This GemPlugin will gzip your HTTP responses from mongrel if the client says that it supports it (eg, most modern browsers). I''ve tested it in IE6, Firefox 1.5 and Firefox 2.0RC3 Install: gem install gzip_filter --source http://edenli.com Configure (assuming rails): cd RAILS_ROOT echo ''uri "/", :handler => plugin("/handlers/gzipfilter")''

Hello all. I too found out that I sometimes have some action that can take up to 10 seconds in my rails application. I''ve read all arguments Zed made about polling/and inbox strategies, and I think I just can''t work around my feeling that a "wrong" request that takes up too much time should be able to lock subsequent requests in mongrels queue. That''s what

I''m using a cluster of mongrels behind an apache 1.3 proxy pass. I''ve been passing the request to pen, which in turn balances the cluster of mongrels. Now, I''d like to be able to use a different server to send the static files created by the rails application, so I tried to replace pen with nginx. Everything seems to work fine except the environment variable REMOTE_ADDR.

Which web server does mongrel fair best with? -Ron

I read this article (http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2006-April/000084.html) and it encouraged me to ask if it was possible to host a rails app that had parts of it that were perl cgi. Is there any possibility of getting something like this working using mongrel? The goal would be to have the rails app control the authentication and authorization, then execute some of the cgi

Hi, due the fact that some peoples on the list looks interested to nginx i will tell you that there is a wiki out there: http://wiki.codemongers.com/ Regards Alex

G''day I''m just wondering if anybody knows of a way to get mongrel_upload_progress working with nginx? I''ve had a fair bit of a look around but havn''t been able to come up with anything, yet. -- - James -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, I am new to clustering and loadbalancing in apache, What is best way of doing it? How do I do the clustering and what tools do I need to use? Do I have those tools, I use CentOS , Do i have any tools in CenOs which comes default in it? And how do I do apache load balancing? should I rely on apache forums or mailing list or is there any way or tool I can use in CentOS? Can any throw some vague

I''m using mongrel as my http server. I was using yslow to evaluate the performance of my web site and noticed I was downloading the .css file on every request??? I use one .css file for the whole site and I though I would be cached? Yslow indicates that there is no expires date/time set for the css file. How can I tell mongrel to send an expires header with my static content? thanks,

I''m trying to sent a file to the iphone (which requires byte-range request support) using the rails send_file method. However, this fails, I think because of mongrel. I think so because if I send the iphone a file handled by nginx, it plays it fine. But then when I serve the file with rails the iphone can''t play it. Any ideas? Alex

This may be a nginx issue more than a mongrel one but I though folks in this list might be interested. Anyway, I have a mongrel_cluster with 2 front nginx workers as proxy. I recently replaced apache/mod_proxy for nginx, and I wasn''t aware of the 60 seconds default proxy_read_timeout so I went a head and tried to run a process via http GET. Normally because of the 60 seconds the GET I

My production server is using mongrel_rails on Ubuntu linux. With Firefox I can reach my production server with the URL: www.mydomain.com:3000/ but I can''t reach my production server with the URL www.mydomain.com/ Is there a way to configure mongrel so that I can reach my production server with the URL www.mydomain.com? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

After reading the digital shortcut and the documentation on the web site I''m confused. Which one should I use? pen, balance or nginx ? I don''t want to use a behemoth like appache and ssl is not needed so it reduces my choice to those three only.... What are the pros and cons of each? I don''t have much money, so the less ressources I use the better it is for me.... As

I am using mongrel_cluster with mod_proxy_balancer and would like to enable compression (assuming it improves throughtput) and limit file size upload. I configured mod_deflate and LimitRequestSize in Apache, but in my trials looks like the proxied calls bypass those directives (the conf goes below). Is there a way to get this? -- fxn # Adapt this .example locally, as usual. # # To be

I''m running a site that gets ~30k to 40k page hits per day. In the last 4 days my mongrel processes have been jumping into high CPU usage a couple of times a day to the point where my site becomes unresponsive (database on a diff machine with no load). The only way for me to resolve the problem and reduce load on the machine is to delete my rails cache directory (I have plenty of space

I have an Apache 2.2.3 (mod_proxy_balancer) frontend server that does not have mongrel installed. It does proxy requests to several other mongrel-only servers (each running 2 mongrel processes). Each mongrel node has the same rails code-base and it''s working perfectly. However, my question is when I add an upload file form... where is it going to physically put that file? I mean since
