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

Hi ! My mongrel just starting spitting out these nice lines: The error occured while evaluating nil.accept. TELL ZED HE''S A MORON. !!!!!! UNHANDLED EXCEPTION! You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! Not sure what happened or why, but just FYI: Zed, you are a moron :-) Happy holidays! Gitte Wange

Hi everybody, I just suscribe to the list because I have a problem using mongrel and mongrel_cluster... I setup a server (debian unstable wich provide apache 2.2.3 as a pakage) but I have an error when I try to access my application : ERROR 403 : Forbidden, You don''t have permission to access / on this server. When I check apache''s logs I found that : [warn] proxy: No

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

Hi folks, I took a break from Mongrel today and instead whipped up an Atom feed generator for my site. People who love or utterly hate my essays will lover or utterly hate to subscribe to it. http://www.zedshaw.com/feed.atom Let me know if it isn''t working well in your favorite feed reader. -- Zed A.

Hi list, I have tried to reach Bradley (author of mongrel_cluster) by mail, but have not gotten a response. So I''ll try trough this channel: I have ''developed''[1] a small extension to mongrel_cluster that allows selective restart of any one listener in a configuration that contains more than one listener by using a command like mongrel_rails

Time for some all time pimpage folks. Me and Matt Pelletier wrote a small PDF book on Mongrel entitled: "Mongrel: Serving, Deploying, and Extending Your Ruby Applications" since we really wanted you to know what it was about. It''s published by Addison Wesley Professional, has just over 100 pages of goodness, and is available for $14.99 at: http://safari.oreilly.com/0321483502

Hi list: I started to make a quick GemPlugin command [ssl::start] that sets up an stunnel before calling the normal [start] command. so $ mongrel_rails ssl:start will do everything that start normally does and configure/setup an stunnel. The question... Obviously this plugin will require stunnel to be installed. What do you think is the best move: 1) nothing, just require that people

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

We have a site that is running Mongrel and is down. Below is the Mongrel log file information. The server is a Linux server with 2gb of RAM. EV1 (hosting site) says that since this is a Linux server that the RAM is cached and that there is plenty of free memory available. Can anyone make sense of this error and have some suggestion of options that I may take to correct this issue and get

This small patch extends configure_socket_options to support FreeBSD''s accf_http(9), which defers accept() until there''s a full HTTP request to read. Seems to work fine on 6.1-STABLE. DragonflyBSD should work too provided the /freebsd/ line is modified to match it. accf_http(9): http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=accf_http&sektion=9 -- Thomas

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''m wondering if it''s possible to setup mongrel to have multiple document roots? The use case I''m trying to solve is one where I have a library of shared CSS/JS/Images and would like multiple rails application to use them. I have written a proxy controller and added some routes to serve the static files and it works reasonably well, but is extremely slow, because

Hi, Are there any recommendations as to what is currently the most stable setup is for mongrel & apache? I read somewhere (probably here) that you should avoid using PStore for sessions. Are there any more of such recommendations? Also, what is currently the safest version of mongrel to use in production? Jeroen

Hello All, I''m putting out a quick half-release because there''s some work on the MIME types I''ve included that needs to be done by all of you. Read at the end to understand your role in what you started. This release features two major capitulations on Mongrel''s stance of not being a full web server. The first is Mongrel now sports a YAML file with 739 MIME

Alright folks, I put in a fix for camping and added the patch by Thomas Hurst for the accf_http deferred accept settings for FreeBSD. As usual, please test this release out and let me know if it has any additional problems. I''ll be working on win32 builds today and tomorrow with Luis. Install with: sudo gem install fastthread --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases sudo gem

Hello Mongrels around the world! Been thinking a way to unify the issue I described in the subject. For those who aren''t aware, mongrel (actually, mongrel_rails) only generate the log file if daemonize was used (-d) That means no log file under windows, due his lack of fork/daemonization capabilities. Now, users that need to run mongrel on windows cannot report and fill the empty

Howdy, I''m trying to debug a situation where a Rails app running on Mongrel +Apache stops listening to requests. Restarting Mongrel and Apache brings it back to life. First off, here''s some info on versions, etc...: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 8) ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-04 patchlevel 2) [x86_64-linux] Mongrel 1.0.1 Rails 1.2.1 fastthread (0.6.2)

I''m having a strange problem accessing a 1.7GB Ferret index from within Mongrel (1.0.1) on Linux. On OSX a Ferret search through Rails takes a fraction of a second. From the command line, bypassing Mongrel, the search takes about the same amount of time. On Fedora Core 4 a Ferret search from the command line takes a fraction of a second, but the same search through Mongrel never
