similar to: Testing custom mongrel handlers?

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 Greg- Yes I am sorry, the new architecture uses fork and named pipes and a bunch of unix stuff to do its magick. Now you may be able to port it to qwork on windows, but I don''t think it is possible :( I''m really sorry about this but I need this thing to be as robust and solid as it can be and in the end windows isn''t compatible. Now you may be able to

Heya folks- I just wanted to give a little status update on the new version of BackgrounDRb. Skaar has stepped up big time and done a ton of work getting the new architecture going so big thanks to him. I will be doing some documentation and a few more tweaks and we should have a new release shortly. Cheers- -- Ezra Zygmuntowicz -- Lead Rails Evangelist -- ez at engineyard.com --

Hey there folks- I''m happy to announce the first useable release of my new pocket- framework Merb. Merb is a mongrel handler with built in controller and view templating with erb. It has a nice routing system similar to rails but much simpler. It uses some of the code from the camping handler and the rails handler and then some of its own secret sauce to form imho a nice fast

Heya Folks- This is mainly for Zed and Mentalguy. I have been playing with the new release of rubygems 0.9.0.8 and I have a major problem with the requirement that fastthread needs to be required before thread. Just requiring rubygems and then requiring fastthread right after that will throw the error: ez _blog $ ruby require ''rubygems'' require

I''m taking a stab at creating a parser to parse the server response using the mongrel parser as a base. Never having used a parser like Ragel before in my life, I''d like some input on the following for parsing an http server response. This is part of my modified version of http11_parser.rl. In particular what would be better than using ''any'' to match the

It''s that time again friends. skaar has been at it again and has greatly improved the stability of the new system. And Ara Howard has helped a ton by working with us on the slave library to iron out the wrinkles./ The results is a lot nicer backgroundrb for everyone. I have to say another huge thanks to skaar. He has singlehandedly wrote almost all of this new version and many

Hey there Gang- The scheduler in the new BackgrounDRb is not really useable yet. So please avoid it for a few days until we get the kinks worked out. Thanks- -- Ezra Zygmuntowicz -- Lead Rails Evangelist -- ez at engineyard.com -- Engine Yard, Serious Rails Hosting -- (866) 518-YARD (9273)

I''ve had a right fun few days at work trying to figure out why our Rails app (which isn''t under very heavy load) kept eating memory and bringing our server to our knees. Eventually I traced it to send_file (which was in a way a relief as it wasn''t down to my coding ;) -- every time a user started downloading, the memory consumed by the app would jump, and

Okay, I got off my duff this week and have been finishing Mongrel support for IOWA. I now have two handlers that I need to test. One is similar to the Rails handler, passing request handling to IOWA threads in the same process, and the other allows one or more Mongrel processes to pass requests to one or more separate IOWA processes, with session affinity. Is there any set of standard sorts of

Hello All- Is there anyone out there that wants to take over as maintainer of the backgroundrb project? I feel bad because I know lots of folks use it but I absolutely do not have time to work on it anymore :(. I''m looking for a new maintainer, I would give you all the access to the project you need and try to help you come up to speed on the codebase. If anyone is

Ezra, * test harness in new generated merb apps with helpers for testing merb without starting a server. * pin down plugin arch Seems to me that these two tasks go together unless you want to have rspec built in Merb. Regarding the test harness, my understanding is that: - a developer should be able to easily write specs against a merb application. - a developer should not need to start a merb

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

Hi, i have small problem when you upload file by input type=file to rails then in rails it is represented by one of following StringIO, File, Tempfile Is it all? Or can it be represented by also other class? I need to know this because i have my own validation of file kind and when is mime type invalid then i want to put msg to record.errors and i also want to dont upload this file in next

Hi, I have mongrel 0.3.14, with ruby 1.8.5, rails 1.1.6 and mongrel cluster 0.2.1, on debian sage 3.1 with apache 2.0, and fastthread 0.6.1. I am load balancing 3 mongrel processes using the random port trick. When I start mongrel the processes have about 60MB, but after some hour of usage the memory ballons upto more than 180MB and the site becomes terribly slow. Forcing me to restart mongrel

First off, I''m not trying to spec attachment_fu, I know it''s been tested. But, I added some code to that model that I do need to test. Basically, I need to somehow fulfill the "uploaded_data" property so I can actually run my tests(otherwise they fail because of validations). The "uploaded_data" field is what would grab the multipart data from form. Here

Is there a simple way of forcing file_column to download file from given (ex. in form) url instead of uploading it manualy? I know: http://blog.caboo.se/articles/2006/01/09/file_column-magick-and-versions require ''open-uri'' Attachment.find_first.filename = open(url) if not working as expected... what is interesting is that: >> @a =

Hi all, I am new to Ruby programming language. I know that require ''gemname'' is used for using some gems in our application. I have a sample application developed in Ruby on Rails which have the following lines of code: require ''zlib'' require ''stringio'' Can you plz help me to know what these gems are used for. It would be very helpful if

All, Trying to upload multiple files. Form: <% index = 0 for @image in images do %> <TR> <TD> <%= @image.path.split(''/'').last[0..39] %>: <% if ((! @image.path.nil?) && (@image.path.length > 40)) %> <%= h("...") %> <% end %> </TD> <TD> <%=

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.
