similar to: byte-range requests

Hi guys, I''ve been chasing a problem in my web-stack: Lighttpd -> Mongrel -> Rails, and found a problem with the interaction of Lighttpd and Mongrel. If a request takes more than 5 seconds, Lighty will retry it - and then the requests / responses get mixed up in Lighty and it returns a bad response to the client. Not good. I''m convinced that the problem is

Hi, I''m trying to serve the iPhone a video file from my controller using send_file. However, it appears as thought the iPhone requires byte- range request support and rails doesn''t seem to support this. If I give the iPhone a url that points to an actual file (i.e. it''s served by my webserver nginx, instead of rails) it downloads and plays it fine. Here is the proof

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

forgive me if this has been resolved already... I have an app that is using sendfile to return large files to customers. We can''t use regular Apache to handle this static content since the files are what the customers are paying for - so it wouldn''t be cool for anyone else to get access to them. The issue is that the mongrel mem footprint gets bloated when the files are

Hello, sorry if creating a dupe... I''m trying to download files to authenticated users in my app. I''ve set up x_send_file. All seems to be correct to me, however when I try to download any file, I get a 1-byte long file downloaded. I am getting this already in development - so no Apache, no lighthttpd, just a mongrel_rails start in the root of my app. Any help/hint would be

After reading the digital shortcut and the documentation on the web site I''m confused. Which one should I use? pen, balance or nginx ? I don''t want to use a behemoth like appache and ssl is not needed so it reduces my choice to those three only.... What are the pros and cons of each? I don''t have much money, so the less ressources I use the better it is for me.... As

I''m building an application for a company that has thousands of clients, and for each client there will a set of documents that are private to that client. Rails makes it easy, of course, to show the list of documents on a per-client basis, using acts_as_authenticated and using current_user as part of the find any time a document list is displayed. The part for which I''m looking

I''m having trouble playing a video from my site on the iphone using send_file. It seems that I''m missing the Accept-Ranges header in my response.

Folks- James Cox, Alexy Kovyrin and I all huddled up and got nginx working perfectly with mongrel cluster and rails page caching. So all static and cached files are served fast by nginx and anything not static gets sent to mongrel. http://brainspl.at/articles/2006/09/12/new-nginx-conf-with-rails-caching Cheers- -Ezra

Hi, was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem and knows why or a solution. basically my mongrels seems to work fine. i am running three clusters all which are monitored by monit. monit has the ability to restart a mongrel if it doesn''t pass a port connection test. so the problem is that after some time. aprox. 6hrs. to 20hrs. after clusters are started, the mongrels get

Hi, we are developing an app for a company and their data has to be private. There will be different stakeholders with different roles accesing the application and there will be lots of attachments. We are using paperclip to upload attachments, which are stored in the filesystem within the public directory. Right now, the image_tags are only rendered if you are logged in and your role allows

My production server is using mongrel_rails on Ubuntu linux. With Firefox I can reach my production server with the URL: www.mydomain.com:3000/ but I can''t reach my production server with the URL www.mydomain.com/ Is there a way to configure mongrel so that I can reach my production server with the URL www.mydomain.com? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi I''m currently trying to use X-Sendfile to take some load off my rails app, unfortunately in my development environment mongrel is happily passing through the x-sendfile header, presumably for the (non- existant) proxy to handle the header. Is there some way to make mongrel process the x-sendfile header itself? Thanks jebw

Hi, I am new to clustering and loadbalancing in apache, What is best way of doing it? How do I do the clustering and what tools do I need to use? Do I have those tools, I use CentOS , Do i have any tools in CenOs which comes default in it? And how do I do apache load balancing? should I rely on apache forums or mailing list or is there any way or tool I can use in CentOS? Can any throw some vague

Hello, I''m running mongrel behind apache via proxypass. Every now and then, a spammer tries to proxy traffic through apache, and for some reason, apache forwards the request to mongrel, even though it''s not a site being hosted by me. At times this seems to cause mongrel to become unresponsive, and all requests to the site then fail with a proxy error until mongrel is

This week we have started one new project with Ruby on Rails as primary framework. My first task was to prepare runtime environment for it on one of our development servers. When I have tried to research how people doing it, I noted that there is no information about how to deploy rails application with nginx as frontend and what is performance of such solution. Before blindly make any

I''m using merb as an application server backend for a client application, the goal is to be able to handle thousands of parallell sessions (not parallell requests). It will use sendfile to send files. The controller uses an singleton that saves sessions in a hash that is memory resident cross requests, but isn''t persistent otherwise. I''m using ActiveRecord since there

I''m using mongrel as my http server. I was using yslow to evaluate the performance of my web site and noticed I was downloading the .css file on every request??? I use one .css file for the whole site and I though I would be cached? Yslow indicates that there is no expires date/time set for the css file. How can I tell mongrel to send an expires header with my static content? thanks,

I''m trying to do some initial benchmarking of our setup, mainly just to establish baselines. I''m essentially using the process Zed outlines in a previous message: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2006-May/000200.html What I''m running into is that Mongrel appears only half as fast as Apache when serving a small static HTML file. If I then add in Apache with
