Hello Mongrels, Building on the last messages about Fastthread, can we get a detailed survey of the different ways people are deploying their applications? It will help with near-future Mongrel development. Please include the following things: * Framework, if any (Camping, Merb, Rails, Nitro, Ramaze, IOWA, Rack...) * Mongrel version * Mongrel handlers used (rails, dirhandler, camping,

When I do file_field within a form_for things are fine... but within a form_remote_for, with nothing else changed, I find that the params does not even have the element document[uploaded_file] even though it is definitely present in the HTML source in the form. Obviously the file upload fails. Am I missing something? Or has someone else faced this? Or is this a known bug? Rajesh

What methods do people use to notify users of upcoming downtime in an application, and for handling requests nicely while scheduled downtime is occurring? My Google-fu is not yielding me anything useful-looking. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''m looking for the most reliable setup for Mongrel. Reliable meaning avoiding things like sending too many requests to a single mongrel process, or sending requests to a mongrel process that has hung for some reason. The handler will most likely be rails, but it might be a custom handler. SSL is also a requirement, which limits the options a bit but it can''t be done away

Hi, I''m running a rails (mongrel) based web service behind an apache proxy, on windows 2003. Sometimes I see a POST in the apache log that returned a 404 but nothing about it in the rails log. It doesn''t happen every time, 9 out of 10 times it works just fine. The post (is actually a put) comes from a .NET application uploading a small xml-file. The log message in apache

Greetings, I posted this not on the Rails mailing list and didn''t get a definitive response so I thought I''d post it here, since I figure lots of you are using mongrel with Rails apps. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I''ve been using file-based fragment caching and DB-based session caching quite extensively. I decided to try out memcached for both to

I''m running a site that gets ~30k to 40k page hits per day. In the last 4 days my mongrel processes have been jumping into high CPU usage a couple of times a day to the point where my site becomes unresponsive (database on a diff machine with no load). The only way for me to resolve the problem and reduce load on the machine is to delete my rails cache directory (I have plenty of space

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

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.

I''ve posted this to rails-deployment as well. I have to administer a medium size rails app (1''5 million requests each day), recently I''ve switched from lighttpd + fcgi to apache + mongrel. In the following lines I am going to describe the platform: All machines are running Debian Etch, with 4 gb ram and dual core intel32 processors. Web server runs debian''s

I have a periodically_call_remote call in a partial running at 0.20 times a second. <%= periodically_call_remote(:update => ''ack_distance_output'', :frequency => 0.2, :url=>{:action => :ackAdjustDistance}) %> the action looks like this def ackAdjustDistance @calMessage = Calibration.getMessage

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

Can anyone direct me to a really good tutorial on Shibboleth integration with Rails, or indeed some sample code? I''ve been tearing my hair out all day on this one.

Hi, I tried PDF writer , but it doesn''t have HTML to PDF Converter. Infact it is a PDF writer itself not a converter.. I''ve HTML pages with rich css or Strings with html+css such that they are converted to PDF. The idea is that web is all about RGB color model and when it comes to Digital Printing its all CMYK color model. My html page with rich css in

Hi I posted this to the Ruby on Rails Talk group but I thought I''d post it here too as it''s probably a more appropriate group. Hope this is ok. I''m running a 2-instance Mongrel cluster behind Apache 2.2.4 with Rails 1.2.3. If no requests are received by the application for several hours (this usually happens overnight) then Mongrel stops responding and no requests are

Howdy, I''m trying to debug a situation where a Rails app running on Mongrel +Apache stops listening to requests. Restarting Mongrel and Apache brings it back to life. First off, here''s some info on versions, etc...: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 8) ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-04 patchlevel 2) [x86_64-linux] Mongrel 1.0.1 Rails 1.2.1 fastthread (0.6.2)

After reading the digital shortcut and the documentation on the web site I''m confused. Which one should I use? pen, balance or nginx ? I don''t want to use a behemoth like appache and ssl is not needed so it reduces my choice to those three only.... What are the pros and cons of each? I don''t have much money, so the less ressources I use the better it is for me.... As

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

Hello everyone, I did some initial tests and it seems that mongrel does not support byte-range requests. Is this correct? The reason I ask is that the iPhone requires byte-range requests to work in order to stream audio or video from a web server. Thanks in advance, alan
