Hi, I''m running a rails (mongrel) based web service behind an apache proxy, on windows 2003. Sometimes I see a POST in the apache log that returned a 404 but nothing about it in the rails log. It doesn''t happen every time, 9 out of 10 times it works just fine. The post (is actually a put) comes from a .NET application uploading a small xml-file. The log message in apache looks like this [21/Nov/2007:15:56:15 +0100] "POST /archivefiles/173688 HTTP/1.1" 404 - .. and the vhost <VirtualHost *:8080> #Fix for Apache bug 39499 SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1 SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1 XSendFile on XSendFileAllowAbove on RewriteEngine On # Check for maintenance file. Let apache load it if it exists RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/system/maintenance.html -f RewriteRule . /system/maintenance.html [L] # Let apache serve static files RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -f RewriteRule (.*) $1 [L] # Don''t do forward proxying ProxyRequests Off # Enable reverse proxying <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> # Pass other requests to mongrel instance ProxyPass / http://localhost:4003/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:4003/ <Directory C:/rails> AllowOverride All Options FollowSymLinks Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> Has anybody seen this and know what''s wrong and/or a way around it? Regards, Sebastian
we had a lot of issues with apache 2.2 mod_proxy and mongrels.. just could not make it work. finally we moved to nginx as the webserver and it works really well.

sorry.. not windows: we did it on linux. the main problems we saw were a. proxy errors from upstream server and b. round robin load balancing was not very smart by mod_proxy; it queues up requests to busy mongrels even if other mongrels are idle.. and at high load we would see over 200 apache daemons waiting around for our mongrels to finish, which at several megs per apache daemon would consume all our memory. we had a choice of lighttpd or nginx.. we took nginx and are very happy with it. i''ve also heard good things about lighttpd (if that''s available on windows) On Nov 23, 2007 10:09 AM, Ralf Vitasek <neongrau at gmail.com> wrote:> what kind of problems did you have? > and since when is there a windows version of nginx? > > -- > ralf > > Am 23.11.2007 um 18:17 schrieb A.
