similar to: XSendFile in development environment

Hi, I''ve been doing some experiments with php and if can use something like <?php for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++) { echo "hello world"; flush(); sleep(10); } ?> to keep a http link open for an arbitrary amount of time and routinely display "hello world" in the browser window. Is is possible to write a mongrel handler to do something similar? Thanks

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

Hi, I''ve got an app which will only be dealing with a few requests a minute for most of the time, then will shoot up to a continuous 20 req/s for an hour at a time. We''ll potentially be running a lot of instances of this app on the same server. Is there any way to have additional instances of Mongrel be started when the existing instance(s) stopping being able to handle

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

I''m trying to sent a file to the iphone (which requires byte-range request support) using the rails send_file method. However, this fails, I think because of mongrel. I think so because if I send the iphone a file handled by nginx, it plays it fine. But then when I serve the file with rails the iphone can''t play it. Any ideas? Alex

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

I''ve got an app which users can edit the ERB templates for emails, the changes aren''t taking effect till the app restarts though because config.action_view.cache_template_loading = true I''ve seen various comments that suggest it has to be true when in Production for thread safety - is Rails actually running in a threaded manner yet? Surely this is a none issue at the

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

I am trying to user XSendFile in my application. I have installed the plugin and in the environment.rb included this line XSendFile::Plugin.replace_send_file! but it is unable to read the files. Earlier i had used send_file but it increases the mongrel size and slows down the application. Any suggestions about how to make it work? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi I''ve got a straightforward piece of code in my controller which will consistently produce a SystemStackError. @newmessage = @message.reply(params[:newmessage]) return unless request.post? if @newmessage.save flash[:notice] = "Message Sent" redirect_to :index end The error is occuring on the redirect_to line, if I comment that line out then everything behaves as it

Hello I am facing some problem in using the plugin Xsendfile(http:// john.guen.in/rdoc/x_send_file/).Here in README for setting up web server , the author has given a link to http://celebnamer.celebworld.ws/stuff/mod_xsendfile .But when I try to Install mod_xsend_file.c I am getting an error apxs:Error: Activation failed for custom /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file.. apxs:Error: At least one

Hi, on my site I have several screen casts (using flash video flv) in addition to the normal rails application which is the core service, my setup is apache proxy/balancing to 2 mongrels. I was thinking I should probably not be serving up streaming video from mongrel as it will occupy the mongrel processes for long periods of time right? So I was thinking of excluding a directory from

Following errors are taken from monrgrel running in development mode. It complained routes.rb, no such file or directory and then sometimes i get application.rb, no such file or directory.Doesn''t seem correct to me. Though not so often, but even production servers throw these errors sometimes, and i have no special routes setup or something.Its pretty much default one, except few changes

Hi everyone, I try to use the "X-Sendfile" header, but it doesn''t work as expected. In my controller: path = "/home/bruno/file.tar.gz" headers[''X-Sendfile''] = path headers[''Content-Type''] = "application/octet-stream" headers[''Content-Length''] = File.size(path) render :nothing => true When I request

Hi Folks, I''ve been getting reports of people with serious stability problems in Mongrel. These problems go away instantly when they remove ruby-sendfile. If your mongrel starts up saying that you have "sendfile installed" and that it is using it then **you are wrong**. Remove the gem and don''t use it. I''ll be investigating why it doesn''t really

Hi all, I am Running Apache as frontend server to mongrel and uploaded 1.1 Gb of file using my rails application .Now I am trying to download same 1.1 GB stream ,for that i loaded mod_xsendfile.so in apache httpd.conf file and using send_file function downloaded this 1.1 gb of stream successfully.but after downloading it ,again am trying to download same 1.1 gb of stream but now am getting failed

I wrote an x-sendfile thing for the railshandler to get mongrel to catch the response header and stream out files from an application I''m writing but I''m pretty sure that zed said he''d built in x-sendfile somewhere already. I couldn''t find it, could someone lead me to it? Does mongrel work with SSL? If not is anyone interested in having someone write in SSL

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
