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

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

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 had a right fun few days at work trying to figure out why our Rails app (which isn''t under very heavy load) kept eating memory and bringing our server to our knees. Eventually I traced it to send_file (which was in a way a relief as it wasn''t down to my coding ;) -- every time a user started downloading, the memory consumed by the app would jump, and

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 working on a download service which grants users a one-time-download access to files. The idea is to write an entry to a database table after a successful download that "locks" the download link for the user. After doing some quick tests with send_file I noticed that send_file does not block until the user has downloaded the full file, but proceeds with the

I''m working on an app that includes the feature to allow user to download a csv file of their data. I''ve got it working on my local machine, but when I deploy it, the link I''m making doesn''t work for doing the download. The file IS being created in the location I''m intending, but the file download only works on my local machine and not on the server.

Can anyone tell me how to get x_send_file working with mongrel 1.1.1 and apache 2.2? I''ve installed the mod_xsendfile apache module from http://tn123.ath.cx/mod_xsendfile/ and it works fine serving content from a PHP script, but I can''t get it to work with my single Mongrel instance and ProxyPass. I''m using the following Apache configuration: <VirtualHost *:80>

Hello all. I''ve recently installed the 0.2.2 pre-release of mongrel_cluster to try out the new --clean option. However, after installing, when I give a simple "mongrel_rails" command, the cluster::status command is not listed. The error I receive when I do try and run the full "mongrel_rails cluster::status" is... ERROR RUNNING

Hey folks. Sorry for the SUPER long email but if you''ve been experiencing the same problems with restarting your mongrel cluster with Capistrano, then I have two solutions that have worked for me and I''m pretty sure will for you as well. THE PROBLEM I was having trouble restarting my clusters using Capistrano. I''ve seen this come up before on the mailing list and

I have an application which uses send_file to send a ZIP file to the client. This works nicely when it''s run on our development OS-X boxes, using mongrel from script/server, but on our production server, using mongrel behind Apache 2.2. with mod_proxy_balancer, the client gets 1 byte delivered :-( If I use wget -S to the URL in order to see the full headers I see this on

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

I have a fix for the sendfile.c code for HP-UX - length not properly specified prior to call. I've also added code to support the AIX send_file() function and configure.in code to check for AIX specific send_file API and sets AIX_SENDFILE_API if successful. Could you consider this patch for 3.0.11? I also sent a web/cgi.c patch for "struct var" last week with respect to compile

Hello, I''ve been using NFS for sharing files across a cluster of servers but I''ve had a lot of problems with that. I''m planning to move to MogileFS which seems to be more stable and more adapted to this usage (lots of user uploaded files). I wonder if someone has already worked on an integration of MogileFS into Mongrel (and Rails app) for serving the files ? If not, I

Greetings! Is there a way to get RoR to redirect_to another action after doing a sendfile? My little app lets the user enter a bunch of data and then creates an XML file from it. I''m using sendfile to let the user download the XML file. Once they download the file I want to take them to a new view that presents a logout button that will trigger a cleanup. But it looks like RoR

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but when I run mongrel evented using swiftiply and then send it the USR2 signal to restart it, it dies. Without eventing, USR2 restarts mongrel as expected. Anyone else seen this? Here''s a dump: $ EVENT=1 mongrel_rails start -d -P /tmp/m.pid -p 4321 Using Evented Mongrel ** Ruby version is up-to-date; cgi_multipart_eof_fix was not loaded $ kill

There is a big difference if you are not running a pure rails site. I am doing auth apache-side because I serve static content, perl scripts via cgi and feed the mongrel pack from Apache. The REMOTE_USER variable value can be passed to rails using a technique described deep down in one of the informative pieces on the Mongrel website.

I heard about a new mongrel plugin or version that''s single threaded and uses non-blocking IO with events. It''s called something like "swifty fly". Anyone have a link for it? Thanks.

Looking at the code for ActionController#send_file I see that it is using ruby to send the file contents. Linux supports a sendfile() OS call. The implementation of Linux sendfile() is extremely fast and very CPU efficient, far faster than what can be done in user space. Does Windows support a sendfile() equivalent call? I haven''t been working with ruby long enough to know how it handles

I need to deal with a large file (about more than 2G [byte]) with eventmachine. I wrote a simple program with using "stream_file_data" as send a large file from client to server. But It didn''t work. Applying below a quick fix patch, I think it works well. Could you go over this patch? Regards, -- Kuroishi Mitsuo diff -rup
