Hi All, Just about to set up RoR on our server and was wondering what the ideal setup for RoR is these days? Apache 1? Apache 2? fCgi? Any guidance would be helpful! Thanks, -Adam

Or does anybody prefer fastcgi/fcgi? I''m using webrick for development, but plan on using scgi when I switch to production (because it appears to be an update to fastcgi, and I couldn''t get fastcgi working anyhow). thanks csn __________________________________ Yahoo!

Hi, While learning Ruby and Rails, I decided I just as well learn Linux along the way... It''s been fun, but I''m stuck at one of those exasperating moments... I hope someone can help me :) I installed Ruby 1.8.4 on Fedora Core 4, then Rails, then lighty, and then SCGI. I used yum to install lighty... and it already comes with mod_scgi. I created my first application in

This might be obvious to everyone but it is something that i haven''t been able to find an answer to. Do I need to have either scgi/fastcgi/cgi running on either lighttpd/apache for ruby scripts to work? If yes, why? I have installed the scgi server and i can get the service to run, i have also installed the following mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 mod_ruby/1.2.4 Ruby/1.8.2(2004-12-25) mod_scgi,

After quite a bit of searching and coding, I customized an init.d/bash script which allows me to manage multiple instances of Lighttpd server running Rails. It targets the specific PID address instead of the default binary location when starting and stopping /usr/local/bin/lighttpd process. This provides the ability in my case to have multiple lighttpd.conf files running many different instances

two problems, pls help...I''m under big pressure at work to fix this! I''m having trouble getting scgi and lighttpd running on windows - here''s what I did: On Win XP, I installed ruby, rubygems, and setup my rails app. All works fine with webrick. I then did: gem install cmdparse and gem install highline (as required for the scgi_rails gem according to

Hello happy Railers, I used to develop with a local out-of-the-box Apache and load times were pretty slow (like a few seconds each page). "Well, it''s the price to pay for no compile / cache / etc..." I thought. Nonsense. Yesterday I installed SCGI, and now I''ve got the best of both worlds: rails development env uses my very latest modifications, while SCGI ensures I

All of the documentation for scgi_ctrl says to run it from your Rails app directory, and I can''t get it to run from a single command line like you would in a system startup script. I''ve tried: scgi_ctrl -c /www/myapp/config/scgi.yaml start ...but that just errors out unless I run it from within the root of my rails app (/www/myapp). -- Posted via

Or maybe I crash it and don''t know why. Here is the setup: I have an action that will crash my debian sarge development box using fcgid, fastcgi and scgi running with Apache2, as well as fastcgi running with lighttpd, every time. Here is the action from the controller: ------------------- def crashme @orders = Order.find(:all, :order => "`id` ASC", :offset

So I''m getting ready to setup a production environment on my boxen (running Fedora Core 3), what are my options? I''ve seen a number of posts about FastCGI, SCGI, etc. and am completely lost as to what I should be setting up on my box (that I hopefully won''t have to touch for a while). I need to run Collaboa, Typo and probably 3 or 4 other apps on this, so

I have a webserver that''s happily running apache2 and PHP. I''d like to deploy a site that I wrote using RoR on that same server but read that there might be some conflicts with PHP and RoR trying to access the same MySQL database. How real are those conflicts? Could I mess up my running PHP site if I install mod_ruby and try to use Apache2? Would I be better off

Hello, If i''m planning on using apache2, should I use FastCGI or SCGI. I have tried both and have both working in non-production. I would just like to know which is perfered. Robert Boone -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi All, Alright, this release is getting closer. It''s nearly complete except the docs on my site aren''t written yet. There is however a full README with RDoc documentation and several packages including a gem release. Please check out the latest release at: * Announcement: http://www.zedshaw.com/ * README and RDoc:

I''ve seen several postings where FastCGI is being used with RoR projects, yet, most of the material I''ve read (Dave Thomas'' book, online articles, etc) recommend not using FastCGI anymore because it is a dormant project and hasn''t been updated since 2003 (I think???). So, I went out and got Simple CGI instead. It had to be compiled and installed from

hello. i''d like to share some feelings of mine after a couple of *weeks* intermittent attempts to have rails applications working on windows (XP) with fastcgi performances under apache (2.0). i''d say the software stack i''m using now will be fairly common as more and more new rails developers will join the bandwagon. what is stunning me is the fact that, even if

Hi, I have created a small :restart task to overwrite the default one: task :restart, :roles => :app do sudo "/etc/init.d/lighttpd stop" sudo "/etc/init.d/lighttpd start" end This works fine and lighty does restart, but the last command never finishes, so I never return to the prompt. Here''s my output: cap restart loading configuration

I see that lighttpd 1.3.14 supports SCGI. lighttpd 1.3.14 - 2005-06-15 18:10 Changes ------- * added SCGI support via mod_scgi * added hash-based and round-robin load balancing to mod_proxy * fixed range requests larger than 2Gb * fixed compilation on Solaris * fixed endless loops in mod_fastcgi, mod_cgi and mod_proxy * fixed handling of URIs for ''+'' and

Hi, Anyone know where i can find out more info on Reaper/Spawner. Currently, every time i add a new account on my production machine, i have to restart the whole server. After about 150 accounts, this puts a real strain on the server (it takes 3 full minutes before i can access any site on the server). I think reaper/spawner is my answer, but i am havving trouble figuring out how to use it.

Hello, I have an project running on a dedicated server: Debian, P4 CPU 3.00GHz, 1GB RAM, ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [x86_64-linux], rails (1.0.0), activerecord (1.13.2) lighttpd-1.4.10 + fastcgi + mysql 5.0 7 dispatchers. The project is a game, so a typical user would visit 100+ pages. When the server is busiest, it gets 35-40k requests/hour. For some misterious reason after a number of hours the

I''ve run into a problem on one of my development machines. I''m trying to run multiple rails apps on one dev machine that runs Windows. Problem is that is seems that I can only run one scgi_service at a time, meaning that only one of my apps will function at a time. Anyone know how I can get around this, other than getting a *nix box (which I should have soon, hopefully) ?
