similar to: Mongrel cluster with one app and many mysql databases

Hi all, My environment is ruby-1.8.4, rails 1.2.2, mongrel 1.0.1, linux 2.6. Now, i have a problem on memory leaks with mongrel. My site is running 5 mongrel processes on a 2G RAM machine, the memory of each process grows from about 20M to about 250M, but it never recover to the initial 20M, so i had to restart the mongrel processes once per day. The load is about 1M hits per day. Waiting for

Dear all, If you thought Instiki was a dead project, you were right. Since I''ve got a day job that doesn''t suck (Official Ruby Zealot of ThoughtWorks Canada), my motivation to do open source greatly sufferred :) But... but... but! Here is Instiki 0.11.0, and in this version Instiki is (finally!) moving to ActiveRecord backend and (finally!) has the File Upload feature.

Hello, I''m running a Rails application which must sort and manipulate a lot of data which are loaded in memory. The Rails app runs on 2 mongrel processes. When I first load the app, both are 32Mb in memory. After some days, both are between 200Mb and 300Mb. My question is : is there some kind of garbage collector in Mongrel? I never see the two Mongrel processes memory footprint

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

Dear all, I am researching solutions for "how do you squeeze as many Rails apps as you can on a cluster" problem. Environment constraints are as follows: * 4 commodity web servers (2 CPUs, 8 Gb of RAM each) * shared file storage and database (big, fast, not a bottleneck) * multiple Rails apps running on it * normally, the load is insignificant, but from time to time any of these apps

Hello. I just seen some errors in my mongrel application log: It seems related to the httpd OPTIONS keyword Example: Processing LoginController#login (for .30.5.208 at 2007-12-10 09:00:23) [OPTIONS] and our ruby application does not know what to do with it. and finally send an error Does mongrel (which is the http server) is supposed to deal with these kind of request ? I think these

Hi, I''ve done some benchmarking on our new servers (being built now), AMD X2 5600, gentoo-hardened. With the same CFLAGS (safe cflags: -march=k8 -O2) I''ve tested the following configs: 1, emerge ruby rubygems, then gem install mongrel (or emerge mongrel, the performance was similar) 2, download the same ruby version, untar, ./configure, make, make install, download rubygems,

One problem I sort of always had with the ActiveRecord''s tight coupling to the SQL backend is how slow it makes the unit tests. OK, there are some ways to make it faster at a price of extra complexity (reusing the fixtures, doing a rollback in the end of the test, etc), but still - it is much slower than what I would like a unit test to be. Today I had a very simple idea (why, oh why

Is the dashboard output of 1.2.1 supposed to validate (I get numerous failures)? I''m seeing some issues that I hadn''t been running into before my upgrade. The first time I load the dashboard I''m seeing a blank area at the top and first button isn''t styled. When the refresh triggers the all of the projects except the first are duplicated and the

Hi all, It''s obvious (isn''t it?) that the world needed another Petstore.If it''s not, then let''s just say that for some esoteric reasons (to do with training and the JRuby project), some people in ThoughtWorks decided to create one, anyway. With rounded corners, gradient fills, autocompletion search, yellow fade effect and sundry Web 2.0 features... but no tag

If (like me) you use ccrb to test a Rails app and (like me) you define your own :cruise task, because, for example, you use rspec rather than Test::Unit and (like me) you have the RAILS_ENV ||= ''production'' line in environment.rb (because, like me, you use crummy shared hosting) Your build will run in production mode, possibly screwing up your production database,

Hello all. I too found out that I sometimes have some action that can take up to 10 seconds in my rails application. I''ve read all arguments Zed made about polling/and inbox strategies, and I think I just can''t work around my feeling that a "wrong" request that takes up too much time should be able to lock subsequent requests in mongrels queue. That''s what

Hi, Nice project. I saw the checkin for jbehave and I thought "SOLD!" One question, is there a reason that it cannot be installed using gem? It would make starting the server easy. Other people can also customize the server like they do with Jetty (which I think is the coolest servlet engine because of that). -- Shane http://www.shaneduan.com

Hi all: New to the list. Im enjoying mongrel. Coming from a background of weblogic clusters this is a dream. However I have a few questions: I have used HTTPerf to analyze metrics for an application ( rails ). My question pertains to the CPU utilization threshold: 1) Test with single mongrel server : sustained cpu util @ 98% 2) Test with 2 mongrel nodes in a mongrel cluster with apache and

Hi, I was wondering if this is normal or if it something i need to wonder about. I get Monit alerts that my mongrels PID files have changed. Changed Service MONGREL_2 Date: Tue, 09 Oct 2007 14:19:38 +0000 Action: alert Host: sa.greenling.com Description: ''MONGREL_2'' process PID changed to 18368 Your faithful employee, monit

greetings, i am getting the below error message in my mongrel log and I want to turn that 22 levels into a full trace. but i am unsure where or how to configure the debug level for mongrel. any advice? thanks - john /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-debug-0.9.3/cli/ruby-debug/ interface.rb:24:in `join'': can''t convert nil into String (TypeError) from

As this Caboose article [] suggests, I am not the only one who had this problem. RAILS_ROOT is a relative path on Windows, and it can bite you in unexpected ways. I had that problem while working on CruiseControl.rb. There is a trivial patch fixing it (by simply applying File.expand_path to the path before assigning it into the RAILS_ROOT constant): http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/7259 Best
