similar to: Managing requests for static content in WEBrick and Mongrel

I''m looking for an easy way to have mongrel only serve dynamic railscontent, while letting Apache serve non-Rails content. Unfortunately,it seems that you have to segregate the static content in its ownfolder. That was also the case with the SCGI runner. I used thetrick outlined athttp://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails/23347 to managethis. I was curious if a similar

I know that Mongrel is a web server that hosts rails applications. But i don''t understand what part Lighttpd (or Apache) has in the setup. I know that you can use Mongrel on its own. What does Lighttpd improve on? Thanks, Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m creating a Rails application which will be deployed to desktop machines, running both the webserver and the browser (it''s a test- taking application which needs to be able to run without an internet connection). For this reason, I''ll be running Mongrel or WEBRick, without an Apache/ Nginx in front of it as you would normally do. The browser will access the Mongrel

It appears that Mongrel is now the default development server for Rails as of 2.x. I''m assuming this because I''m unable to run Mongrel (for reasons I don''t totally understand yet - I am running Windows and I keep getting asked for MSVCR80.dll which is a _64 bit_ dll on my Win XP machine) and if I issue ruby script/server, I see the same errors that I get when I try to

Hi, After following advice from you good folks, I gave mongrel a try in a cluster design based on the example on the Mongrel website - and it worked right out of the box which is great - and it''s very fast :) I have got a bit stuck though. I have two MS Word files in /public/files/. I can pull back these files no problem but it isn''t sending a mimetype. I think I have two

On httpd I use ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse to forward requests to webrick and mongrel. How can I do this same thing using Lighty and Mongrel? Thanks, Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, I''ve been working away to setup mongrel as my production server, however I am running into an odd problem and am not sure where to investigate for the answer. When I run using mongrel_rails start most things work fine, but a I get a few inexplicable undefined method errors, for example: undefined method `send_qbxml'' for #<Sync:0x2aaaafa7aa78> The method is

Just switched over to passenger for development and production for my rails app. Liking it so far. My problem is my image_links, stylesheet_tag_links, and javascript_tag_links are all adding "http://localhost:3000 to the generated links. I got around the stylesheet and js links by not using the helpers. I can access my all of my assets directly via http://dating.local/stylesheets/all.css,

I see that the RubyOnRails.com site has migrated to Mongrel with Apache as a front-end proxy. Is that now the/a recommended setup for Rails apps? We''re still using FCGI but I''m always interested to learn more about other folk''s successful deployment choices. Across all of our sites we''re pumping out about 300k pages per day so anything that saves memory or has

We have our rails application running using lighttpd and everything seems fine with Firefox, but when the client is Explorer some media doesn''t get transferred from the server correctly. With Webrick, Content-Length is set when a request is made for an mp3 file. Using Firefox with lighttpd, Transfer-Encoding is set to chunked, so the Content-Length field isn''t required.

Hi all: Here''s a pre-release for mongrel_cluster to support current Mongrel 0.3.13.4 pre-release. Changes: - ''mongrel_rails cluster::restart'' now calls ''mongrel_rails stop'' and ''mongrel_rails start''. ''cluster::restart'' now accepts the ''force'' argument instead of ''soft''. -

My question is about the static files in the Rails public folder. These files should be served by Apache instead of Mongrel, so do I need to upload these files to Apache''s htdoc''s or will Apache cache them the first time they are requested from Mongrel... Im not sure how this works? Many thanks.

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

I have an action which requests another URL from the same site (for testing purposes), but it keeps timing out. If I use an off-site URL, the action works fine. I also notice that I''m only able to request one page at a time from my server - the rest just spin until the previous requests complete. Is this some setting in Lighty, Mongrel, or my browser (Firefox - I played around with

Oh well, needed a good subject, sounds funny enough? http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/5475 Add "automatic" mongrel support to script/server Status: closed, commited in rev #4486.

Hey folks, I''m working on the Mongrel book with Zed, and wanted to get some feedback from the core users (this list) about how they use Mongrel. That sounds a bit vague, but I''m interested in hearing things about frustrating problems / workaround, preferred configurations, if you have a particular way you set up / store your config files when developing / deploying an

Hi, I''ve got 40 mongrels running across 4 machines with a hardware load balancer as a proxy. The mongrels serve everything, even files. How screwed am I if I have a 2MB file on my site? Say 40 people are downloading that file. Are the mongrels completely locked up? Joe

All, I would like to test some secure pages that I''m developing in my WEBrick-based development environment. I''ve done some research and it appears that I need to create a new command that will start a HTTPS based WEBrick server. Is this correct? Also, it appears that the https.rb module is not included with the WEBrick bundled in Rails. So, I will need to go get that

All, I would like to set up a route that causes a static "index.html" file (in the "public" directory) to be served on a request to an empty URL path (i.e. map.connect '''', ...). Can I do that with Mongrel? Basically, I want the ability to do in Mongrel what I will end up doing in Apache with a rewrite directive. Thanks, Wes -- Posted via

Why does mongrel_rails insist on loading ~/.irbrc with each request? a) I''m curious why it loads it at all (I assume there''s no way of getting an inline breakpointer??) b) Why re-load it? It causes problems with any constants that are used in .irbrc... (alternatively, how do I avoid re-assigning to a constant?) Jon -------------- next part -------------- A non-text
