Well, I finally got something like a 0.3 release for Ruby/Event with an included SCGI server that can run Rails applications. The release is real quick so people can play with it and give me feedback: You can read the announcement at http://www.zedshaw.com/ This release includes the following stuff that Rails users will find interesting: 1. An SCGI protocol for clients and servers. 2. An SCGI server that can run Rails applications directly, and even supports pre-forked child listeners. The forking probably only really works on POSIX systems. 3. It only depends on libevent. Everything else is written in Ruby. 4. It''s as fast as the current FCGI based on my tests, but I''m not sure if that''s the libfcgi C binding or the Ruby one. Hell, who even knows which one is really working these days right? Now would be a really good time for people to talk about how they would want to configure this thing. Enjoy the mayhem, Zed A. Shaw http://www.zedshaw.com/
Hi Zed, Just wondering what kind of memory usage each forked listener attracts with this? We''ve noticed that each FastCGI listener consumes quite a lot of memory - something a bit more efficient would be great. I''ll have a play around with it tonight and get back to you.

Great work! I just configured the RaH typo blog for scgi (very straightforward!) and it''s now running at http://63.247.78.123:9000/ with 3 listeners. Looking good! Ben On 7/26/05, Zed A.

Hi, You need to just create an empty dispatch.scgi file: touch public/dispatch.scgi and set it executable: chmod +x public/dispatch.scgi Cheers, Ben
Hey Zed-
I''m loving this scgi setup. I have it working with lighttpd and
it definitely holds its own with fcgi. Only much simpler to set up
and manage it seems. I have a question though. Now I want to set this
up to work with apache1.3. I already have mod_scgi installed and
working, but I am wondering how to configure a vhost to use the scgi
stuff. Any ideas? This is what I have tried so far:
<VirtualHost vintnerssecret.com>
ServerName vintnerssecret.com
DocumentRoot /home/users/vintner/cart/public
<Location "/">
SCGIServer 127.0.0.1 9999
SCGIHandler On
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
I also tried this:
<LocationMatch "^/(page|store)($|/)">
SCGIServer 127.0.0.1 9999
SCGIHandler On
</LocationMatch>
But no luck. Any ideas on how to config this to work?
Thanks again for your work on this project.
-Ezra

So I am still working on getting this going with apache 1.3. So the
vhost now looks like this:
<VirtualHost vintnerssecret.com>
ServerName vintnerssecret.com
DocumentRoot /home/users/vintner/cart/public
<Location />
SCGIServer 127.0.0.1 9999
SCGIHandler On
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
With this setup I can request url in my browser and the request runs
fine and shows up in my development log with no problems. But the
browser just displays an Internal Server Error. So mod_scgi is
forwarding the requests to my scgi_server.rb but the content is now
making it back to the browser. When I look in my apache error.log
These are what I get thats relevant:
[Tue Jul 26 15:33:24 2005] [error] [client 66.224.1.206] malformed
header from script. Bad header=HTTP/1.1 200 OK: /store
[Tue Jul 26 15:33:24 2005] [error] [client 66.224.1.206] scgi: error
reading response headers
[Tue Jul 26 15:33:29 2005] [error] [client 66.224.1.206] malformed
header from script. Bad header=HTTP/1.1 200 OK: /page
[Tue Jul 26 15:33:29 2005] [error] [client 66.224.1.206] scgi: error
reading response headers
Any Ideas?

Re: [ANN] SCGI Server for Rails using Ruby/Event
Thanks for the bug report. I''ll look into this. It might be some of IO magic I have to do in order for the CGI class to work.

Hi, I have successfully deployed SCGI adapter to Rails, although with some complications. I think you have probably developer and tested it on some linux distribution. On FreeBSD 5.3 I had to symlink event.h from /usr/local/include/ to /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-freebsd5/ as the Makefile was generated without inclusion of /usr/local/include/ directory. I have no idea how to patch it in that ruby scripts and configuration files, so I can only help with this bug report. BTW, configure successfully detected functional libevent. PS> Libevent is installed in version libevent-1.0b, so you can update info about minimal version on your page.

Thanks, that''s great news. The event.h error you mention is probably because the version of ruby_event you have doesn''t regenerate the Makefile properly. Try deleting the ext/event/Makefile file and then re-run:> sudo ruby setup.rb clean > sudo ruby setup.rb(I use sudo, do what you need to become root.) That should clean you out, then regenerate the Makefile properly.
