similar to: Apache: mod_balancer vs. mod_proxy_balancer

Cheers, I''ve just published a blog post about scaling Rails with Apache 2.2, mod_proxy_balancer and Mongrel. This way you do not need another proxy server or load balancer for Mongrel. Just use Apache 2.2 and mod_proxy balancer. http://blog.innerewut.de/articles/2006/04/21/scaling-rails-with-apache-2-2-mod_proxy_balancer-and-mongrel Jonathan -- Jonathan Weiss

Our Mephisto install kills Mongrels and causes Apache to pound the CPU. This started when we moved to Apache+mod_proxy_balancer+Mongrel. Here''s what we know: The following things are working OK, except when used in the combination listed above: mongrel, mongrel_rails, MySQL, Apache, mod_proxy_balancer. We believe these are all OK because we moved five other Rails apps to this

Hello list, I wonder if someone could help me understand the following: I''ve got a managed dedicated server with GoDaddy. Until now, I''ve only hosted PHP applications there. I now need to set it up to host my new beloved Rails application. I asked them to set up apache with mod_proxy_balancer for the mongrel cluster, however, here''s what they told me: *Unfortunately,

I recently moved an app. from lighttpd + fastcgi to apache 2.2 + mod_proxy_balancer + Mongrel. On lighttpd, I was using basic authentication with a configuration like this: auth.backend = "htpasswd" auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/path/to/htpasswd" auth.require = ("/" => ("method" => "basic", "realm" => "My

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

There is a big difference if you are not running a pure rails site. I am doing auth apache-side because I serve static content, perl scripts via cgi and feed the mongrel pack from Apache. The REMOTE_USER variable value can be passed to rails using a technique described deep down in one of the informative pieces on the Mongrel website.

Hi all, I''ve been having problems with the apache 2.2-mod_proxy_balancer- mongrel setup. My setup is: CentOS 4.3 apache 2.2.3 (compiled from source) with mod_proxy_balancer mysql 4.1 ruby 1.8.4 mongrel 0.3.14 (I know I need to update but I think this problem is independent of the mongrel version) mongrel_cluster 0.2.0 rails_machine 0.1.1 I have apache setup as per Coda''s

Hi all, I encounter timeout errors during file uploads in my Rails application. I think the problem may be in the Mongrel configuration.

First off: Our clusters are LVS balanced Apache 2.2.3 + mod_proxy_balancer + gem mongrel 0.3.13.3 / mongrel_cluster 0.2 + memcached / gem memcache_client + gem rails 1.1.6 on debian boxen, and a pgcluster backend. On 2 of our deployed clusters, we are getting the "spinning mongrel" problem. As the clusters are very low volume right now, it takes days to collect a spinner, making it

Hi I just setup a server (Apache 2.2, mod_proxy_balancer, mongrel_cluster) with 2 Rails applications according to this excellent Post: http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you Everythings works great, but after a long inactive period (say one night), the first 3 connections allways get an Error 500 Excerpt from production.log: ...

Hello everyone- I am considering using Mongrel and I have read this list pretty extensively. I know that the Apache/mod_proxy_balancer/mongrel approach is the preferred one right now, with Apache serving the static content via mod_rewrite and such. However, in my hardware arsenal, I already have an old and trusty LocalDirector, which I would be inclined to at least try first as a

Suppose that I want to have a block of default content within a template that is replaced with the content of a specific partial only if that partial exists. Obviously there is the brute force approach of simply rendering the default content unless the relevant partial file exists in which case the relevant partial is rendered instead. I suspect that there may be a more elegant way to skin this

I followed the tutorial from Coda Hale[1] on setting up Mongrel/Mongrel_cluster and Apache to move away from my current Apache+FastCGI setup. The mongrels are all working fine, and Apache is proxying all dynamic requests through to the cluster using proxy balance. Strange thing is now, that all my images in public/images aren''t loading at all, if I access them directly I just get a
