similar to: Mongrel freeze

Greetings, I need some help... please be gentle :-) MY SETUP: Solaris-X86, ruby-1.8.4, Apache-2.2.0, Mongrel-0.3.13.4, MySql-4.1.10a I am using the typical setup with apache proxying request to mongrel with mod_proxy_balancer. Currently, I am only running a single instance of mongrel behind the proxy. I am also using the following gems with this app: capistrano (1.2.0) daemons (1.0.2)

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

I have a rails app serving up XML on an infrequent basis. This is being run with mongrel and mysql. I''ve found that if the app does not get exercised for longer than a few hours it goes dead ("Lost Connection to MySQL") and starts throwing Errno::EPIPE errors. It seems that the mysql connection gets timed out for inactivity or something like that. It can be restarted with

Hi 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 detected by Rails (at least nothing is in the Rails log). Nothing untoward is in the Mongrel log. If you try and visit the application, the request times out

Hi, I have Apache (2.2) setup to proxy requests through to Mongrel (0.3.12.4) for a Rails (1.1.2) application (on ruby 1.8.4). The setup is great, but I''m experiencing some nightly failures. I thought I''d post here before digging in too deeply, but it looks like Rails is going into lala land and Mongrel can''t recover... Seems like everything gets all backed up in

i am using the following comman to fire up mongrel: [sergio@vb_workstation chatlogger]$ mongrel_rails start -d -p 8088 ** You have sendfile installed, will use that to serve files. and everything works fine until some point at night.. i think it is pooping out some time in the middle of the night.. if i try to hit the app in the morning, it just stalls out.. if i restart it, it''s

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

Dear ALL, I saw this in article from mongrel faq, Q: Mongrel stops working if it''s left alone for a long time. If you find that Mongrel stops working after a long idle time and you''re using MySQL then you''re hitting a bug in the MySQL driver that doesn''t properly timeout connections. What happens is the MySQL *server* side of the connection times out and

This isnt totally a rails question; I am using ActiveRecord for storing some simple values into a database. My problem; I keep gettign MySQL Errors. On the Win32 machine it was off and on. Now on the linux machine (ubuntu) I can'' t connect at all. I have all the password settings correct. My only thought, I am working with Threads and thought that might cause the issue, but I

Hi. I have mongrel 1.0.1 running a really simple application and found to lock up (rarely, but still). There''s nothing in the logs, it just stops responding. When I mongrel_rails stop it, I get lots of entries like: Waiting for 3 requests to finish, could take 60 seconds /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.0.1/lib/mongrel.rb:675:in `process''

Hi guys, I''ve been running mongrel for a while now with Ruby 1.8.4, and last week upgraded to 1.8.6. Since upgrading, each morning when I wake up there''s a big problem: 1. Accessing the site returns a "500 Internal Server Error" 2. All the mongrel_rails processes are still running, but none of them are active (when I run top) 3. Lighttpd and pound are still

Recently I started noticing that after running for a while puppetmaster would freeze after a client called `freshness` which would eventually result in the client getting a timeout and the client dyeing. I tracked the freeze down to the call to ActiveRecord::Base.verify_active_connections! in rails.rb on line 26. After scouring the nets I finally found:

I just moved from apache2/fcgi to apache2.2/mongrel and everything seems to work great except for 2 issues, one being major and one minor. the major issue i am experiencing is that after a period of time where my rails apps are not used, typically overnight, the mongrel processes become unresponsive. I currently have 3 apps running behind an apache2.2 proxy. every morning when i come in to

I know this question gets asked a lot but I can''t seem to find the answer when I search through the mailing list. First off here''s my set up. Cent OS 4.3 Apache 2.0 Fast CGI 2.4.0 Rails 1.1 Mysql 5.0 The app starts up fine, but every morning it refuses to start and gives me the dreaded Application error untill I reload Apache. I thought my database was timing out so I added

Hi, in a production environment we are running into "MySQL server has gone away" errors (see below) when we call rebuild_index in aaf. This happens sporadically. Any suggestions for what might be wrong or workarounds? I guess we try a reconnect before we call rebuild_index?

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: ...

Hi everyone, I have been trying to solve this problem for quite some time now and I really don''t have any further clue to investigate. I am running a mongrel_cluster 1.0.5-2 (mongrel verison : 1.1.5-5) on a ubuntu box with apache2 2.2.12-1ubuntu2.1 I have 4 different apps on the same box and each app has two mongrel instances. After a short period of time ( < 2 hours ) some of the

Hello, I am running mongrel 1.1 in production mode behind a lighttpd with mod_proxy. At first everything works fine, however, after a few days, the mongrel servers stop answering at all, even if I try to connect to them directly. I have checked logs but there is no sign of anything at all, and even when there was not a single request for a few days, it did freeze, and that on repeated occasions.

Hi One of the two mongrel processes has died in the middle of the night four times in the past 9 days, and I need help debugging this. Each time the symptoms are the same: * Each time I can restart the process via cap -a restart_app. * Before the restart, there is nothing unusual in production.log or mongrel.log. * During the restart, about 100 repetitions of an error message are generated in

As a follow up from my previous post, I am pondering some changes to my env. I read that with AR I should change the verification timeout to be lower than the MySQL db Interactive_timeout. Now, I have done some performancing tuning to mysql in LAMP env''s but not RoR. MySQL typical set the default interactive_timeout to 8hrs (28800) this has bitten me a few times with sleeping processess
