similar to: Restarting mongrel cluster from other directories

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

Hi, I''ve a few problems with my rails app at the minute, causing mongrels in a cluster to die, while I debug I''ve setup monit to keep the site running. Problem is, whenever monit starts one of my mongrels via mongrel_rails cluster::start --only 8000 --clean -C /url/to/yml/file I get the following in my log/mongrel.log: ** Mongrel available at 127.0.0.1:8000 ** Writing PID file

Greetings - I dug around a bit and I couldn''t find a definitive answer to this question, apologies if it''s been covered before. A box running a apache 2.2 -> mongrel cluster for a rails app got power cycled at my ISP. Unfortunately monit couldn''t start the mongrel processes because the pid files were still there. Here is my monit config (for each mongrel

Hi folks. Using mongrel_rails and the mongrel_cluster capistrano recipes, I often encounter a situation where some of the mongrel processes don''t die in time to be restarted. The output of capistrano will tell me something like "mongrel on port 8001 is already up", but that''s only because capistrano/mongrel_rails failed to take it down in the first place. The solution

Hello all, So, I''ve been using monit with mongrel for a while now, since the 0.3.x days (I think it was). It used to work fine, but now I seem to be having some trouble. I''m currently using mongrel 1.0.1 and I am using the same monit configuration I''ve always been using, yet everytime monit should restart mongrel, I get "Execution failed". For the start

Is there anything mongrel cluster gives you that monit doesn''t? I''ll be using monit to monitor a number of other services anyways, so it seems logical to just use it for everything including mongrel. Chris

Alright, I have googles and read through the docs on monit I get this error when adding -v starting monit monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support? monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support? Am I missing something here? set daemon 120 set logfile syslog facility log_daemon set mailserver localhost set httpd port 28212

On one of my development servers mongrel dies when idle for any length of time. Since I''ve not been able to solve that problem I thought I''d route around it by using monit to kick things when necessary. My monitrc contains the following... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- check process mongrel_8310 with pidfile

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

Hi! I run a mongrel cluster with 6 mongrels in it. I want to monitor them individually for process hangs (and then restart them) and this is the solution I came up with: Here''s my configuration file for monit (/usr/local/etc/monitrc): [snipped relevant bits] ------ #check lighttpd process check process lighttpd with pidfile /var/run/lighttpd.pid start program =

Hello, I''ve been trying (unsuccessfully) to hack my mongrel_cluster to re-ststart in an alternating manner. Specifically, this soluiton: http://blog.carlmercier.com/2007/09/07/a-better-approach-to-restarting-a-mongrel-cluster/#content Which means I an call to mongrel_rails cluster::restart to do this: mongrel_rails start 8001 mongrel_rails stop 8001 mongrel_rails start 8002

Hi Y''all, Just a quick note announce an update to mongrel_cluster. Changes: - ''mongrel_rails cluster::restart'' now calls ''mongrel_rails stop'' and ''mongrel_rails start''. ''cluster::restart'' now accepts the ''force'' argument instead of ''soft''. - Added ''.conf'' as

Hi everyone, I am going crazy over here! :) I just want to be able to use --clean with my mongrel_rails cluster::start command. I''ve upgraded to mongrel_cluster 1.0.1.1 and mongrel_rails 1.0.1. my config file is in /etc/mongrel_rails/config.yml and contains: --- log_file: log/mongrel.log port: 8000 pid_file: /var/run/mongrel_cluster/mongrel.pid servers: 2 address: 127.0.0.1 environment:

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,

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 *, What''s the best way to find out on which port mongrel is running from within Rails? I have a cluster of mongrels behind a balancer (Pen) behind a webserver (Apache). In Rails, request.port return 80 and request.env[''SERVER_PORT''] returns 3000 (the port of Pen) Any ideas? Cheers, Max

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,

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

I played around with this some more and when I changed line 142 of /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.13.4/bin/mongrel_rails from "exec cmd" to "system cmd" Mongrel has successfully restarted every time I''ve tried ("mongrel_rails restart"). Hell if I know why exec doesn''t work -- googling on "exec Operation not supported ruby"

Hi everyone, I''ve got some trouble with my RoR application running with apache (2.2.9) and mongrel (1.1.5). The site i manage has about 20''000 visits a day, and we run 14 mongrel instances switched with mongrel_cluster (1.0.5). The fact is, sometime, half of my mongrel instances are raising something like 500MiB memory and don''t seem to work anymore. The server itself
