Hi, Are there any recommendations as to what is currently the most stable setup is for mongrel & apache? I read somewhere (probably here) that you should avoid using PStore for sessions. Are there any more of such recommendations? Also, what is currently the safest version of mongrel to use in production? Jeroen

Hi, Disclaimer: I''m pretty sure this isn''t a mongrel issue, as I''m pretty sure I had the same problem back in the lighty-fastcgi days.. After a postgres restart, my rails apps crash with this error: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (PGError: FATAL: terminating connection due to a dministrator command server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably

This GemPlugin will gzip your HTTP responses from mongrel if the client says that it supports it (eg, most modern browsers). I''ve tested it in IE6, Firefox 1.5 and Firefox 2.0RC3 Install: gem install gzip_filter --source http://edenli.com Configure (assuming rails): cd RAILS_ROOT echo ''uri "/", :handler => plugin("/handlers/gzipfilter")''

A couple of questions please: What is the benefit of having more than one Mongrel/Rails instance on the same machine, could one instance not serve as many requests as say three instances? Is Mongrel Cluster a Apache add-in (like mod_*) or a separately running load balancer which runs on a separate port, I could not work it out from the sample Apache config... |# Redirect all non-static

Apologizes in advance if this sounds rather dense, but I want to make sure I''m understanding everything correctly. We''re in the process of migrating from Apache2.0/FastCGI to Apache2.0+mongrel (why not 2.2? that story is too long and too uninteresting to recount here, but I will tell you that it involves RHEL and only using RHN rpms). The init script that comes with mongrel

Howdy. I''m working on a RoR CMS and need cached pages to all be in public/cache rather than public [in order to set svn:ignore on all the files properly]. I can get page_cache_directory set correctly and the pages are cached in the right place but Mongrel isn''t serving them because it''s only looking for them in public. During development I know I can set -r public/cache

Hello, I am running in to an error trying to run mongrel. The server starts but then trying to access any url in my application throws this error: calling Dispatcher.dispatch uninitialized constant RailsHandler::Dispatcher ./script/../config/../vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:477:in `const_missing''

Anyone familiar with: http://usefulinc.com/software/gnome-bluetooth/ And will it work with Centos' version of Gnome?

Zed, Very cool, finally got around to playing with StatusHandler and StatisticsHandler. One thing that was missing that I wanted was insight into _what_ the RailsHandler was working on, and what was queued up while it sat in single-threaded mode -- ie., the current list of requests. W/ the attached mongrel.conf, I hacked the RailsHandler to keep a hash of active requests, and spit that out

Hi, I just moved from 1.08 to 1.10 and now have one example failing, which, under 1.08, passed. Is the due to a change in behaviour? Here''s my spec (removed some passing examples) require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../spec_helper'' describe "A user" do before(:each) do @user = User.new @valid_user = User.new( :email =>

Hi, I''m looking to create a ruby script that loads a bunch of records and manipulates these. Where do I start? I got this to begin with: #!/usr/bin/env ruby require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../config/boot'' players = Player.find :all But it complains about a DB connection. How do I set this up? Jeroen

To Whom It May Concern: I have an ActiveRecord-based application (non-Rails). Life was grand until I upgraded ActiveRecord yesterday, after which point I was getting TONNES of these errors from my app and in PostgreSQL''s logs: FATAL: terminating connection due to administrator command According to Google searching, this happens when an external process sends PostgreSQL SIGINT or

I am using mongrel_cluster with mod_proxy_balancer and would like to enable compression (assuming it improves throughtput) and limit file size upload. I configured mod_deflate and LimitRequestSize in Apache, but in my trials looks like the proxied calls bypass those directives (the conf goes below). Is there a way to get this? -- fxn # Adapt this .example locally, as usual. # # To be

Hi, Just thought it was weird that Ruby doesn''t automatically cast ints to floats. Seems so un-rubyish irb(main):006:0> 12/16 => 0 irb(main):007:0> 12.to_f / 16.to_f => 0.75 Jeroen

This is a super quick announcement for a new Mongrel plugin called mongrel_console. It was inspired by a request from Tobias L?tke who wanted to tail out logs while Mongrel was running. What mongrel_console does is combine the Rails script/console with Mongrel so that you can control a mongrel server while using script/console. Sounds weird but it''s quite awesome for development
