greetings, anyone know why the below will not start merb via monit? start program = "/usr/bin/merb -u nobody -G nogroup -e production -d - m /var/www/manwith/" it works fine from the command line, but not from monit. path problem, or env problem maybe? thanks jw

Alright, I have googles and read through the docs on monit I get this error when adding -v starting monit monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support? monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support? Am I missing something here? set daemon 120 set logfile syslog facility log_daemon set mailserver localhost set httpd port 28212

Hello all, So, I''ve been using monit with mongrel for a while now, since the 0.3.x days (I think it was). It used to work fine, but now I seem to be having some trouble. I''m currently using mongrel 1.0.1 and I am using the same monit configuration I''ve always been using, yet everytime monit should restart mongrel, I get "Execution failed". For the start

On one of my development servers mongrel dies when idle for any length of time. Since I''ve not been able to solve that problem I thought I''d route around it by using monit to kick things when necessary. My monitrc contains the following... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- check process mongrel_8310 with pidfile

Hey All, I just wanted to get other peoples take on problems when running merb in production? Just as Rails used to do, the mongrels tend to get heavy/unresponsive over time so need a good kicking by a watcher daemon like god or monit. However, I have had serious problems getting God to restart the process, as the "merb -k <port>" command doesnt appear to work reliably

Hi! I run a mongrel cluster with 6 mongrels in it. I want to monitor them individually for process hangs (and then restart them) and this is the solution I came up with: Here''s my configuration file for monit (/usr/local/etc/monitrc): [snipped relevant bits] ------ #check lighttpd process check process lighttpd with pidfile /var/run/lighttpd.pid start program =

Greetings - I dug around a bit and I couldn''t find a definitive answer to this question, apologies if it''s been covered before. A box running a apache 2.2 -> mongrel cluster for a rails app got power cycled at my ISP. Unfortunately monit couldn''t start the mongrel processes because the pid files were still there. Here is my monit config (for each mongrel

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

Hi everyone, I''m trying to use monit to monitor a backgroundrb process (that gets killed occasionally), but I cant seem to seem the start or stop commands to work (i simply get ''execution failed'') - though they do work fine from the command prompt. I''m not doing anything particularly sophisticated: check process backgroundrb_11006 with pidfile

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

I have this configuration: class monit { # Installing packages. package { "monit": ensure => latest; } file { "/etc/default/monit": owner => "root", group => "root", mode => "0644", source => "puppet:///monit/etc/default/monit", } file { "/etc/monit/monitrc": owner => "root", group =>

geetings, after my MERB app was up for about 48 hours I started to get Mysql::Error: MySQL server has gone away mysql hadn''t gone away, it is still running as the same process as when merb started. any advice on having ActiveRecord reconnect if this happens? thanks - jw

I''m trying to emulate the mongrel_cluster_ctl but it takes a -c conf_file option... meaning I can run it from anywhere as long as I tell it where the conf file is. Merb doesn''t have that capability does it? (it has an additional/supplemental config like mup.conf etc) Do I have to be under the merb_app root /path/to/merb/app/ to be able to run merb? Let me know. Thanks,

Might there be anything CentOS related on why I cannot access the Monit GUI system on http://box-running-monit.com:2812 ? I am using a very basic /etc/monit.conf config, but I cannot get it serve the web page on my box The service start and stops fine (e.g. "/etc/init.d/monit start"), and I have it set to listen to port 2812 in the "/etc/monit.conf file" (so far, kept the

I started emailing monit mailing list because I started getting this problem where I couldn''t start backgroundrb with monit anymore, thinking it was a monit problem. However, I back tracked a bit since I had added code to my project, and monit was able to start backgroundrb again. I seem to have zeroed in on the problem. I''m not sure where the problem lies - maybe monit or

Has anybody here tried the "Monit" utility (http://mmonit.com/monit/)? I need to set up some kind of "watchdog" functionality for a custom service otherwise started via init (i.e. via a script in /etc/init.d + rc*.d links managed by chkconfig) and it seems like this system may give me nearly what I want. However, something that concerns me about it, is that it appears to

greetings, i have a project based around merb 0.3.7 and I do not want to fiddle with it one bit. and now I want to start a new project running 0.4.2(and beyond). what is the recommend method of starting merb from a specific gem version? thanks - jw

Hello, I''ve published a Q&A in the Vancouver.rb series with Brock Whitten. Questions include: * How did you get started with Ruby on Rails?

While I could figure this out, I''m asking here first to see if anyone has already dealt with/created this. I''m running a mongrel cluster, running 4 mongrels on ports 8001-4. I''m using capistrano to deploy. And I''d like to use monit to check to make sure everything is running nice. I''d like to have monit restart only single mongrels if they fail, and
