similar to: merb and monit

greetings, i have been trying to get merb and monit to play well. but monit won''t restart merb. neither will monit stop merb if it is still running but not responding. below is the monit config for the merb app. anyone know what i am doing wrong or have good strategies for using monit and merb? thank you - john weir check process manwith-4000 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

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

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

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,

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? What makes Ruby on Rails a great choice for developing web applications/sites? * Can you tell us some challenges you''ve faced developing using Ruby on Rails? * Off the Rails - Can you tell us a little bit about Merb? How

Hello, My name is Olle, and I am new here. I''d like to add some detail to Ez''s explanation in a previous email [1]. These are the steps I took to get Merb running Merb Edge (is that what you call it?). Start in the merb-root not in the dist-root. # Create dist/framework, plus script/merb stub rake merb:freeze cd dist rm -rf framework # Replace dist/framework with trunk

I''ve submitted a few patches on Trac to help get Merb running under JRuby [0][1][2][3][4]. It''d be cool if any of you committers could find the time to look them over and apply/reject them. They''re mostly tiny, so it shouldn''t be too onerous. With all of these patches applied, there are still 3 spec failures. One is in the spec ''a merb mailer

Hi All, I''ve come across the following problem with merb 0.5.3 (ruby 1.8.6 / Mac OS X Leopard). Basically, when I type ''merb'' or ''merb -i'' from within the app''s root, It starts, compiles the routes and then exits. Any ideas??? This is a brand spanking new merb app: josh at JDS-MacBook:~/Projects/schmerb$ merb Merb started with these

Just a quick question to those of you using merb and sequel or datamapper. How do you setup your merb app? For example: merb -X off -c 5, then run mod_proxy_balancer or nginx to load balance between the 5 (or whatever #) of merb nodes? merb -X off -d, then simply use something like proxypass merb -c 5, keep the mutex lock and cluster it haproxy, swiftiply, evented mongrel...... What

After a half day''s work I''ve created a Merb app to handle file uploads for a Rails app. In my dev environment, I changed the views in the Rails app to point to Merb on port 4000. But now I''m stuck trying to figure out how to deploy my new Merb app on a production server. Looks like originally this was handled with a rewrite rule

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem. I was running on merb edge fine a few days ago. Last night I went to merb 0.4.0 via gem install and now any call to session[:foo] causes an error >> undefined method ''[]'' for nil:NilClass I have uninstalled and reinstalled merb with no luck. dependencies.rb use_orm :activerecord merb.yml :session_store: active_record Gems

Hi, I have the following setup: class Fred < Application class InvalidKey < Merb::ControllerExceptions::Unauthorized; end def blee raise InvalidKey unless key end end I have added a view exception template in views/exceptions/invalid_key.html.erb but I am not seeing the exception page being rendered ?? The request seems to correctly go to

All, I have just updated to the latest release of merb 0.4 and I am wondering how I can get my controller changes to reload without bouncing the server ? I am running in dev mode but my changes to my merb controller don''t seem to get picked up on new requests. Also say I have a controller that needs to render an alternate xml format ie something like:

I have no problems loading any static requests, but any that are routed to a controller blow up. I''m getting a ''Bad controller'' error. The reason I''m a bit flummoxed is because the stack trace makes no sense. It terminates on this line: resolve_controller 68 /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/merb-0.3.7/ lib/merb/merb_dispatcher.rb As you can see,

Merbists, I saw a note in the attachment_fu source code regarding supporting Merb[1] as well as a post on the Caboose forum[2]. Has anyone gotten Merb working with Rick Olson''s attachment_fu to handle uploads for a Rails app? I''ve hacked together something, but it''s not pretty. Besides fixing the TODO mentioned in the attachment_fu source code to support Merb

Hello, I have written a Java applet that uses Merb to process file uploads. This works perfectly on Merb 0.1.0. When I upgraded to 0.3.7, all seems to work well, but I then started to see problems - when people uploaded certain files, the ruby process would spin out and start using lots of CPU, never coming back to life. Other files work just fine. The problem is almost certainly in my Java

I checked out the latest merb ''trunk'' and after installing it as a gem... (fresh install) I got the dreaded "fastthread not loaded: fastthread must be required before thread" error when starting up an instance of merb. Even without dRB. So I patched the merb.rb file to include fastthread before anything else if it''s installed. Check it. Merry Christmas!

Hi! I''m rather new to Merb, but I thought I''d give it a shot. I found that autotest wasn''t running my specs when my models were changing. Maybe this is because of how I have set up Merb, but in the even that it''s not just me, I''ve adapted Autotest''s mappings for Rails and have attached my efforts to this email. Unfortunately, you need to

I have just started playing with merb. I think this framework has great potential so ATTA BOYS are in order !!
