Hi y''all,
An prerelase of mongrel_cluster 0.1.3 is available for testing with
the Mongrel 0.3.13 prerelease. This release contains bug fixes and
adds a Ruby script for managing all applications on a server with a
single command.
To install:
gem install mongrel_cluster --source=http://
railsmachine.rubyforge.org/releases/
Changes:
* Suppress output from mongrel_rails.
* Added a verbose option (-v, --verbose) to print output from
mongrel_rails.
* Added support for changing the user/group of mongrel_rails process.
* Added bin/mongrel_cluster_ctl to start/stop all clusters on a
server. Usage: mongrel_cluster_ctl (start|stop|restart) [options]
* Addred resources/mongrel_cluster
* Fixed bugs in Capistrano recipes with mongrel_config variable.
* Remove use_sudo from configure_mongrel_cluster task.
* Changed restart_mongrel_cluster task to call stop/start.
* Added Capistrano tasks to support mongrel_cluster_ctl.
Known issues:
* Output suppression doesn''t quite work as expected. Some messages
from "mongrel_rails start" are not suppressed.
* Changing user/group should no-op if specified user/group is the
same as caller (may require Mongrel patch).
* Documentation.
* Win32 needs love.
How to automatically start Mongrel clusters on system boot with
mongrel_cluster_ctl:
1. Create /etc/mongrel_cluster
2. Create a symlink to the configuration files of clusters that you
want to automatically start/stop. You can also use the
setup_mongrel_cluster_ctl Capistrano task.
3. Setup start on boot and stop on shutdown. The gem contains an
init.d script that works with RHEL/CentOS/Fedora.
Red Hat systems:
- Copy from resources/mongrel_cluster bash script to /etc/init.d/
mongrel_cluster.
- run "chkconfig --level 345 mongrel_cluster on" to enable
running mongrel_cluster_ctl on start up.
- start all clusters with "service mongrel_cluster start"
- stop all clusters with "service mongrel_cluster stop"
Other systems:
- Look at resources/mongrel_cluster bash script for example usage
of mongrel_cluster_ctl from a bash script.
- Modify as needed for your OS.
- Email me a modified version for your OS and I will include in
the final release. Please include instructions for starting on boot.
