Hi ! My mongrel just starting spitting out these nice lines: The error occured while evaluating nil.accept. TELL ZED HE''S A MORON. !!!!!! UNHANDLED EXCEPTION! You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! Not sure what happened or why, but just FYI: Zed, you are a moron :-) Happy holidays! Gitte Wange

Hi, what is the preferd way to configure/start mongrel? [ ] with Mongrel::Configurator => HttpServer [ ] @var = HttpServer.new(...) @var.run I ask because the only debug methode i have found was in Mongrel::Configurator ;-) @Zed: are you also subscribed on nitro list?! regards Alex

Z-Man, DHH recently said: "And [_why''s] latest work on sandbox looks stellar. Making it drop-dead easy to run multiple Rails applications in the same Mongrel process without conflicts. Thumbs up to both him and Matz for getting Sandbox on track for inclusion with the next Ruby release." Does that mean what I think it means - that one or more Mongrel processes may one day be

Hello Everyone, This is the official 0.3.13.3 release of Mongrel. Mongrel is now released under the *Ruby license* instead of the LGPL. I''m hoping this increases the adoption of Mongrel even further and hopefully I can start pushing to get Mongrel included in Ruby directly. INSTALL As usual, you install it with your friendly gem install method of choice: gem install mongrel Or

Hey All, I''m setting up some mongrel servers.. can''t get it to daemonize. here is my configurator block:: config = Mongrel::Configurator.new(:host => OPTIONS[:ip]) do #debug(''/gateway.rb'',[:access,:threads]) listener :port => OPTIONS[:port] do uri("/gateway.rb", :handler => RUBYAMF::MongrelServlet.new, :num_processors =>

Just a quick note for a few new features/fixes available on the Mongrel pre-release and a new document that covers nearly all the big features and configurations for Mongrel. First, the document is http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/howto.html and it covers: * All the start command options including the fresh -G option to generate a config for -C. * The format and usage of the MIME type file (-m

Hello Everyone, Today''s Mongrel is the first release to sport spiffy pre-built win32 gems. This comes thanks to Wilson Bilkovich donating some Rakefile magic that does the stuff for me. Everyone who uses win32 should send Wilson a thank-you since without him you''d be a victim of my laziness for at least a few more weeks. People who are testing and trying Mongrel out should

Time for some all time pimpage folks. Me and Matt Pelletier wrote a small PDF book on Mongrel entitled: "Mongrel: Serving, Deploying, and Extending Your Ruby Applications" since we really wanted you to know what it was about. It''s published by Addison Wesley Professional, has just over 100 pages of goodness, and is available for $14.99 at: http://safari.oreilly.com/0321483502

This small patch extends configure_socket_options to support FreeBSD''s accf_http(9), which defers accept() until there''s a full HTTP request to read. Seems to work fine on 6.1-STABLE. DragonflyBSD should work too provided the /freebsd/ line is modified to match it. accf_http(9): http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=accf_http&sektion=9 -- Thomas

I do some indexing using acts_as_ferret in a rails app. I need to do some preloading of the index''s sort fields so that the first request that sorts doesn''t take 5 minutes to complete. I tried sticking my preload code in config/environment.rb and that worked but it gets ran in rake migrations, tests, etc, when it''s not really needed. Is there anything specific to

Hello Folks, This is the long awaited release of the Mongrel HTTP library that supports *Ruby On Rails*. I know tons of people have been waiting for it, so I''ve got a few things to lay down first before you get all excited: 1) It''s very very ALPHA support for Rails. It will run a Rails app, and runs my simple apps, but it''s not fast or correct as it needs to

Hello Folks, This is the long awaited (like 2 weeks) 0.3.12 release of Mongrel. This release has received heavier testing than previous releases and supports a whole raft of improvements to existing functionality plus some new stuff. For those not clued in, Mongrel is a web server written in (mostly) Ruby. Check the funny dogs and read the docs about it at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/. The

Hi folks, I''ve been working on the plugins system this weekend and I think I''ve nailed it down. The system will basically be able to load gems that are configured right to be plugins. It''ll do it fairly dynamically and shouldn''t require any configuration from the end user other than to install the gem. Doing this though will involve a bit of surgery on the

Hello Everyone, Mongrel is due for a 0.3.12 release which will feature some pretty insane goodies for everyone. There''s talk of IOWA support, lots of speed improvements (including sendfile support), a great Configurator which makes configuring Mongrel a snap (especially for framework implementers), and a ton of debugging stuff. WARNING This is a pre-release announcement for the

Hi, I have an application which is dying horrible deaths (i.e. segmentation faults) in mid-flight, in production... And of course, I should fix it. But while I find and fix the bugs, I found something I think should be different - I can work on submitting a patch, as it is quite simple, but I might be losing something on my rationale. When Mongrel segfaults, it does not -obviously- get to clean

Hi I posted this to the Ruby on Rails Talk group but I thought I''d post it here too as it''s probably a more appropriate group. Hope this is ok. I''m running a 2-instance Mongrel cluster behind Apache 2.2.4 with Rails 1.2.3. If no requests are received by the application for several hours (this usually happens overnight) then Mongrel stops responding and no requests are

Hello mailing list! (Ehhh, that sounds a bit silly, don''t you think?) Anyway, I''m glad that Zed allow me contribute to this project. Been using Ruby and Rails for half-year and lot of things I have learned running on win32 arena, that I wanted to share with everybody. As previously post on ruby-talk by Zed, I will create the scripts that made posible run mongrel as services

I hope everyone is getting something out of these recommendations. Today''s recommendation comes from the "Damn Common Sense" dept. of advice. Let''s say you''ve written a really really slow rails application. Best you can get out of the thing is 2 req/sec. What can you possibly do about that? It''s a common problem for new rails developers. Well, the

mongreleers, This is a hack for adding basic upload progress support to Mongrel. Currently, you can monitor the upload of any POST. I''m sure some work needs to be done to get it functioning with Rails. Save as lib/mongrel/progress. Anyway, here''s how to start Mongrel with it: require ''mongrel'' require ''mongrel/camping'' require

Hey Folks, I''ve been holding off the official 0.3.13 release so that Luis can get the win32 side very nice and clean. We fixed a major problem last night so it''s only a short time before we get it out. Luis is working really hard on it, so just be patient. In the meantime, I''ve been doing a code audit of the Mongrel code as it is now and fixing any little things I
