Hi, Can anyone shed any light on why "reaper" (whilst seemingly working re restarting my mongrel ruby process) does not pick up changes to my application? (e.g. changing a title in a view for example). It''s like the "mongrel_rails start etc..." is just restarting the current process but ignoring the new details re...

Hi there, I have been running the reaper on dreamhost and I''m not sure it is actually restarting the processes will the reaper create new processes? because all the PID''s are the same before and after I run the reaper Restarting [1344] ruby dispatch.fcgi Restarting [10172] ruby dispatch.fcgi Restarting [21592] ruby dis...

Hello, I''m trying to restart my application fastcgi processes using reaper. But I get the following error: $sudo -u www ./script/process/reaper Couldn''t find any process matching: /var/www/example/200605200000/public/dispatch.fcgi The problem is that it should not look for 20060520000 but for current which is a symbolic link pointing to 200605200000. I...

There seems to be a bug when deploying a rails application developed in windows to a linux box. The rake deploy command attempts to run the command "/install/path/current/script/process/reaper" but the files do not have the execute bit set. What can I do to make sure either the execute bit is run or prepend the command with sh or ruby? Thanks.

fcgi_watch is a supplement to (or replacement for) <rails_app>/script/process/reaper. The standard reaper script searches for all processes started with a given pathname using the output from a ps command, and performs an action on them. There are problems with this approach, at least on some shared servers: - The pathname seen from a script is not necessarily the same as the...

When I try to do a deployment with Capistrano I get the error "No such file to load -- pathname" when Cap tries to execute reaper. Any ideas what''s causing this or how I can troubleshoot it? (Output follows.) Thanks.

...- the application - the DB I used the recipe of Jamis Buck modified by Geoffrey Grosenbach which you can find here : http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel_dreamhost I did the least modifications possible. As recommended. 1) When I launch the ''rake deploy'' it appears that the reaper and spawner script are not correctly "chmoded", neither is executable. So I get an error message "permission denied". 2) Anyway I connect thru ssh and do the work manually : chmod +x reaper chmod +x spawner ./reaper --dispatcher=dispatch.fcgi and the response is : Couldn...

Hi I''ve been using Capistrano to deploy my application for around 3 months now, and in the last week or so the reaper part of the restart/deploy tasks is failing with the following message: executing task restart * executing "/home/user/myapp/current/script/process/reaper --dispatcher=dispatch.fcgi" servers: ["myapp.com"] [myapp.com] executing command ** [out :: myapp.com] reaper: i...

I need to be able to restart my server based on a specific database change. I''ve been trying a call to system("script/process/reaper -a graceful -d dispatch.fcgi") but that raises a transaction error which rolls back the save. I wasn''t aware that after_save would rollback. That''s potentially useful but pretty much not right now. Here''s my code: def after_update system("#{RAILS_ROOT}/script...

...not savvy enough with Ruby to fully dissect the Swtichtower module, or the Net::SSH module. Can someone tell me what I''m missing? Or, better still, tell me how I can get Switchtower SSH commands to load a different PATH env variable? The reason this is a problem is because the call to reaper, at the end of a rake deploy, is failing because PATH doesn''t contain "/usr/local/bin". -Brian

I''ve looked through the archive to see if anyone else has encountered this, but didn''t find anything. The short version is, when I use cap deploy (and thus reaper -a restart implicitly), my app stops responding. I''ve verified that using reaper in graceful, reload and exit modes works as intended. The weird thing is, I watch the logs and see that my request is going through, but the page never returns. This leads me to believe that there...

hey all, So, we''ve been trying to get a nice stable config running for deployment with SwitchTower, spinner spawner and reaper, and I have to say, they are, as it says in the title, teh suxx0r. <warning>I''m annoyed, and wrote this while annoyed</warning> ;) The problems are rife: 1. Because lighttpd has no control over the fcgis, the restart process is delicate. Lighty frequently cannot "se...

...ication to a development server periodically during ongoing development. I''ve setup ssh keys to allow the proper user auto login permissions, but have ran into 2 issues. 1. When the script is run from a cron job as the same user as I currently manually deploy from I receive an error when reaper tries to execute - "can''t get terminal parameters (Inappropriate ioctl for device)". I''m assuming that the reaper script is trying to capture the PIDs to restart on the remote server and cannot since there is no terminal running. Is there way give a virtual terminal to...

I''ve got switchtower set up, and it seems to work fine except for one problem: It doesn''t successfully restart lighttpd. I have the following task in my deploy.rb file: desc "Restart the web server" task :restart, :roles => :app do sudo "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/lighttpd.sh restart" end This is on a FreeBSD system, so it''s using the rc script to

Hi, Anyone know where i can find out more info on Reaper/Spawner. Currently, every time i add a new account on my production machine, i have to restart the whole server. After about 150 accounts, this puts a real strain on the server (it takes 3 full minutes before i can access any site on the server). I think reaper/spawner is my answer, but i am hav...

Hi everybody, We have FLAC supported for input/output in REAPER (http://www.reaper.fm), and the problem is that when writing 24 bit FLAC files, the data isn't compressed (i.e. the FLAC is slightly larger than if it was writing to .WAV). The files play back fine, however, and 16 bit mode works great. We're using flac-1.1.2, built on win32 with MSVC6 w/...

Im trying to get a new app up on dreamhost. What fun :/ Id like to try out the ''frao_handler'' which just keeps dreamhost from automatically killing my fcgi processes. But Im also worried about things getting out of hand. I seem to remember that captures in views can cause problems with fcgi (I might just be making that up????), and I do have few in my app. And well Im

All, Looking into Capistrano I have yet to come across anything that discusses the necessary permissions needed to do a restart of the FCGI processes. >From what I can see I have two options, run lighttpd as my normal www.wwwuser/group which does not have a shell account and give sudo rights to the user Capistrano logs in to the app server as. Or give lightty a shell account so that

Hi, I have created a small :restart task to overwrite the default one: task :restart, :roles => :app do sudo "/etc/init.d/lighttpd stop" sudo "/etc/init.d/lighttpd start" end This works fine and lighty does restart, but the last command never finishes, so I never return to the prompt. Here''s my output: cap restart loading configuration
