I am the developer of FreeMIS - an Open Source management information system for schools. It currently holds the data for one school - so different schools host different instances of FreeMIS. I would like to expand the domain of a single instance of FreeMIS, so that it covers all the schools in an education authority. THis will enable me to implement authority-wide functionality. Is there

Hey. I have a very annoying problem, and was wondering what is wrong. Suppose I have backgroundrb running, and then I have an action in some controller. In the action I define a worker. When leaving the action, suddenly the connection to backgroundrb is lost: DRb URI: druby://localhost:22222 Pid: 3976 Autostart... done druby://localhost:42531 - #<Errno::EBADF: Bad file descriptor -

I have a simple Yes/No selection list that I am using in a number of places. Thinking that I could DRY things out a bit, I added it to application_helper.rb ... YES_NO = [ [ "Yes", true ], [ "No", false ] ].freeze So I figured I would use it there instead of in each model.rb where needed. anyway, in webrick screen, I am continually seeing this...

Hi the list people, hi Ezra, I just read from this message http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/backgroundrb-devel/2006-July/000134.html that BackgrounDRb will offer a way to kill a worker from within itself. As this message is from 7/25, I wonder if this feature has been added since. If not, is there any way to do it? I tried this: MiddleMan.delete_worker(@_job_key) But it raise: uninitialized

...ng anything more than helping them get ramped up, but they''ll be in charge of doing all the stuff you folks want and are basically the owners from now on. Everyone in the new volunteer list will probably do a little announce, but here''s the list once again: Ezra Zygmuntowicz <ezmobius at gmail.com> "Kirk Haines" <wyhaines at gmail.com> "Wayne E.

Hi, I''ve done some benchmarking on our new servers (being built now), AMD X2 5600, gentoo-hardened. With the same CFLAGS (safe cflags: -march=k8 -O2) I''ve tested the following configs: 1, emerge ruby rubygems, then gem install mongrel (or emerge mongrel, the performance was similar) 2, download the same ruby version, untar, ./configure, make, make install, download rubygems,

Hey Zed- I had a user with an app that was leaking memory with mongrel but not lighty/fcgi. I have been doing anything I can to track it down. I already did the Mutex patch to use unshitf and pop instead of shift and push and it didn''t really help much. The mem leak only really shows up when you use the wsess option to httperf. The other day I saw a ruby C extension that

Hello there, I need a Worker Class to be Singleton-like, that means there must be at maximum one Instance at a time. When a new Request is made to create another worker of this type, it should return and wait for the other instance to be destroyed. what i need to do: i have a worker who needs to do sth with java and openoffice, and it seems when i have more tha one worker simultaneously,

Is there anything mongrel cluster gives you that monit doesn''t? I''ll be using monit to monitor a number of other services anyways, so it seems logical to just use it for everything including mongrel. Chris

Hello all, Last week, I finally decided to put into motion some ideas I''ve been kicking around for a year in my head since last year... Basically I don''t want to have to deal with threads or support platforms that rely on or encourage threads. Especially given MRI 1.9 where kernel threads are more difficult to debug than green ones. Given the limited scope of this project,

Howdy Folks- I''m happy to announce a new release of BackgrounDRb! I have added quite a few new features and included some nice patches from folks on the list. $ script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/backgroundrb All of the code now stays within the plugin and the start and stop scripts are now just stubs. This makes it easier to tweak or figure out how it works.

Hello Everyone, Been head down with personal stuff, but I wanted to shoot out this email saying that I''ve collected the list of volunteers and decided that I''d just hand the keys over to them and see how they do. The list of people I have so far is: Ezra Zygmuntowicz <ezmobius at gmail.com> "Kirk Haines" <wyhaines at gmail.com> "Wayne E. Seguin" <wayneeseguin at gmail.com> Nate Jones - (mt) Media Temple" <nate at mediatemple.net> filipe <filipe at icewall.org> What I''m planning to do is add these people to the...

I''m just wondering. Is there an easy way to take a hash that I have and store it in a DB text column and then read it as a hash from it again. The reason is that I have a db table called contents. But it stores all kinds of information and even data that I do not know of yet. I know I could store it inside the text column using XML or YAML or something else but then I would have to

Hi -- I have been reading documentation and googling around to find the correct way to do this but I have found many ways that seem to not work, or the documentation makes no reference to. I am using mongrel cluster with 10 mongrels for each server. Recently I installed monit but which lead me to find the correct way to start/stop mongrel instances one pid at a time. I am assuming one pid at a

If there is an exception raised in my worker I rescue it and throw it into the log. This is decent, but it would really help to find out more information. Like the line number, the stack trace, etc. Is this possible? Thanks for your help.

Hi, Not sure if this was posted before.... Is there a way to tell the backgroundrb server to reload workers a la rails in dev mode ? It seems that I have to cycle the server everytime I change my workers... Also has anyone cooked up a script for monitoring the background drb process on a nix OS ? ie rc init for server startup and making sure the process is happy

Hi All, I have this small doubt. Does backgroundrb have anything to do with dispatch.fcgi? some dispatch.fcgi are taking memory as much as 186 MB .... this is monstrous man... Also, if i put load rails environment with backgroundrb.yml file to be false.What will happen? i just loses access to db through ActiveRecord right? I can still use normal mysql gem to access db and modify the

Hi there, I''ve been digging around trying to find some information (mostly examples) on how one would handle a progress bar upload using BackgrounDRb and File Column. I did read http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/ and Ezra''s blog of course, but I still have a few questions. I made a simple upload form (as a test) that is submitted to the "upload_song" action. def

Hello, I am running OS X Server version 10.4.6 and I already have some MySQL databases working on the server. I install the RubyGem recently, however, it does not work correctly with the default MySQL. I am wondering if anybody can shed some light on: 1): how to reinstall ruby''s mysql library on the OS X server, 2): Is it possible to keep the old database files intact while reinstall

Hey there, I''m kinda new to BackgrounDRb but I''m facing a big problem which I can''t seem to wrap my head around. The short version of it is : code that works when tested inside RoR''s console doesn''t work when executed by a BackgrounDRb worker. So I''ve tried a lot of things, including checking that the "load_rails" was true in the
