similar to: no log/mongrel.log file on win32, looking for suggestions...

Hi there what''s the status of the 0.13.4 release on Windows? I want to wrap up a project in the next 2 weeks and I''d wait for the new release if it''s coming in that timeframe. Otherwise I''d stay with the current windows version. thanks Jens-Christian Fischer

Hey Zed- I had a user with an app that was leaking memory with mongrel but not lighty/fcgi. I have been doing anything I can to track it down. I already did the Mutex patch to use unshitf and pop instead of shift and push and it didn''t really help much. The mem leak only really shows up when you use the wsess option to httperf. The other day I saw a ruby C extension that

Hey guys, I''m running the mongrel server that comes with rails-1.2rc1 for development on a winxp box, anticipating taking it into production on a win2k3 box in the next few weeks. I''ve had a couple of crashes occur during development that give me pause, however. I made a ticket for the last one here: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/6841 I know, or at least believe, that

Hi All I am using version 0.3.13.3 and since there is no logging support for win32 application. I was wondering if it was possible to get any kind of logging at all. I have tried to these two options 1. Stream redirection using "mongrel_rails start -c C:/myspace/snapshot -p 4111 -t 70 -e production -P log/mongrel-1.pid > C:\temp\mongrel-1.log" The console print the output stream

What''s a rule of thumb for guesstimating how many Mongrels to use in a cluster for an app? I have an app that gets about 5000 unique visitors per day. I figured I''d give it plenty of Mongrels -- twenty to be specific. After running out of memory and hitting the swap periodically, I scaled it back to five and it still seems to serve up visitors fine. So, is there some super-secret

I just ran into an issue with a new mongrel install on Win32. When trying to run mongrel from RadRails 0.7.2 on win32, I got an error while loading that it couldn''t locate mongrel_service. C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require'': no such file to load -- C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel_service-0.3.1/lib/mongrel_service/init.rb

Dear Mongrels, The same questions keep coming up over and over on the list, which is ok, but not really optimal. If we added a wiki to the Mongrel site to handle FAQs, what wiki should it be? Required features would be: * Spam protection * Doesn''t look shitty I would probably spring for Trac (and also migrate the bugtracker) if noone else has opinions, but I''m sure some of

Hi, why are the gemplugins commented out in mongrel_service? What was the problem with them? I''m curiuos because I''ve used them without problems since the revision 338 (-win32 suffix patch, 31/08). However, my site is a small internal one, so it doesn''t mean any heavy testing. Jano

I''m having no luck trying to daemonize mongrel running a camping server. When mongrel daemonizes, I get: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.0.1/lib/mongrel.rb:723:in `accept'': closed stream (IOError) from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.0.1/lib/mongrel/configurator.rb:293:in `join'' ... (This was after I disabled the unhandled exception catchall in the

Hey, I did some pre-compiled gems for both Mongrel and win32 service, wrote some quick instructions, and threw everything onto a (Mongrel hosted) temp site. Please go hit: http://zedshaw.homelinux.org:3000/files/win32_howto.html And give the instructions a shot. Luis should have the stuff moved around and then we''ll have a nice clean install and set of instructions for all this. Any

Hello Minions! It''s *finally* here. Mongrel 1.0 RC1 for everyone to test, even the win32 folks. I managed to get everything to build on windows, including fastthread, and even cleaned up the "releases source":http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/ so that it should install cleaner. Win32 will have to try and report problems, as it seems rubygems is real finicky on win32.

I just realized -- if fastthread can be included while Mutex-using code is already running, then the definition and replacement of the classes needs to happen atomically. Otherwise, it creates a race condition where a thread can e.g. end up seeing an incompletely defined Mutex class or none at all. fastthread 0.6.1 addresses this by defining the classes and then atomically swapping the constant

I''ve upgraded from version 0.3.13.3 to 1.0.1 (along with dependencies). I can see service::install and service::remove commands, but not service::start and service::stop. Moreover, after installing the service with service::install, the service shows up on the list in Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services, but fails to start from there. 1. Unless the documentation on the website

Calling All Mongrel Minions! I wanna have some fun and would like this as a Christmas present. The site http://www.workingwithrails.com/ has this lame popularity system that''s kind of irking some of the main Ruby contributors. I think it''s kind of funny, but would like to demonstrate what an army of motivated people can do to these kinds of popularity contests. So, as a

I''m going to make a change to how Mongrel is versioned to help out folks packaging it and tracking it as a pre-release. Previously I just did whatever was simplest, but now I''m going to do a slightly different approach. This is open for comment and suggestions. Here''s the new rules: 1) There are only official and pre-releases. This doesn''t change. 2) 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 using a cluster of mongrels behind an apache 1.3 proxy pass. I''ve been passing the request to pen, which in turn balances the cluster of mongrels. Now, I''d like to be able to use a different server to send the static files created by the rails application, so I tried to replace pen with nginx. Everything seems to work fine except the environment variable REMOTE_ADDR.

Alright folks, after nearly a month of pounding and beating up the Mongrel 1.0 RC1 release we''re putting out the official 1.0.1 release. Read all about it at the (much funnier) news posting: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/news.html For those people in a hurry, the gems should hit the mirrors and you can install using your usual commands. Refer the the above page for more help.

Hi all, Tried out the mongrel upload progress plugin with Drb and it works great on my OSX development box, but when putting it into production (Ubuntu Dapper), uploads complete but the app isn''t returning any values for upload progress, and uploads are not showing up in the queue when running upload_client.rb. Before anyone asks, yes, I''m running both the mongrel instances and

Hey Luis, Just implemented the first cut at a graceful stop setup. It seems to mostly work except for a few hicups here and there which I''ll test out. I''ve tested this under OSX and will test on the other platforms soon. To use it take a look at the examples/simpletest.rb and see how I setup an "INT" handler to call HttpServer.stop. Hopefully this will help with
