similar to: mongrel cluster restart with capistrano fails but manually works

background: One of our developers is just getting started with Capistrano, just getting together a rudimentary deploy.rb, copied from one of our contract developers who is just getting started a bit too. I''m the systems manager and a complete Rails and Ruby newbie (who, by the way, cannot thank Zed Shaw enough for mongrel and Bradley Taylor enough for mongrel_cluster :-)

I posted this to the rails list before by mistake, and only later realized that there is a specific mongrel list. Uff, I got lost. I had mongrel_cluster 0.1working fine, even with capistrano (my own hack). Then came mongrel_cluster 0.1.1 and I tried to set it up, but somehow I messed up things and nothing worked anymore. So here is what I did: on production machine: (debian linux, rails 1.1)

Hey folks. Sorry for the SUPER long email but if you''ve been experiencing the same problems with restarting your mongrel cluster with Capistrano, then I have two solutions that have worked for me and I''m pretty sure will for you as well. THE PROBLEM I was having trouble restarting my clusters using Capistrano. I''ve seen this come up before on the mailing list and

Hi all I am trying to set up capistrano and it is failing when it tries to call an svn command on the db server, where svn is not installed. Here is the error message. ============================================================================ ============================================================================ [192.168.1.22] executing command [myserver.com] executing command **

I''m having trouble getting Capistrano to work on Dreamhost. I seem to be having problems logging in, but I can ssh fine to my dreamhost server from this machine. This doesn''t seem like a dreamhost specific thing to me, but I''m kind of stuck. Here''s the exception I get from "cap setup":

I am having trouble getting rake vlad:start to work.. here is the output: ivan:04:39 PM:www2.sustainablewebsites.com> rake vlad:start (in /Users/ivan/Sites/www2.sustainablewebsites.com) !!!

I''m playing with the mongrel clustering, and am having a problem getting 2 mongrels to start up reliably. This should be a pretty simple cluster, with just 2 instances running. My mongrel config (mongrel_cluster.yml) looks like: cwd: /deployment/installed/myapp/current log_file: log/mongrel.log port: "8000" environment: production address: 127.0.0.1 pid_file:

Hi, I''m calling restart from my Capistrano task. I have this in my deploy.rb file: # until mongrel_cluster updates to cap2... namespace :deploy do task :start, :roles => :app do start_mongrel_cluster end task :stop, :roles => :app do stop_mongrel_cluster end task :restart, :roles => :app do restart_mongrel_cluster end end (What''s the scoop on

Hey y''all: mongrel_cluster provides management tools for running Mongrel behind a reverse-proxy/load balancer. It is an extraction from Rails Machine, a deployment service and Ruby library that simplifies Rails application deployment. This release fixes bugs and adds a Capistrano task library. Changes: -changed pid file format to include port -only write configuration options

Hi all, I want to love capistrano and I''m so close. My error is occuring while running the update_code task...

Hello, I am trying to deploy on to OS X Server with capistrano+mongrel+apache2, etc. I''m trying to do a "cap cold_deploy" as recommended here: http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/ I had a devil of a time getting cap to find the mongrel_rails command (which is in /opt/local/bin) on the server. I set the

I just got the mongrel_upload_progress set up with drb and the setup was quick and easy, thanks to the good documentation on http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/upload_progress.html I''d like to get this set up with capistrano, but there are 3 things I can''t figure out: - First, I can''t get lib/upload.rb to run in the background - I''m not familiar with

It appears the spawner in Rails 1.2 will do Mongrel clustering. I''m curious what this means for mongrel_cluster. They appear to overlap in features quite a bit. I don''t think the spawner uses a config, so that''s one difference. Will they be different enough? I only ask because mongrel_cluster could, theoretically, be made extinct if the spawner script has all the same

I am fighting with this for 5 days... i''m getting crazy! Here is my deploy.rb: require "bundler/capistrano" require "rvm/capistrano" # Load RVM''s capistrano plugin. set :rvm_ruby_string, :local # Or whatever env you want it to run in. ''1.9.3'' set :domain, ''www.xxx.com'' set :application,

I run into a problem every so often while doing a cluster::restart where a child sleeps after receiving the KILL, but does not get restarted. This is caused by mongrel not shutting down until either all the requests have completed or 60 seconds have passed. The problem is that when the subsequent start command is issued it comes before the child has exited, so it never gets restarted. This is

Hi mongrel users! I just posted a bad-ass capistrano file that automates *everything* for setting up an apache2+mod_proxy_balancer and mongrel+mongrel_cluster -- including apache2 setups. It''s based off Coda Hale''s guide and all Bradley''s work at fluxura and RailsMachine (thanks Coda and Bradley!). It''s, well, bad-ass, if I must say so myself. My favorite

I have an application I''m working on which allows me to upload files. The files are stored somewhere in the public directory so that they can be accessed directly. When I deploy an update with Capistrano, I ''lose'' the files because of the current symlink points to the new checked out version. Before I start working on a solution, has anyone else already solved this

Hi, I''m trying to use unicorn in a test deployment of a Rails app that uses Mongoid, so Activerecord isn''t included in the app. When I start unicorn through Capistrano though, the stderr log fills up endlessly with identical ActiveRecord-related errors: I, [2012-12-05T04:19:25.375952 #5096] INFO -- : Refreshing Gem list I, [2012-12-05T04:19:32.941249 #5096] INFO -- :

I just created a test rails app, and am having very wierd issues with mongrel cluster. Here''s what I''m doing: rails test sudo chown -R mongrel:mongrel test cd test sudo mongrel_rails \ cluster::configure -e production \ -p 8000 -N 3 -a 127.0.0.1 --user mongrel \ --group mongrel It correctly writes the mongrel_cluster.yml file to the config directory. Now,

Hi, I''m in the process of moving my blog over from lighttpd -> apache 2.2 + mongrel. Everything works fine as long as I don''t reboot :) On reboot apache comes up but mongrel_cluster doesn''t start up the pooches... I have added the mongrel_cluster call to my startup scripts like so: www:/etc/init.d# update-rc.d mongrel_cluster defaults Adding system startup for
