Mongrel 0.3.13.3 Windows XP Rails 1.1.6 I have a rails app that serves up mp3 files via the send_file command. We create a playlist (M3U) with URLs to the mp3s.

We are seeing mongrel processes dying in our mongrel cluster. What is the best way to troubleshoot this?

I''m using monit to restart mongrel processes if they go away. With mongrel 0.3 I could issue a start command and the process would start up even if the .pid file existed (though a warning would appear). Now, with mongrel 1.0.1 the warning says I must clear the .pid file and the process is not started. Is there anyway to force it to start without having to clear the .pid? Regards

I have Mongrel Cluster setup with Apache a mod_proxy_balancer. I''ve seen (from time to time) mongrel instances become non-responsive.

I have a directory on Unix exposed as a Samba share. All the filenames are greater than 8.3 format. When I go to this directory from a DOS prompt and do 'del *.*', I get a bunch of errors 'Unable to find file ...'.. But, if the directory contained 500 files, after the 'del *.*' it contains 400 files. I repeat the del *.*, get a few more errors Unable to find file ...

Hello, I''m working on a download service which grants users a one-time-download access to files. The idea is to write an entry to a database table after a successful download that "locks" the download link for the user.

Hi, I''ve been using send_file in my Rails application with WEBrick happily to send files of various sizes and kinds. The same code fails to send anything but a 500 error when run under Apache, and a log file message "warning: syswrite for buffered IO".

All, I have an existing form that calls an action which in turn creates a PDF and sends it to the browser using send_file.

While working with the newly fixed output compression plugin, one of the devs in my team discovered that it breaks with send_file(). So if you are using send_file() in your application you must get the fixed file I''ve put at: http://devblog.famundo.com/output_compression.rb. The change is actually in checking for the Content-Disposition header added by send_file(). See the full writeup
