similar to: mongrel cluster mysteriously stopping when using shared FS

Hi, I have a number of servers running mongrel cluster all of whom feed off of a shared filesystem (OCFS2). Each cluster has its own mongrel_cluster_web2.yml file with distinct PID and Log file names. In theory they shouldn''t be aware of each other''s presence. What I have found is that when I want to test a new set of code on one server and I shut one server''s mongrel

Hello all After installing Mongrel, Mongrel Cluster and all it''s dependencies via gems under FreeBSD. Next I have configured all config/mongrel_cluster.yml for each Rails app, then: % mkdir /usr/local/etc/mongrel_cluster and likend each railsapp.yml to it''s refering app/config/mongrel_cluster.yml My question is, after preparing all base configs now I need to add some rc.d

Hi all, I am out of my head here... I have a 3 node cluster with 10 mongrels running on each. When I deploy, I break all the mongrels every time. I have tried just about everything. I can restart my mongrels without a hitch manually, it''s only when I use cap deploy. Maybe I am missing something here... so if I can get some help it would be appreciated. The errors are the typical mongrel

I want to restart my Mongrels from crontab periodically to free up memory. I tried this: [admin at mudcrapce ~]$ mongrel_rails cluster::restart -C /var/www/apps/mudcrapce/current/config/mongrel_cluster.yml Restarting 5 Mongrel servers... mongrel_rails restart -P log/mongrel.3040.pid !!! PID file log/mongrel.3040.pid does not exist. Not running? mongrel::restart reported an error. Use

I''m in the process of setting up a mongrel cluster at the moment, and I''m running into a bit of an issue. Even worse is that I''m not sure whether this is a mongrel thing, or an Apache thing. While I''m inclined to think that this might be a balancer thing, I decided there was a higher chance hearing back from mongrel-users than from apache-users, so I''d

I just created a test rails app, and am having very wierd issues with mongrel cluster. Here''s what I''m doing: rails test sudo chown -R mongrel:mongrel test cd test sudo mongrel_rails \ cluster::configure -e production \ -p 8000 -N 3 -a 127.0.0.1 --user mongrel \ --group mongrel It correctly writes the mongrel_cluster.yml file to the config directory. Now,

I''m new to setting up a production server with Rails, so I tried to do what seems to be the standard setup right now: a couple mongrel servers behind Apache 2.2. I''ve got a test page that refreshes itself every couple of seconds, and I''ve noticed that I get a "Proxy Error" when that''s run for about a minute or so, from what appears to be a mongrel

Hi. I am currently learning Ruby and writing an app that simply uses Mongrel''s HttpHandler class to create simple ruby servlets. At the end I have been using code similar to the example in simpletest.rb: h = Mongrel::HttpServer.new("0.0.0.0", "3000") h.register("/test", SimpleHandler.new) #h.register("/files",

Hi -- I have been reading documentation and googling around to find the correct way to do this but I have found many ways that seem to not work, or the documentation makes no reference to. I am using mongrel cluster with 10 mongrels for each server. Recently I installed monit but which lead me to find the correct way to start/stop mongrel instances one pid at a time. I am assuming one pid at a

i posted some of these questions on the rails list, but thought that i should probably post them here instead. zed has already answered one of my questions, but i did have a couple more. 1) mongrel is not writing the pid file, which i have specified in the config file --- :cwd: /srv/www/railsapps/rftrack :includes: - mongrel :log_file: log/mongrel.log :config_script: :pid_file: log/mongrel.pid

OK, maybe not even best practices, but at least, tested practices. >From my reading thus far, it is evident I shouldn''t use Rails to handle mongrel log rotation. Fine, I''m sold on that. The advice I''m seeing says that that one should use an external script to do this. So my question is, what are people using? What''s working well? Simple bash scripts or

Hi, I have a ruby on rails website. Server configuration is: 1. Nginx 2. 4 mongrel clusters running on different ports. After a long idle time few of the mongrel clusters stops responding. I have set "ActiveRecord::Base.verification_timeout = 14400" in environment.rb file, but still it''s not working. On executing "lsof -i -P | grep CLOSE_WAIT" command, I usually

Hi there, I have a scheduled task which I started from Rails, set to run every 5 minutes, it takes probably about 20-30 seconds to execute (it''s aggregating some feeds). It ran for about 5 hours and then mysteriously stopped -- the logs show no errors. This kind of sucks because it''s like a silent failure, has anyone else had this problem? --simon --

I had posted a thread couple of weeks ago whereby mongrel just mysteriously stops interacting with my application after an idle period...usually less than 8 hours. http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2007-February/002908.html I had hoped this would go away after a few upgrades but to know avail. Interestingly, the process does not die...it still accepts HTTP requests but does not

Can''t install the latest mongrel (1.1.5) in JRuby (jruby revisions ranging from 6600 to 6750[trunk] checked) -- the platform is not being identified and it''s trying to do native compilation. I''m not sure it''s actually a problem with Mongrel or JRuby however -- perhaps there isn''t a mongrel-1.1.5-java.gem on rubyforge? Some investigation below: $

Hello, I''m a noobie to Rails and even more to mongrel. I have an issue with one server that I''ve installed mongrel. Its a Fedora Core 5 box, and it is having problems loading the Oracle OCI8 libraries. However, this only occurs when I use mongrel_cluster, or mongrel with out the - d switch. I have no problem using the library from the commandline and with Webrick or

Hi all, i im using Capistrano2 to deploy my rails app and Apache/Mongrel as it''s env.

I am considering upgrading to either Mongrel 1.1.1 or 1.0.4, and Mongrel-cluster to 1.0.5. Are there any gotchas or issues I need to be aware of? Also where can I find the release notes for the various releases? (The ones I found seem very sparse). Thanks, Brian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
