hi all,
i''m working on deploying my app w/ apache and a mongrel cluster.
i''ve
started by copying the instructions and code from the agile rails book
and everything seems to be working fine but apache isn''t forwarding my
requests to mongrel the way i expect it should. there''s nothing in the
rewrite logs and nothing but 404 errors in the apache error logs.
http://127.0.0.1:8000/railsaction/railsmethod
...loads up my app in mongrel so all is fine there. i''m thinking
apache should have no problem when i browse to:
http://elsewhere.thealarmlights.net:555/railsaction/railsmethod
i get 404 errors...
is there some special incantation necessary to make this work?
the relevant parts of my apache config follow:
<Proxy balancer://mongrel_cluster>
BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:8000
BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:8001
</Proxy>
<VirtualHost *:555>
ServerName thealarmlights.net
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/weposs/current/public
<Directory "/usr/local/www/weposs/current/public" >
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog logs/weposs_rewrite_log
RewriteLogLevel 9
# Check for maintenance file and redirect all requests
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/system/maintenance.html -f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !maintenance.html
RewriteRule ^.*$ /system/maintenance.html [L]
# Rewrite index to check for static
RewriteRule ^/$ /index.html [QSA]
# Rewrite to check for Rails cached page
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
# Redirect all non-static requests to cluster
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://mongrel_cluster%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L]
</VirtualHost>
if anyone can help me sort this i''d appreciate it so much. i worked so
hard to get this far (and learned a lot) but i''m stuck pretty bad at
this point.
thanks.

Are named virtual hosts enabled in the main httpd.conf?

No, I don''t have any in there. The apache conf is pretty much the default other than what I pasted.

Okay, your vhost config (specifically the *:555 part) depends on it being set. Definitely check out: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html On 6/3/07, Michael Bannister <mikebannister at gmail.com> wrote:> > No, I don''t have any in there.

cool, this seemed to help a lot. my requests are getting rewritten and if i don''t type a controller name it loads the rails intro page. problem now is when i do specify a controller and action i my request is forbidden. the error log message looks like this: [Sun Jun 03 15:57:59 2007] [error] [client 70.198.82.115] client denied by server configuration: proxy:balancer://mongrel_cluster/controllername/actionname thanks so much for getting me this far...can you recommend what i need to do to get over this hump? thanks patrick peace, mike On 6/3/07, Patrick Berry <pberry at gmail.com> wrote:> Okay, your vhost config (specifically the *:555 part) depends on it being > set.

With the vhost thing cleared up, I would start with the "simple" apache config in the mongrel docs: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/apache.html Work up from there to the advanced. It should give you a much better understanding of what bits of the config are doing what.
