I know most people use pound, but has anyone tried using ultramonkey as a load balancing solution between a cluster of mongrels and lighttpd?

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

Lets say you have a site that is serving, oh, around 100k unique visitors a day (plain ole'' browser requests) - plus probably ~ 40k uniques to feeds. Assume this site is 90% read like most of the web, so the traffic looks like your typical news or portal site. There are two web boxes behind a hardware load balancer, each doing apache 2.2.3 -> mongrel_proxy_balancer -> mongrel

Hello all, I''m wondering if you deploy nginx: 1) on the same machine that runs unicorn (exclusively proxying to that) 2) on a different machine that doesn''t run unicorn 3) both, nginx could forward to either to localhost or another host on the same LAN And of course, the reason(s) you chose what you chose. I''m inclined to believe many folks are on 1) simply

Hello all, The question is not necessarily CentOS-specific - but there are lots of bright people on here, and - quite possibly - the final implementation will be on CentOS hence I figured I'd ask it here. Here is the situation. I need to configure a Linux-based network load balancer (NLB) solution. The idea is this. Let us say I have a public facing load balancer machine with an public IP

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

Hello, I'm looking for a functional FreeBSD replacement of the Linux LVS software? There is an LVS port for FreeBSD but it looks deat since 2005. Is there anything comparable or better? All best, mjb

Hi, I''ve started a new project that uses Mongrel. It basically lets you defer requests to it until other Mongrels in your (Rails) pool becomes free. Rubyforge project page: http://rubyforge.org/projects/qrp/ gems, tarballs and git repo in case they haven''t hit the mirrors yet: http://bogomips.org/ruby/ I should also add that nginx 0.6.7 or later is required for the

I am using mongrel_cluster with mod_proxy_balancer and would like to enable compression (assuming it improves throughtput) and limit file size upload. I configured mod_deflate and LimitRequestSize in Apache, but in my trials looks like the proxied calls bypass those directives (the conf goes below). Is there a way to get this? -- fxn # Adapt this .example locally, as usual. # # To be

Hello Mongrels, Building on the last messages about Fastthread, can we get a detailed survey of the different ways people are deploying their applications? It will help with near-future Mongrel development. Please include the following things: * Framework, if any (Camping, Merb, Rails, Nitro, Ramaze, IOWA, Rack...) * Mongrel version * Mongrel handlers used (rails, dirhandler, camping,

Hi, This morning, while checking for a correct deployment, we found out that the Unicorns we are using were sending 500 Internal errors very frequently to the HAProxy that sits in front of them. After some investigation, It turned out that HAProxy checks the backend by opening and closing a connection to the unicorn. Unfortunately the Unicorns we use ( v 0.990.0 ) will try to reply to this probe

> btw, what is the reasong for NGINX proxy anyway? Since dovecot proxy can do this for you too. I want to do authentication using the IP that the IMAP client used to connect to the IMAP server. That is, I have 50 IPs, one for each state my users live in, so the users can only connect to the IMAP server using the domain name where their account is hosted (e.g., va.example.com

Jeff try adding to your mongrel_cluster.yml :docroot: /var/radiant/domainA.com/public -- Together we can solve any issue.

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

I have an Apache 2.2.3 (mod_proxy_balancer) frontend server that does not have mongrel installed. It does proxy requests to several other mongrel-only servers (each running 2 mongrel processes). Each mongrel node has the same rails code-base and it''s working perfectly. However, my question is when I add an upload file form... where is it going to physically put that file? I mean since

We have been searching for a Rails deployment architecture which works for us for some time. We''ve recently moved from Apache 1.3 + FastCGI to Apache 2.2 + mod_proxy_balancer + mongrel_cluster, and it''s a significant improvement. But it still exhibits serious performance problems. We have the beginnings of a fix that we would like to share. To illustrate the problem, imagine a

Hi, I''ve got 40 mongrels running across 4 machines with a hardware load balancer as a proxy. The mongrels serve everything, even files. How screwed am I if I have a 2MB file on my site? Say 40 people are downloading that file. Are the mongrels completely locked up? Joe

We''re using unicornctl restart with the default before/after hook behavior, which is to reap old Unicorn workers via SIGQUIT after the new one has finished booting. Unfortunately, while the new workers are forking and begin processing requests, we''re still seeing significant spikes in our haproxy request queue. It seems as if after we restart, the unwarmed workers get swamped by

Hello, I want to install a bunch mongrel servers with an apache in fronthead, all that on OpenBSD. But OpenBSD is released with a homemade Apache 1.3.29 patched by the OpenBSD team. I really want to keep this version of apache and I don''t want to change it to Apache 2.x (because of the security and the license but it''s not the point here). But for having mongrel, it has to be

We have a load balancer sending requests to one of X boxes and one of N mongrel processes on that box. Since each mongrel processes is multi-threaded but it has a mutex around the section that calls rails, we end up with several requests queued up waiting when they could have gone to another box with a free process. For example, boxA, and boxB. boxA has mongrels 1 through 10 boxB has
