I have a small intranet app with only 20 or so users. I''m currently using lighttpd w/ssl for production and mongrel for dev. I don''t think Mongrel supports ssl, but what is the easiest front-end to put in front of it? Pound? Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century

Hi Greg -- fancy seeing you here! Pound is very easy, but as always it''s probably whatever you''re more comfortable with. Apache setup is, if you''ve done it a few times, not terribly hard either. The line you''ll be using is ProxyPass and apache must be compiled with mod_proxy for that to work. When you want to proxy-balance between mongrel_clusters you''ll have to make the jump up to apache 2.1.0 or above (2.2.2 is out and stable) and use mod_proxy_balancer Good luck!

Hey Charles, I''m leaning towards pound just because Apache can be a bit of a bear. I''ve used it several times so I''m not afraid of it, but I''m only serving a couple thousand requests a day at most. I''m just looking for the simpleist thing I can use. The little research I''ve done talks about pound in front of a mongrel cluster. That is truly overkill for my needs, but I''m not sure if pound is only designed for load-balancing situations or if it is also designed to just sit in front of a single mongrel instance and just do the SSL encryption/decryption that I need. FYI: I would stick with lighttpd, but for some reason after a recent upgrade from SuSE 10 to 10.1 it no longer autostarts at bootup. Rather than troubleshoot that, I thought I would move to Mongrel for production.

Pound?Both Pound and Pen support SSL. The Pound instructions on the Mongrel site: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/pound.html Give instructions for doing SSL setups. You can probably copy the key gen instructions and use Pen as well. -- Zed A. Shaw http://www.zedshaw.com/ http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/ http://www.railsmachine.com/ -- Need Mongrel support?

The additional advantage is when you have to add an extra Mongrel you just increase a number in mongrel_cluster and add one more backend line in your pound config then restart. *That''s* scalability.

Thanks Zed, I will try to get that working tomorrow.
