similar to: script/process/spawner silently failing

It appears the spawner in Rails 1.2 will do Mongrel clustering. I''m curious what this means for mongrel_cluster. They appear to overlap in features quite a bit. I don''t think the spawner uses a config, so that''s one difference. Will they be different enough? I only ask because mongrel_cluster could, theoretically, be made extinct if the spawner script has all the same

Hi, Anyone know where i can find out more info on Reaper/Spawner. Currently, every time i add a new account on my production machine, i have to restart the whole server. After about 150 accounts, this puts a real strain on the server (it takes 3 full minutes before i can access any site on the server). I think reaper/spawner is my answer, but i am havving trouble figuring out how to use it.

I''d like to announce the second release of capistrano-runit-tasks, available from http://rubyforge.org/projects/cappy-runit/ It now supports: * File based templates * sv as the service control command in addition to runsvctrl * A much simpler interface for creating additional services. More work still needs to be done though! == TODO * Allow add_service to create more than one

Hi everyone, I''m trying to set a port with spawner, and it''s not working: ruby /var/rails/ldapadmin/current/script/process/spinner -c /var/rails/ldapadmin/current/script/process/spawner --port=7000 -i 4 -d spinner: invalid option: --port=7000 Same with -p: ruby /var/rails/ldapadmin/current/script/process/spinner -c /var/rails/ldapadmin/current/script/process/spawner -p 7000

Hi, I am reading docs to understand how to deploy with Capistrano my ROR webapps. In guides.rubyonrails.org/2_3_release_notes.html is written: "If you’re one of the (fairly rare) Rails developers who deploys in a fashion that depends on the inspector, reaper, and spawner scripts, you’ll need to know that those scripts are no longer included in core Rails. If you need them, you’ll be able to

Hi, i''m striving to capistranize a foo app on DH. Everything is hosted on DH to simplify a bit : - svn repository (http access) - the application - the DB I used the recipe of Jamis Buck modified by Geoffrey Grosenbach which you can find here : http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel_dreamhost I did the least modifications possible. As recommended. 1) When I launch the

Hi, I would like to set up a "shared hosting"-like rails environment on a linux (+Apache1.3 +FastCGI +MySQL) machine. As we all know, rails provides support for different environments. Now I would like to enable my "users" to switch individual applications between development and production mode. In theory, all they have to do is to add

I was working on deploying an app with switchtower, and I really dislike the way spawner is implemented. The way it will relaunch the dispatcher all the time just to let it die if the port is in use is too brute force for my taste. As we''re in a ruby script, why not let ruby find out if the port is in use? Using the TCPServer class we can try and bing to the port. If we succeed, it means

Greetings, Today I''ve been working out how to begin using Capistrano and so far I''m impressed. Even in my situation, learning Rails and deploying to a single server, it''s incredibly helpful. I do have one small question though: In using Subversion I''ve used the "ignore" feature to ignore my local database.yml file, because my local database and

I''d like to announce the first release of capistrano-runit-tasks. This came about as I wanted to use runit rather than spinner/spawner/ reaper on my memory limited VPS but should be useable for any setup. From the README: This library extends Capistrano to allow processes to be supervised using the runit package. It replaces some of the standard tasks with runit versions and

I''m having problems launching the spin process via the deploy.rb task. Everything works great when is run the script manually via: % ssh admin@monterey.example.net /Web/Rails/Example/current/script/spin However, when I run ''cap spinner'' or ''rake remote:exec ACTION=spinner'', I get the following errors: % cap spinner loading configuration

Hi, I have about eight active RoR sites right now. Of the eight, six are on Rails 1.1.6 and they deploy correctly every time. Two are on Rails 1.2.3, and those two do not deploy correctly. The cap deploy command runs successfully until the restart, and then it hangs: [lx07] executing command ** [out :: lx07] sudo -u wwwrun /usr/local/rails/mysite/current/script/process/spawner -r 30 -p

Apologies in advance if this ignites a war of comflicting opinions.... I''m a few days away from going live with my first RoR application. It is completely database centric and each user will have his own queries so cacheing will not really help. I have a dedicated linux server being built by my hosting provider and I need to tell them which webserver to use. The databse is MySQL

Hi everyone. I''m choosing an SCM for my current Rails project. Up until now, for my other (non-Rails) codings, I used Darcs and liked it very much. I''d prefer to use Darcs for my Rails development as well. Looking into the matter, I''m somewhat deterred by the appearant dominance of Subversion as the SCM tool of choice for Rails hackers. Is there a technical reason for

Hey y''all: mongrel_cluster provides management tools for running Mongrel behind a reverse-proxy/load balancer. It is an extraction from Rails Machine, a deployment service and Ruby library that simplifies Rails application deployment. This release fixes bugs and adds a Capistrano task library. Changes: -changed pid file format to include port -only write configuration options

Hi, I am deploying a Rails website using Capistrano to a VPS running the site through Apache and Mongrel. ''cap deploy'' works fine, and mongrels are restarted. When I execute ''cap deploy:rollback'', however, my script fails to restart the mongrels giving this error: !!! PID file tmp/pids/mongrel.5000.pid already exists. Mongrel could be running already.

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

Is there a way to tweak rails 1.0 or 1.1-rc1 to use less RAM? I''m using a VPS (Linux UML) with < 160 MB RAM and would like to explore ways to make rails run more efficiently under such constraints. Are there articles/tips about this or do I need to look into this from scratch? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

While I could figure this out, I''m asking here first to see if anyone has already dealt with/created this. I''m running a mongrel cluster, running 4 mongrels on ports 8001-4. I''m using capistrano to deploy. And I''d like to use monit to check to make sure everything is running nice. I''d like to have monit restart only single mongrels if they fail, and

My needs are far more modest than Capistrano''s capabilities. Also, when working in a shared hosting environment, the Capistrano model can be outside the capabilities allowed by the Web host. I simply need to push selected directories (on a changed-file basis) out to a server. I have about 80% of the code written to do this (I''m considering YAC for the name, with a nod to
