Backgroundrb devel - Oct 2006 - Please help with 2 (related?) problems

Hi All,

I was able to get the BackgrounDrb plugin installed, and even got the
example
progress bar working.  So far so good.  But now that I''m trying to do
something
a little more real, I''m getting stuck.

The first problem I''m getting is that the background task seems to be
getting 
terminated by Rails.  In any case, I am getting the following error as
the first
thing that happens in my background logger:

Connection reset by peer - (DRb::DRbConnError)

What might be the common causes of this error?


The second problem that I''m having, which I suspect may be related, is
that
my view tries to call the get_progress action, but doesn''t get a
response.

In the view file I have:

<%= periodically_call_remote(:url => {:controller =>
''parser'',
                                            :action =>
''get_progress''}, :frequency => 1) %>

And in the parser controller, I have (basically verbatim from the
example):

def get_progress
    if request.xhr?
      progress_percent MiddleMan.get_worker(session[:job_key]).progress
      render :update do |page|
        page.call(''progressPercent'',
''progressbar'', progress_percent)
        page.redirect_to( :action => ''done'')   if
progress_percent >100
      end
    else
      redirect_to :action => ''index''
    end
  end

When I run the controller, I get the following error in the log file:

Processing ParserController#get_progress (for 127.0.0.1 at 2006-10-17
23:23:23) [POST]
  Session ID: 7425fe7cfe8db2c0211d5046b5b8e166
  Parameters: {"action"=>"get_progress",
"controller"=>"parser"}

ActionController::UnknownAction (No action responded to get_progress):

Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem?  I''m fairly new to 
Ruby, Rails, and BackgrounDrb, so please be gentle. ;)

Thanks a bunch,

Todd Richmond
