Use the following curl command to POST xml data to the Batchbook api people endpoint. This will create a new Person contact in the apitest account.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d "xml-string-data" "url"

where "xml-string-data" is something like:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <person> <about nil='true'/><champion type='boolean'>false</champion> <first-name>MyXml</first-name> <last-name>ApiTest</last-name> <middle-name nil='true'/> <name nil='true'/> <prefix nil='true'/> </person>

Here's some errors I ran into:

I am getting nil country.states error when at checkout/address. I tried to dig around in the code, but haven't gotten too far. I do have a default country ID set, so maybe my default @order.address is nil...I will need to debug further. Again, this is with a fresh postgresql database.

(Also, where is checkout#edit action? There's a lot of modules to dig into and I haven't been able to find it. If I find the edit action, I would throw a debugger in there to see what my @order has)

So that was all on heroku (https://partsomobile.herokuapp.com/).

I felt I should have been testing locally first, so I started my server and I added a product called mug, but do not see where I specify quantity available.

Make sure that your init.d or upstart scripts to manage Unicorn and its workers are taken into account when capistrano-unicorn is doing the unicorn restart / reload / duplication tasks.

I did not think to look at these scripts when I had to debug the stale pid file / already running / unable to listen on socket errors. But it makes sense, as upstart starts Unicorn when it is not running, and then capistrano-unicorn is also attempting to start Unicorn.

I combine these capistrano tasks and hooks with Monit and a Unicorn init script.

Capistrano tasks:

namespace :monit do
