Hello, Does anyone have a tutorial on how to set up a mongrel_rails cluster with apache for instiki? I have mongrel rails and apache working for two other ROR projects, but the setup for instiki is so far eluding me. Charlie -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I don''t know about doing a mongrel cluster, but running instiki on mongrel should be exactly the same as running instiki on any rails app. Apache shouldn''t know the difference (assuming you''re using apache for reverse proxy or similar).

Well, I tried to use apache as explained on the instiki.org site. I put
something like this into a name virtual host container in my apache
2.2./extra/httpd-
vhosts.conf file:
ServerName wiki.mydomain.com
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:2500/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:2500/
<Proxy http://127.0.0.1:2500/*>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
And it works, sort of. Every time instiki wants to do a redirect, it wants
to redirect to https, and it fails, because a different host is set up using
https. But, when I take the "s" out of http, and reload the page --
all the
pages work.
I have ssl set up for one of my rails projects on this machine, but not for
this one. I have another project set up without ssl on that same machine,
and that project works just fine.
The two working projects -- one ssl, one not -- are both running on
mongrel_rails and apache, which I like. So I decided to set my instiki
project up with the same config.
Trouble is -- I don''t understand what the setup for instiki would be
doing.
I guess I probably need to set up a Virtual Host container inside my
httpd-vhosts.conf file, with the mongrel config, and the reverse proxy
config. But when I try to do that, I get the same problem as without the
mongrel config -- every request tries to go through https.
Is the problem that this reverse proxy config will simply not work on a
machine that is running ssl for a different domain?

Not sure about SSL. I have a machine with 3 rails apps, all on mongrel, behind an apache reverse proxy. I''m not using virtual hosts, though. Here''s my (Windows) setup, if it helps: In the apache conf file, each rails app (including instiki) gets something like this: ## wiki Alias /wiki "C:\wiki\instiki\public" <Directory "C:\wiki\instiki\public"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride none Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ProxyPass /wiki/images ! ProxyPass /wiki/stylesheets ! ProxyPass /wiki/javascripts ! ProxyPass /wiki/ http://127.0.0.1:2500/wiki/ ProxyPassReverse /wiki/ http://127.0.0.1:2500/wiki/ # reverse proxy link mapping ProxyHTMLURLMap http://127.0.0.1:2500/ /wiki <Location /wiki/> #ProxyPassReverse / SetOutputFilter proxy-html ProxyHTMLURLMap / /wiki/ ProxyHTMLURLMap /wiki /wiki RequestHeader unset Accept-Encoding </Location> Each app has a different port, name, and directory. To run mongrel for the above example:> mongrel_rails start --prefix=/wiki -p 2500 -e productionThe prefix option for mongrel and the fact that the ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse directives are a bit different than recommended is to make rails redirects work properly. I could never get it to work right the way you had it set up. Hope this helps.

Ok, I figured out the problem. I have a line in my httpd.conf RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https" I set that to RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "http" in my VirtualHost for my instiki and all became hunky dory. I got the clue from your RequestHeader unset Accept-Encoding line. Also, I do have some minor redirecting issues -- I''m going to tackle those now with your hints.

hello charlie, here is the setup we use for instiki on our servers using mongrel_cluster --- user: mongrel cwd: /var/www/sites/instiki.org/instiki log_file: log/mongrel.log port: "12000" environment: production group: mongrel address: instiki.5uper.net pid_file: tmp/pids/mongrel.pid servers: 1 should be quite self-explaining. you might want to use mod_proxy_balancer (if you are on apache2) see http://blog.innerewut.de/2006/04/21/scaling-rails-with-apache-2-2-mod_proxy_balancer-and-mongrel for a better performance, you might want to try nginx (http://nginx.net/) which is said to have a better performance than apache2 and should compile on most systems without any problems (no dependencies). we are planning to move the main instiki site to nginx soon. regards, matthias On 10/31/07, Charlie Caroff <charlie.caroff at gmail.com> wrote:> Hello, > > Does anyone have a tutorial on how to set up a mongrel_rails cluster with > apache for instiki?
