I''m trying to get backgroundrb set up and working but i have a problem getting it to listen to our server. It works for me locally, with these settings - --- :backgroundrb: :ip: 0.0.0.0 :port: 11006 :environment: development :persistent_delay: 10 The problem is trying to get it working on our server. I''m trying it on our ''staging'' environment, with these settings: --- :backgroundrb: :ip: 0.0.0.0 :port: 11006 :environment: staging :persistent_delay: 10 I start it with sudo ./script/backgroundrb start -e staging and it is running - i can see, in the log file, the bdrb_job_queues table being checked every 10 seconds. But, when i try to make a call to it from the app, the background worker is called from my code but nothing happens: it looks like backgroundrb just doesn''t hear the request. I suspect it might be to do with the ip and/or port setting - i tried changing the ip to 127.0.0.1 but that didn''t help. We use an nginx server with a mongrel cluster beneath, and my knowledge of how they communicate re ip addresses and ports is pretty much nonexistent. Can anyone help? thanks max -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I fixed this, it was a dumb error on my part to do with how i was testing it. In the process i worked out how to write to a custom log file from backgroundrb (this showed me what i was doing wrong). -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Great work Max. Do you want to share with us what you did to create a custom log and actual troubleshooting process? Thanks.

I have two workers - one of them responds, the other doesn''t, and i don''t get any useful information from the one that doesn''t respond. I can;t think of a way to diagnose the problem :/ -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
