similar to: Sharing Mongrel Log Files on SAN Storage

I have a site that is PHP on Apache / RedHat , but will send requests to a subdomain (running Rails) for database operations. I believe the set up should be to have ROR using Mongrel, and an Apache virtual host passing requests from apache to mongrel. Does this sound correct ? I believe the Virtual Host is set up in Apache. One of my problems is I can''t find the httpd.conf file for

Hi, I have mongrel 0.3.14, with ruby 1.8.5, rails 1.1.6 and mongrel cluster 0.2.1, on debian sage 3.1 with apache 2.0, and fastthread 0.6.1. I am load balancing 3 mongrel processes using the random port trick. When I start mongrel the processes have about 60MB, but after some hour of usage the memory ballons upto more than 180MB and the site becomes terribly slow. Forcing me to restart mongrel

Jeff try adding to your mongrel_cluster.yml :docroot: /var/radiant/domainA.com/public -- Together we can solve any issue.

Alright folks, after nearly a month of pounding and beating up the Mongrel 1.0 RC1 release we''re putting out the official 1.0.1 release. Read all about it at the (much funnier) news posting: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/news.html For those people in a hurry, the gems should hit the mirrors and you can install using your usual commands. Refer the the above page for more help.

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

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

When I start a Rails server with $ mongrel_rails start --chdir ~/railsapp --port 3003 --pid \ /home/me/railsapp/tmp/pids/mongrel.pid --daemonize the server starts and opens two log files, development.log and mongrel.log. Both have permissions -rw-rw-rw-. If I omit --deamonize, it opens one log file, development.log, with permissions -rw-r--r--. I would like to make the server use

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 mongrelians, I found myself with an unloaded full production server recently which presented an opportunity to run some performance tests against Mongrel and nginx. I thought this list might have some interest in the results of my tinkering! I actually ran two sets of studies, and Wayne Seguin kindly provided a lot of guidance and support in getting them running. Thanks Wayne! Also,

Here are some notes from the scalability session of last week''s Rails camp. They were entered by another session participant and are posted at: http://www.rubyonrailscamp.com/10%3A15%2Bsession%2B-%2Bscaling The key points from my point of view: - the Ruby VM is sketchy, rather like the Java VM around 1997 - the single threaded nature of Rails dispatch handling means we may incur a

Hello, I''m running mongrel behind apache via proxypass. Every now and then, a spammer tries to proxy traffic through apache, and for some reason, apache forwards the request to mongrel, even though it''s not a site being hosted by me. At times this seems to cause mongrel to become unresponsive, and all requests to the site then fail with a proxy error until mongrel is

Hello mongrelians, I''ve had several submissions sent to me regarding the apache documentation on the mongrel site: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/apache.html I have assembled quite a bit of updates and changes, but if you know of anything that has been useful to you, or that is missing or can be reworded or added (or missing attributes!) please let me know. cheers, -- Charles

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

A question about mongrel, apache and authentication. I''ve got a Rails site with I think a very typical setup: a mongrel cluster behind an Apache proxy. So Apache''s handling the static stuff and it hands off dynamic content to mongrel. I want to put the site temporarily behind Apache''s basic authentication. What I get when I do this is that is a password prompt which

Hi there I have a rails app that I want to run on a Win 2k server running Mongrel. I''ve downloaded the latest version and the win32-service gem and can run it with the mongrel_rails start -d command When I try to start the same app installed as a service I get the following error: "There was a problem starting the service: The service did not respond to the start or control

Lets say you have a site that is serving, oh, around 100k unique visitors a day (plain ole'' browser requests) - plus probably ~ 40k uniques to feeds. Assume this site is 90% read like most of the web, so the traffic looks like your typical news or portal site. There are two web boxes behind a hardware load balancer, each doing apache 2.2.3 -> mongrel_proxy_balancer -> mongrel

Hi, I am using a railsapp to call an external app and print some barcode-labels. My problem is, after a while there seems to be a timeout. Then I need to stop the Mongrel-Server and restart it. Below you can see the error message, when i stop the server. Has somebody seen this before? Greetings, Oli C:\etikett>mongrel_rails start -d -e production ** WARNING: Win32 does not support daemon

I''m using the mongrel_cluster recipes for Capistrano as laid out by codahale.com and the new ed. of the Agile Development book, but I''m having problems on restart and stop: I can start: [root current]# mongrel_rails cluster::start Starting 3 Mongrel servers... And I can see 3 processes running: [root current]# ps aux | grep mongrel mongrel 1947 0.0 8.2 24684 10776 ?

Hi, I''m having a problem where connections started through BackgrounDRb::MiddleManDRbObject.init are not stopped, resulting in an ever growing established connections between my Mongrels and remote backgroundrbs I added DRb.stop_service to my code executed after requests that init MiddleManDRbObjects but that does not help. Any ideas? Thanks, Robert Bjarnason
