I am just getting into web servers/web applications and rails as well so bear with me. I am trying to write a web app that, based on a users input from the browser, will perform some task, and update the browser (ala ajax style) as needed and/or provide a way for the user to control the background task. Now, I have more experience with java servlets, which makes this easy enough for a beginner.

...ob, runs fine if called directly. But if ''distrib'' is true (the default) it runs right up to the call to the server and right past it without getting to the server or raising any errors. Am using Ruby 1.8.6.26 , Ringy-Dingy 1.2.1, dj 1.8.4. *********The server: require ''rinda/ring'' class ScriptServer include DRbUndumped attr_accessor :result def run(fullScript) myTS = Time.now.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S") msg = "===> Starting #{scriptname} in run #{scriptrun} on #{scriptenv} at #{myTS}" puts msg @result = "***#{scr...

...or all the existing jobs on the first backgroundrb server to complete before shutting the first one down. A flip-flop essentially. But then I realized that backgroundrb doesn''t currently support multiple servers on a single rails installation. I noticed a ticket contemplating the use of Rinda for a future release, but wasn''t sure if that implementation would address this scenario. I''m not sure if I''m missing something here, so I thought I''d write to the list and see if anyone had any thoughts. Thanks! Jason -------------- next part -------------- An...

My application is going to have a work queue of scheduled tasks stored in the DB. This work queue will be shared across multiple Rails app servers. I need a way to ensure that no two servers get the same jobs if multiple servers pop jobs off the top of the queue simultaneously. Is there a fairly simple way to acheive this? Or do I need to come up with some fancy secondary server to dispatch

I just installed Call of Duty 4, I when I try to start the game I get this message; Video card or driver doenst support enough textures for the DirectX 9 code path. I've used the same videocard for CoD4 in Windows, and its working fine. I have a Nvidia GeForce 7600GS card, and installed the drivers via Envy.

Hi all, I have an external web service that I need to log into at a specific part of my web app,. The problem is that I only have one login to this web service, and if another login attempt is made while an existing login session is still active, the existing session gets terminated. How can I best serialise access across my mongrel cluster to this external API? I thought of creating

Hello, Thank you so very much for Backgroundrb. Good Stuff. A general question: Do: - calling ''teminate'' within a worker - calling delete_worker through MiddleMan - letting the :ttl expire - calling MiddleMan.gc! (with an appropriate timestamp) All accomplish the same thing? And here''s a bonus feature request: It''d be cool if you could specify how many

...e spawned thread is killed when the invoking (Rails) thread exits. The code works with the join, but this defeats the purpose of what I''m trying to do as the UI thread blocks. Am I taking the right approach here? Will my results be different under Apache/FastCGI? I came across DRb and Rinda when I did a quick search. Because I don''t need to communicate with the background task, I''d prefer a really simple approach before I investigate DRb, Rinda or something else. Thanks in advance for advice and feedback! --Ed Lau -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I was just testing the memcache server on a Windows box and had set it up as a Windows Service and to my surprise (or my shock really) it was using 47+ meg of ram with no data even loaded in it yet. Has anyone else used the Windows port of memcached for their Rails projects and if so how much ram was it using? Does memcached use less memory on Mac OS X or Linux than Windows? Thanks for any

I have looked through the docs, looked at the code, even gave a cursory (2 page) glance at google, and it is not clear to me what SpecServer is or what it is for. Is it meant to speed up the execution of specs in a rails environment by doing some magic on the database? Or I am thinking it keeps a copy of Rails running to avoid the rails reload delay... Is there any documentation on this so I

Folks- I just commited another revision of the plugin. Nothing huge in this update but some extra features. Acl lists are now configurable in the config file. So you will want to blow away and recreate your config file again. Thanks to Georg Friedrich for this. And I applied Gunter Ladwig''s patch for singleton worker classes. These are workers that only have one instance of

Ezra, Suppose a chatroom application, a RailsApp + 2 backgroundrbs: MiddleMan1& MiddleMan2, running in 2 machines. When Chater1 login, RailsApp call MiddleMan1 to get something about Chater1 from db to memory, like his contacts or other personal settings. When Chater2 login, RailsApp call MiddleMan2 do the same thing. But who is reponsible for the Global Data? like a Online Chaters

I have a very strange problem here. I do not get this. So any help is greatly appreciated. Basically I have a model that calls a method in the background process in the "after_save" method. Let''s call the model products. So what happens is this: 1. I create a new product. 2. Everything works and the product is saved with id 13. 3. A method is called in my background

Hi, Is there any interest in allowing controller methods to do post-response processing? This would be useful where some time-consuming statistic or index processing should be done after the response has been sent so as not to delay a response that does not depend on that processing. This could be implemented by allowing the action method to yield to the process method which in turn yields to a

We are building a web-based application with Ruby on Rails and MySQL backend. The client now wants us to add various workflow features that will eventually expand into SOAP web services. These workflow features include tasks such as automatically sending reminders for due tasks, or if a particular set of information hasn''t been logged by a certain time to automatically send an email

I would like first to introduce my self to the community. I am Steve Beyer and I am interested in learning Ruby, ROR, and how to set up a production server. I am going to use OSX for my client/developement system but I would like to get some advice on what operating system you would recommend for a production server. I want to use Mongrel to start and then move up the ladder as my
