I''m trying to do some initial benchmarking of our setup, mainly just to establish baselines. I''m essentially using the process Zed outlines in a previous message: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2006-May/000200.html What I''m running into is that Mongrel appears only half as fast as Apache when serving a small static HTML file. If I then add in Apache with

Folks- James Cox, Alexy Kovyrin and I all huddled up and got nginx working perfectly with mongrel cluster and rails page caching. So all static and cached files are served fast by nginx and anything not static gets sent to mongrel. http://brainspl.at/articles/2006/09/12/new-nginx-conf-with-rails-caching Cheers- -Ezra

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! I''ve been following the new mongrel tuneup guide (a huge thanks for that btw) and here are my results. I''ve basically only gotten to the point where I''m tuning up 1 mongrel because I suspect I have a performance problem with my rails app. http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/how_many_mongrels.html The first number is the 10s nconns and the second is the max req/s as

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

I currently have a fairly simple Rails application running on FreeBSD under Apache 1.3 and normal CGI, and the performance I''m getting is alarmingly poor. I realize CGI or WebBrick are quite a bit slower than FastCGI, and I''ll probably use one of those instead when I have the time. However, I''m just curious if CGI is really supposed to be that slow, or if

I tried benchmarking the same site behind an NGINX proxy with both fastcgi and mongrel, and for some reason mongrel is performing pretty poorly in comparison. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Here''s my benchmarks for 1 fcgi: Server Software: nginx/0.4.0 Server Hostname: eship.com.br Server Port: 80 Document Path: / Document Length: 95

Hello Folks, This is the big release of Mongrel that''s been in the works for a while now (well, like a week). It is chock full of changes and features, but mostly it syncs up the Win32 side of things, and validates that Edge Rails works without problems. It also features a more extensive and useful example of the GemPlugins called mongrel_config. First the usual stuff for people

160,000 pages 99% static, only minor stuff done in rail (search, contact us, etc.) windows server 2003 Ror 1.0 Currently 30K Hits /day on IIS. Apache or Lighttp? Fast_CGI seems kinda slow with a 2003/Apache configuration. The only thing I''ll get rid of for sure is IIS. -Cedric -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

It would be an interesting topic. I bet there are quite a few. I just released one that 1/2 runs on Mongrel. http://direxionfunds.com It was released before it was _quite_ ready, but the last of the content is getting inserted today. I am still waffling on how I will leave it running longterm. Right now it uses a slightly modified version of the Mongrel http parser with EventMachine to front

First off, a big thank you to Zed and the development team for mongrel and mongrel cluster. I''ve deployed it for two apps (through an apache 2.2 proxy) and it''s amazing how much snappier everything is. Previously we were using lighttpd and lighttpd-fastcgi proxying through apache 2.0, which was turning into a hassle for lots of reasons, most notably the ruby fcgi

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! Today I''m announcing a "soft but official" release of Mongrel 0.3.13.4 for the Unix fans in the crowd. It''s been running stable for quite some time now for many people, and should be great for nearly everyone. You can read the announce at: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/ This release includes new versions of mongrel_upload_progress and mongrel_cluster.

Hi guys, I''ve been chasing a problem in my web-stack: Lighttpd -> Mongrel -> Rails, and found a problem with the interaction of Lighttpd and Mongrel. If a request takes more than 5 seconds, Lighty will retry it - and then the requests / responses get mixed up in Lighty and it returns a bad response to the client. Not good. I''m convinced that the problem is

Hi Everyone, I''m happy to announce the 0.2.0 release of Mongrel -- the fastest HTTP 1.1 library Ruby has yet. http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/ -- ruby docs lame page. http://rubyforge.org/projects/mongrel/ -- project page. Special thanks to Tom Copland for setting up my RubyForge goodness, and to Why for kicking in time to get the Camping examples up to snuff. This release should

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.

Hello Guys, I''ll like to suggest a small release fix before we start doing big changes: platform fixes. Current we''re setting MSWIN32 (mswin32) as platform for Windows gem, but we should be using Gem::Platform::CURRENT instead (i386-mswin32 as current Ruby windows implementation). Also, the jruby/java platform need to be defined. That change will ease the compatibility path

Hello Folks, This is the long awaited (like 2 weeks) 0.3.12 release of Mongrel. This release has received heavier testing than previous releases and supports a whole raft of improvements to existing functionality plus some new stuff. For those not clued in, Mongrel is a web server written in (mostly) Ruby. Check the funny dogs and read the docs about it at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/. The

Hi, I am having a bit of a problem with my app that is using mongrel. For a particular vendor we use, they are generating links that look like:

Does anyone know whether the mongrel upload progress plugin works with nginx? It works fine for my app under pound, but not with nginx. I am using DRb to handle the uploads as detailed at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/upload_progress.html . If I am using pound I can see the uploads with irb -r lib/upload_client.rb , but cannot if I am using nginx. Does anyone know anything more about this
