Hi, was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem and knows why or a solution. basically my mongrels seems to work fine. i am running three clusters all which are monitored by monit. monit has the ability to restart a mongrel if it doesn''t pass a port connection test. so the problem is that after some time. aprox. 6hrs. to 20hrs. after clusters are started, the mongrels get

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

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

Hi guys, Does anyone know if mongrel has a built-in timeout for requests that take too long? If so, how do you increase it? I''ve found that some server requests are timing out. Complicated requests are already being farmed out to asynchronous processes. But some of the more basic requests are timing out when we have our peak server load in the mornings (the bottleneck is the

Hi guys, I''ve been running mongrel for a while now with Ruby 1.8.4, and last week upgraded to 1.8.6. Since upgrading, each morning when I wake up there''s a big problem: 1. Accessing the site returns a "500 Internal Server Error" 2. All the mongrel_rails processes are still running, but none of them are active (when I run top) 3. Lighttpd and pound are still

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

So here''s a random question: if a (Ruby) multi-threaded rails server could exist (bug free), would it be faster than using a mongrel cluster? (I.e. 10 mongrel processes versus 10 Ruby threads). I''m not sure if it would. RAM it might save, though. Any thoughts? -Roger -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello, I am running mongrel 1.1 in production mode behind a lighttpd with mod_proxy. At first everything works fine, however, after a few days, the mongrel servers stop answering at all, even if I try to connect to them directly. I have checked logs but there is no sign of anything at all, and even when there was not a single request for a few days, it did freeze, and that on repeated occasions.

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

Anybody seen this message before? I see it over and over in one of my mongrel processes log files. I''ve never seen it before today. /usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails:16Mon May 14 20:44:30 +0000 2007: Error calling Dispatcher.dispatch #<Mongrel::TimeoutError: Mongrel timed out this thread: shutdown>Thread #<Thread:0x2ae6288dbc40 sleep> is too old, killing.

Hi, I''m doing development with Mongrel 1.0.1 on Ruby 1.8.4 / OS X 10.4.10, and I''ve found that often when I shut down my server with ^C, it hangs for a while, gobbling up all CPU. Sometimes it stops after a few seconds, sometimes it''s run for several minutes at least. This happens across all the apps I develop on, but it seems to hang longer after

Hi I posted this to the Ruby on Rails Talk group but I thought I''d post it here too as it''s probably a more appropriate group. Hope this is ok. I''m running a 2-instance Mongrel cluster behind Apache 2.2.4 with Rails 1.2.3. If no requests are received by the application for several hours (this usually happens overnight) then Mongrel stops responding and no requests are

Hi I'd like to you know if this is possible to do this with swfdec, or even to know if one day, it will be possible I have a swf player that grabs some piece of sprites, music and move all this in some kind of a cartoon Is it possible with swfdec to record this cartoon into an avi file ?

Hello, We're using samba 3.0.24 on a Linux box, to access and backup some XP boxes. smbclient access is okay, but there is something quite weird with the tar subfunction ----- $ smbclient //xpbox/Documents -U someuser -d 2 -Tc /tmp/tarfile . added interface ip=192.168.1.xxx bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE ----- Smbclient does NOT ask us

Hi, I'm trying to copy my CentOS install to a new drive. - old drive is /dev/hda and had hda1 : /boot hda2 : swap hda3 lvm hda5 : lvm hda4 : /usr/local - new drive is /dev/hdb hdb1 : /boot hdb2 : swap hdb3 : / I decided to get rid of lvm which is useless to me. I've created and formated the new partitions and copied anything from the old drive to the new one

Hey folks, I''m working on the Mongrel book with Zed, and wanted to get some feedback from the core users (this list) about how they use Mongrel. That sounds a bit vague, but I''m interested in hearing things about frustrating problems / workaround, preferred configurations, if you have a particular way you set up / store your config files when developing / deploying an

Hello all... I know its been a while since the last one, but a new prerelease is available with a gratuitous increase in version numbers! gem install mongrel_cluster --source http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/ This one has some new features in it that need to be tested on all unix platforms. Please run --clean and cluster::status on every *nix you can find. I run linux so the rest are up

Dear all, I am researching solutions for "how do you squeeze as many Rails apps as you can on a cluster" problem. Environment constraints are as follows: * 4 commodity web servers (2 CPUs, 8 Gb of RAM each) * shared file storage and database (big, fast, not a bottleneck) * multiple Rails apps running on it * normally, the load is insignificant, but from time to time any of these apps

A couple of questions please: What is the benefit of having more than one Mongrel/Rails instance on the same machine, could one instance not serve as many requests as say three instances? Is Mongrel Cluster a Apache add-in (like mod_*) or a separately running load balancer which runs on a separate port, I could not work it out from the sample Apache config... |# Redirect all non-static
