similar to: Ruby LSAPI 1.9 + LSWS 2.2.2

Hi, First, my thanks to Zed for including LiteSpeed in cgi.rb vulnerability report. Appreciated! I just got time to review ruby-lsapi code and test the vulnerability against LiteSpeed. I found that, in our latest ruby-lsapi release 1.11, lsapi_read() function returns Qnil when the end of request body has been reached. So, in theory, LiteSpeed should not be vulnerable to this attack. Our test

Apologies in advance if this ignites a war of comflicting opinions.... I''m a few days away from going live with my first RoR application. It is completely database centric and each user will have his own queries so cacheing will not really help. I have a dedicated linux server being built by my hosting provider and I need to tell them which webserver to use. The databse is MySQL

I''m a bit surprised I can''t find anything about this in the mailing list archives. Basically since Mongrel 1.0.1 I''ve had Mongrels fall asleep without any real cause. A deep sleep, actually more like a coma. The mongrel in question (I''m using a cluster of three) can not be revived. A cluster::stop, then cluster::start is nessesary. A ::restart would not

Happy RailsDay! While everyone else was out having fun with RailsDay I spent my time wisely and wrote up tons of documentation for Mongrel and cleaned out some of the docs I''ll never write anyway. I also took the time to apply some nice patches from Jonas Pfenniger for easily setting up redirects in Mongrel. Some of the highlighted documents people will be interested in are: *

Hi Everyone, This is a small release that fixes a little bug, some of the documentation, and adds the new RedirectHandler code and a @redirect@ call for the mongrel.conf files. It''s fresh so don''t rely on it. Everyone should upgrade with the usual *gem update* command (which tells you it''s "Upgrading...") and tell me how it works. This release fixes: * The

Hi, I am glad to announce that Ruby LSAPI extension 1.4 is released, in this release we mainly addressed two issues, one is that a worker process does not remain persistent if a request has been canceled in the middle, this is addressed in 1.4. Another one is that process manager may create a lot more worker processes than the value configured when there were too many canceled requests, which

In May I had problem with mongrels suddenly consuming huge cpu resources for a minute or two and then returning to normal (load average spikes up to 3.8and then back down to a regular 0.2 over the course of 5 minutes, then again 1/2 hour later. or 4 hours later, no predictable rhythm). I posted to Litespeed forums because I thought the problem was there but didn''t get far. And a week

Hello, I would like to make some REST calls in my rails application which will then parse the XML results and display them in a view. What I am having a hard time doing is figuring out how to make the actual REST Call? I have figured out how to use XMLRPC , but the site only supports REST. Is there an easy way to initiate the GET/POST REST Calls that I need to make and analyze the returned

Hi, This message might be helpful for people who is using or plan to use LiteSpeed web server together with Rails. We posted two tutorials in our WIKI regarding Rails + LiteSpeed configuration. One is Rails + LiteSpeed API, another one is mongrel + LiteSpeed proxy. http://www.litespeedtech.com/community/wiki/doku.php?id=litespeed_wiki:ruby_rails

I''ve got a RoR app that will be going to production soon (in the next month or so) and would like to get some feedback on what kind of web server setup people have had good luck with. I''m looking for something that is: 1. Stable 2. Easy to setup 3. Secure (sorry but Windows is ruled out here) My deployment will either be on Fedora Core 5 or possible Mac OS X Server.

Hi, We released Ruby LSAPI extension 1.5 to address a bug introduced in 1.4 that may cause small post requests blocking. If you are using LiteSpeed + Ruby LSAPI, please upgrade. Best Regards, -- George Wang LiteSpeed Web Server http://www.litespeedtech.com/

Yo Zed, Just curious -- what do you think of the LiteSpeed server? Is it better than Lighty? Does it (gasp!) also serve Rails apps like Mongrel? I think I read that LiteSpeed doesn''t have proxying support. Thanks, Joe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hi, We released Ruby LSAPI 1.6 today to address a issue that some ruby processes can only be terminated with SIGKILL (-9). This is due to conflicts in signal handler between LSAPI and ruby. Upgrade is highly recommended for existing user of Ruby LSAPI + LiteSpeed.

Fellow Rail users and developers, Right now the easiest way to run Rails is in combination with Mongrel. However, it may not be a good idea to expose Mongrel directly to the outside world in a high-load production environment. In-addition, Mongrel_cluster + proxy + load balancer have to be used even for a single server deployment making the unified setup more complicated than needs be.

I''ve been reading, hearing, and looking at blogs that state Ruby on Rails is rather slow. Coming from a VB 6 world (thank you Microsoft for killing VB because VB.NET is NOT VB) I was always told that VB was a toy or too slow. Now, I''ll easily tell you that yes VB was not a great language. It had it''s share of warts, like a lot of other languages I might add, but

Hi all, I just updated lighttpd from 1.4.8 to 1.4.9 and it now refuses to start with the following error: 2006-01-24 23:12:24: (mod_fastcgi.c.989) execve failed for: public/ dispatch.fcgi No such file or directory 2006-01-24 23:12:24: (mod_fastcgi.c.1015) the fastcgi-backend public/ dispatch.fcgi failed to start: 2006-01-24 23:12:24: (mod_fastcgi.c.1019) child exited with status 2

I''ve heard good things about Litespeed but all the documentation I''ve found doesn''t reflect the new 3.3 version. The older 2 and 1 versions are just so different. I''ve gone down the road with the old docs and it''s always a dead end. I''d be happy to pay or trade code or some kind of programming favors for some help in this area. I''ve

Hi all, I got a machine with 8GB of RAM and plenty of disk space. I need gvinum to manage big number of file systems but PAE enabled kernel does not compile modules. I couldn't figure out how to get vinum statically compiled in the kernel if that is the way to go. I am running 6-STABLE. Please advise on how to get PAE kernel and gvinum working together! TIA, Stoyan

hello, could somebody refer me to the reason R uses -2*loglik + 2*(#param)+2 to calculate AIC? thank you -- Stoyan Iliev

I have some Rails apps I use on my Mac to do brutally stupid stuff like track time and activities. They''re always running, but each time I restart, I (duh) have to restart the Mongrels. Well, I know better than that, right? So I dug around in Google to find out how people are getting Mongrels started using Launchd. There are some detailed posts, but none of them seemed to work. My
