similar to: backgroundrb not cleaning up tmp files?

so i have an after_create method on my track model that kicks off a background process that converts an mp3 to a swf. this is working fine locally on my machine, but upon moving it to my production server, i am getting the following error. I''ve only been using backgroundRB for like 48 hours, so i''m not really sure what this means or where to go. any ideas?

I am running ferret (0.11.4) and acts_as_ferret (stable from svn) in a rails 1.2.3 app in production using the DRb server. I recently upgraded my configuration and the method with which I start and stop the server no longer works: Here is the command I would like to use (and have used in the past) to start the aaf server: $ /Library/WebServer/rails/ccdb/current/script/runner -e production

I''m at a loss to explain a very strange error I''m getting. This seems to happen on our production system where we have a backgroundrb server sharing a host with a Rails app running on Mongrel. The first one or two, occasionally three, calls to a worker (direct MiddleMan calls from Rails, not scheduled) succeed, but afterwards, the server fails to initialize new workers.

I am having a strange problem starting the acts_as_ferret Drb server on a particular Linux machine (Debian Etch). The same setup works fine on my Mac (OSX). Without the Rails application running (yes, I''ve checked several times) I get the following error if I try to start the ferret server and one of my models contains :remote => true for acts_as_ferret: >> script/ferret_start

Hello all, I''m having some trouble getting backgroundrb set up so that all the processing happens on a single machine. I have 3 load balanced machines. Right now, all three run our web application and create MiddleMan workers to generate a large PDF report. However, because of the processing power needed to generate the PDFs, I want to change our setup so that two servers run

Hello, maybe someone can help with backgroundrb. I''ve written an application, which makes use of backgroundrb. Everything works fine on my development machine, but it crashes on my production server. Something seems to be wrong with backgroundrb, but I don''t know the cause. All I get is the error message attached below, which is extracted from the production.log. I

Hi, I have my Model as follows: class Mutation < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret ({:fields => {:description=>{}, :product_id=>{:index => :untokenized}, :product_description=>{}, :product_label_description=>{}, :product_label_free=>{}, :product_product_id_supplier=>{}, :product_description_supplier=>{}, :supplier_description=>{}, :pub_date_sort

Hi, I''m not much of a developer but I''ve been using backgroundrb for a while now and with the release of 0.2.1 it looks like I can finally upgrade from the old version (0.2.0 had some weird issues when jobs just wouldn''t run, seems to have cleared up now - Thanks!). Anyhow, while I''m doing this, I would like to tackle this problem. Most tasks I run in

The Problem: The application is using the AAF plugin. When I attempt to rebuild the index on the production server from the console, I get the following error: ------ DRb::DRbConnError: druby://ferret.mydomain.com:9010 - #<Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Connection timed out - connect(2)> from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:736:in `open'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:729:in

Hi All, I''m using Backgroundrb as a general purpose long-running-task back-end (upload processing, email sending, etc), and it''s been a great solution. However I''ve recently run into some some intermittent connection issues that have me baffled. I''m running on apache2/fcgid and the problem occurs in both devlopment and production mode. The problem seems to

Hi list, I''m having some issues getting backgroundrb to play nice with more than one mongrel. When I run my app on a single mongrel instance it works fine. I have two different problems show up in my backgrounrb_server.log. The top of the backtrace is shown here: 20070130-12:03:03 (92473) failed to find slave socket - (RuntimeError) 20070130-12:03:03 (92473)

I''m trying to use the Ferret DRB server to avoid concurrency issues when using multiple mongrels. I can successfully add and edit data on my index via the DRB server, however, when I search the index, I get the following error: DRb::DRbConnError (DRb::DRbServerNotFound): /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1647:in `current_server'' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1709:in

Hey, I have scheduled script that is not working very well. It will only run once or twice before I have to restart the server to get it running again. If I try to the worker manually after it has stopped exceuting the schedule I get this in the server log: 20070522-07:33:36 (5030) Connection reset by peer - (DRb::DRbConnError) 20070522-07:33:36 (5030) /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:566:in

Hi, I have an application that receives XML files, and then hands each one off to a backgroundrb worker to parse and store the info. Everything was working, until I needed to support a larger character set. So I added the following to the top of my XML files: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> Adding this worked fine when I tested it without using

Hi, I get the following error from my client program when I try to call delete after my worker is completed: goten at goten-server:~/projects/svn_working/m29svn_back/app$ ruby backup_app.rb {:done=>true, :txt=>["piping to tmp", "piping done", "getting youngest", "youngest got", "destfile

Hello, I am trying to make DRb calls to a external server from a backgrounDRb worker, but I''m getting always the next exception when I make the remote call. > ERROR: > drbunix:///tmp/backgroundrb.11175/experimenter_worker_3e899de945f0803a82cd257cfac316d0_0_0.0738904928422051 > - #<Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - >

Hello, I have been trying to set up the remote indexing for acts_as_ferret and followed the guide here: http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/DrbServer I added :remote => true to my models and then specified host and port for the production environment. After defining the host/port for production, I tried to run my development server and received the following error:

Hi All, Real neophyte here, to both backgroundrb and ruby/rails in general. (Hey, we''ve all got to start somewhere, right!) :) I''ve just been playing around with the example code at http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/ , and trying to get all the pieces to work (btw, I''m using version 0.2.1). I did a ''generate worker example'', which created an

I''m having a problem where the DRb server seems to be disappearing (crashing?) and I don''t know how to track down the cause or work around the problem. Unfortunately I haven''t found a way to reproduce the problem, but it seems to happen fairly often (maybe once a day). Other then that ferret seems to be working well. I can''t seem to find any trace of the

I was just trying to use acts_as_ferret with DRb and filter_proc, without much success. My guess is that this isn''t possible because there''s no way to send the proc to the DRb server, correct? Person.find_by_contents("jonathan", :filter_proc => proc {}) causes an exception when using DRb (DRb::DRbConnError: DRb::DRbServerNotFound). I can work around this by
