similar to: Mongrel + Lighttpd

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

I am wanting to one run instance of lighttpd, many many instances of mongrel. I also need ssl but only for one of my sites. I understand that Mongrel does not play with SSL so I am forced to use Lighttpd. I think that lighttpd only handles ssl or non-ssl on any given instance. Is there a way for me to accomplish my goal of one lighttpd with multiple mongrels and the occasional ssl connection? --

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, I''m running a rails (mongrel) based web service behind an apache proxy, on windows 2003. Sometimes I see a POST in the apache log that returned a 404 but nothing about it in the rails log. It doesn''t happen every time, 9 out of 10 times it works just fine. The post (is actually a put) comes from a .NET application uploading a small xml-file. The log message in apache

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

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 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

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 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/.

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

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 everybody, I just suscribe to the list because I have a problem using mongrel and mongrel_cluster... I setup a server (debian unstable wich provide apache 2.2.3 as a pakage) but I have an error when I try to access my application : ERROR 403 : Forbidden, You don''t have permission to access / on this server. When I check apache''s logs I found that : [warn] proxy: No

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

Hi all, Tried out the mongrel upload progress plugin with Drb and it works great on my OSX development box, but when putting it into production (Ubuntu Dapper), uploads complete but the app isn''t returning any values for upload progress, and uploads are not showing up in the queue when running upload_client.rb. Before anyone asks, yes, I''m running both the mongrel instances and

I''m looking for the most reliable setup for Mongrel. Reliable meaning avoiding things like sending too many requests to a single mongrel process, or sending requests to a mongrel process that has hung for some reason. The handler will most likely be rails, but it might be a custom handler. SSL is also a requirement, which limits the options a bit but it can''t be done away

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

Which web server does mongrel fair best with? -Ron

* Apologies for starting a new thread; I just subscribed. Has anyone been able to make this exploit happen if requests are being proxied to Mongrel through Apache? I''ve been trying variations on the double-encoding thing and can''t trigger the exploit through Apache. Hitting Mongrel directly does expose the problem. I''ll still upgrade my servers, of course, but I

Hi all, We use mongrel behind apache (using mod_proxy_balancer) to run an internal app for our business. Lately we''ve been seeing frequent errors from some of our mongrel processes.
