similar to: Mongrel on FreeBSD

Hi, I''ve recently deployed a rails app and our platform is Apache 2.2 + mongrel cluster. It seems to be working fine... although no real tests yet. I just recently found out that it is *quite* possible that the live server will not be getting an update to apache 2.2, and the current version is 1.3. So... I''ve installed Apache 1.3 + FastCGI on the dev server and it''s

I am considering creating a web interface for system administration, but it would need a plug-in architecture, adding new UIs as new services are added. I''m thinking about doing this with multiple Rails applications, and I''m curious as to whether mongrel can most multiple apps in a single instance, as opposed to running one for each. Is this possible? Thanks, Mike -- Michael P.

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

Hey, I''m using mongrel supervised via runit. I''d like to capture mongrel logs with svlogd, which just requires logging to stdout/stderr. But, the Rails app is logging in its own log directory. Is there a way to make both mongrel and Rails log to stdout/stderr? Thanks, Mike -- Michael P. Soulier <msoulier at digitaltorque.ca> "Any intelligent fool can make things

Hi mongrel-herders, I''m just wondering what fellow railsers use to rotate their logs in an orderly fashion? I''d like to do something lightweight, i.e. (1) rename the logfile (2, optional) create a new empty logfile and (3) send a signal to each mongrel in the cluster and have them understand it''s time to reopen their log file handles. This is what I do with apache and

Hi Google has not helped me here. I''m looking for a way to use the have_tag assert_select wrapper outside RSpec on Rails (but in a Rails project) so I can use it to check text strings. Has anyone managed this? Thanks Ashley -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hey list, I''m refactoring some much-used functionality into a common_steps step group. Methods like this are in there: steps_for :common do Given "a number of existing $types?" do |type| @initial_item_count = type.singularize.classify.constantize.count end When "the user adds an invalid $type" do |type| post

Hi I can''t get heckle working. In fact, I''ve built an example so simple that it either shows a bug, or I am being really, REALLY stupid. Heckle does not appear to support RSpec directly, so I''m trying to use spec --heckle (RSpec trunk as of 10 mins ago, Heckle 1.4.1). I''ve constructed this pair of sample files: 18> ~/Desktop/heckle_test % cat

<http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=10368> Came across this as a stub page browsing Amazon UK. This is good news! I''m surprised it hasn''t been discussed on the list before. Was Chad keeping it a secret? I hope it will have plenty of BDD theory. I''m still waiting for that magic book I can give to someone and say "here - read this, it

I''ve noticed that I phrase a lot of shared behaviours in plural, eg describe "All payment_details views" How about a "they" alias to "it" so you can write describe "All payment_details views", :shared => true do they "should have a card number field" do # ... end end WDYT? Ashley

Hi Easy one - I just wondered why all spec files for rspec_on_rails end "_spec.rb" instead of just ".rb"? They are all inside the spec folder so surely the fact they are specs is implicit? Ashley

I recently got into using RoR, and the only issue that concerned me was the apparently complexity of deployment. Setting up fastcgi can be a bit of a pain, and I was hoping that the Rails community would come up with something simpler. Mongrel was recommended to me from someone on my local Ruby user group. It was trivial to install as a Gem on my Linux desktop and the FreeBSD server that I am

Hi Just trying to spec a Rails model that defaults a valid_until date to this time tomorrow. I''ve done something similar involving Dates, and you can stub the :today method to return something fixed. But when I tried this with Time, I found that RSpec calls Time.now four times per spec. So there''s no way to spec code like 1.days.from_now . The best I can come up

Hi The code I''m working on now is a server daemon that talks to Twitter, an RSS feed, and some web pages. I''ve got mock implementations of Twitter and the web stuff, which I start and stop with daemon_controller[1]. I do all the setup in a Before block, but this makes the feature runs agonisingly slow due to the time waiting for everything to restart. I''m

I''m on OS X Tiger, and just upgraded my gems. I also ran ''rake rails:update''. After that, I ran "rake freeze_gems", I recieve the following: ===================== Freezing to the gems for Rails 1.1.0 rm -rf vendor/rails mkdir -p vendor/rails cd vendor/rails Unpacked gem: ''activesupport-1.3.0'' mv activesupport-1.3.0 activesupport Unpacked

Hi In light of the fact that RSpec mocks are going into maintenance mode in the near future, I was wondering what everyone was switching to. I liked the look of FlexMock most, so gave that a shot. However, there''s a few things that don''t work well with RSpec due to the traditional differences in the way Test::Unit cases are written vs RSpec specs. (One spec per

Bleeding-edge story-writers, How are you structuring your specs? I am working on a new project and tried this: ./lib ./blah ./spec ./blah ./stories But it breaks autotest, so I moved stories parallel to lib and spec. Also what about suffixes? I have adopted "xyz_story_spec.rb", and "xyz.story" for the time being, with the line runner =

I was hoping 1.1 would provide a way to map SQL "decimal" column types to BigDecimal values, since BigDecimal is part of the Ruby standard api as of 1.8. But I don''t see any support for that in the migration documentation, and when I try to let Active Record do the mapping for me, it seems to coerce the column into a Float (as the AwdwR book says). Is it really there in

Is there any way to do foo.should (be_nil || be_empty) in rspec. Thanks in advance -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rspec-users/attachments/20081104/ee43c9c9/attachment.html>

Forgot post this when I did it... For anyone else that used the "aspect" method of the rspec-ext gem, here''s a New World version of the code to drop into spec_helper.rb.
