search for: mod_proxy_balanc

...'m relying heavily on http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/apache.html. I have noted that a number of sources mention the necessity of having the mod_balancer module installed in Apache. However, my primary source makes no mention of this; but instead, mentions only the requirement of having the mod_proxy_balancer module installed. I''m confused. In an effort to resolve the confusion, I''m hypothesizing that the references I''ve read to mod_balancer were really just mal formed references to mod_proxy_balancer. I know, it''s a stretch, but I really don''t know how...

Rails instances themselves are almost always single-threaded, whereas Mongrel, and it''s acceptor, are multithreaded. In a situation with long-running Rails pages this presents a problem for mod_proxy_balancer. If num_processors is greater than 1 ( default: 950 ), then Mongrel will gladly accept incoming requests and queue them if its rails instance is currently busy. So even though there are non-busy mongrel instances, a busy one can accept a new request and queue it behind a long-running requ...

Hello list, I wonder if someone could help me understand the following: I''ve got a managed dedicated server with GoDaddy. Until now, I''ve only hosted PHP applications there. I now need to set it up to host my new beloved Rails application. I asked them to set up apache with mod_proxy_balancer for the mongrel cluster, however, here''s what they told me: *Unfortunately, we will be unable to install mod_proxy or mod_proxy_balancer, as having an open proxy on the server is a violation of our Terms of Service <https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/agreements.asp?ci=8924>. * * ** *...

Cheers, I''ve just published a blog post about scaling Rails with Apache 2.2, mod_proxy_balancer and Mongrel. This way you do not need another proxy server or load balancer for Mongrel. Just use Apache 2.2 and mod_proxy balancer. http://blog.innerewut.de/articles/2006/04/21/scaling-rails-with-apache-2-2-mod_proxy_balancer-and-mongrel Jonathan -- Jonathan Weiss http://blog.innerewut.de

Our Mephisto install kills Mongrels and causes Apache to pound the CPU. This started when we moved to Apache+mod_proxy_balancer+Mongrel. Here''s what we know: The following things are working OK, except when used in the combination listed above: mongrel, mongrel_rails, MySQL, Apache, mod_proxy_balancer. We believe these are all OK because we moved five other Rails apps to this configuration on the same box,...

...I''m essentially using the process Zed outlines in a previous message: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2006-May/000200.html What I''m running into is that Mongrel appears only half as fast as Apache when serving a small static HTML file. If I then add in Apache with mod_proxy_balancer, going to a single Mongrel, it drops down to nearly about a third of what pure static Apache will do. This seems bogus to me, and I suspect I have either some configuration problem, or something. My understanding from what I''ve read is that Mongrel should be fairly close to Apache when...

Hello everyone- I am considering using Mongrel and I have read this list pretty extensively. I know that the Apache/mod_proxy_balancer/mongrel approach is the preferred one right now, with Apache serving the static content via mod_rewrite and such. However, in my hardware arsenal, I already have an old and trusty LocalDirector, which I would be inclined to at least try first as a substitute for Apache/ mod_proxy_balanc...

Hello all, My Rails app is logging some rather strange requests: Processing StoreController#index (for ::1 at 2006-07-03 13:18:48) [GET] Session ID: ed5e2a0e5b4b9290835a969cdd749e6e Parameters: {"action"=>"index", "controller"=>"store"} Completed in 0.08174 (12 reqs/sec) | Rendering: 0.07951 (97%) | DB: 0.00000 (0%) | 200 OK [http://127.0.0.1/]

I started the mongrel_cluster and tried to use the RewriteRule to forward the requests to proxy_balancer just as the http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/apache.html said. When I visited my site from a remote computer, I always got the error messages "Forbidden, You don''t have permission to access / on this server." Finally, I added the "Allow from all" property (in the

I recently moved an app. from lighttpd + fastcgi to apache 2.2 + mod_proxy_balancer + Mongrel.

...to implement output compression in Mongrel (ala Apache''s mod_deflate). I have found a Rails plugin that, with minor modification, works. Is there even an advantage to moving the output compression from the Rails app to a Mongrel handler?

Gang- We are getting ready to launch our ROR application; the last item remaining is the deployment platform. For testing, we had used Apache + MOD_FastCGI. I am not that impressed with it; sometimes it has strange effects. For example, when we start the application, for about 5 minutes or so, the app is very unstable and it gets better over time. My questions is .. should I go with (1)

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...

We have been searching for a Rails deployment architecture which works for us for some time. We''ve recently moved from Apache 1.3 + FastCGI to Apache 2.2 + mod_proxy_balancer + mongrel_cluster, and it''s a significant improvement. But it still exhibits serious performance problems. We have the beginnings of a fix that we would like to share. To illustrate the problem, imagine a 2 element mongrel cluster running a Rails app containing the following simple con...
