’t be that hard and would also make a good learning exercise.

I had been previously toying with erlang, now with RoR and i have decided!

ErlyWeb is THE way to go! :)

Although it’s bad that it has not got some off the shelf stuff (forum, blog….) :(

I am on string with time and want to push first pre-alpha before the end of this month! :)) Now the problem is that i will have to use RoR forum and blog software and ErlyWeb software :)

How do i integrate in erlyweb the auto-response system for user signup system? Any tools that are in use for yaws?

BTW can’t stop to say TWO TUMBS UP!! (^_^)
