Using request.env[''REMOTE_HOST''] worked with WEBrick, but returns blank when running behind mongrel cluster. For IP Address, I am able to use request.remote_ip.

All, I''m trying to figure out the best way to estimate the amount of memory usage that will be taken up by Mongrel and I''m hoping that you have some estimates that can help me. I''m currently estimating the following: Memory Required = Number of running puppetmasters * size of manifests * number of clients managed The mongrel model doesn''t seem to *ever*

Is Mongrel dead? When I look at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/wiki/News the latest news was from close to a year ago, when last version of Mongrel was released. A look at the tickets shows a rather sad picture with only two developers “evanweaver” and “luislavena” contributing to the bug fixes lately. Please understand that I am not complaining – I just want to know the situation so that I can

Apologizes in advance if this sounds rather dense, but I want to make sure I''m understanding everything correctly. We''re in the process of migrating from Apache2.0/FastCGI to Apache2.0+mongrel (why not 2.2? that story is too long and too uninteresting to recount here, but I will tell you that it involves RHEL and only using RHN rpms). The init script that comes with mongrel

After much fiddling and googling, it seems to me that Mongrel, even the 1.2.0pre2 release is not compatible with Rails 3 -- is that true? When I start up a new Rails 3 project (i.e. one fresh after a `rails new` command), mongrel appears to start (creates a pid file, and reports no errors on the CLI), but the app does not load in the browser and I find this in the mongrel.log

A couple of questions please: What is the benefit of having more than one Mongrel/Rails instance on the same machine, could one instance not serve as many requests as say three instances? Is Mongrel Cluster a Apache add-in (like mod_*) or a separately running load balancer which runs on a separate port, I could not work it out from the sample Apache config... |# Redirect all non-static

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''ve done a clean install of Ubuntu 7.04 server in 2 different machines and everytime I reboot the machine or manually run /etc/ init.d/mongrel_cluster restart/start the mongrels won''t start correctly. I have to manually start them by using mongrel_rails cluster::start from each app folder. I''ve been searching around and it looks like mongrel has some problems

I''m playing with the mongrel clustering, and am having a problem getting 2 mongrels to start up reliably. This should be a pretty simple cluster, with just 2 instances running. My mongrel config (mongrel_cluster.yml) looks like: cwd: /deployment/installed/myapp/current log_file: log/mongrel.log port: "8000" environment: production address: 127.0.0.1 pid_file:

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 *, 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

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

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 everybody, I''ve been trying to setup a Ruby on Rails application on a Ubuntu Feisty machine and I''ve spent a lot of time trying to figure out why Nginx and mongrel_cluster weren''t working. The setup was correct (based on some tutorials found on the internet), but there weren''t any pid files for the mongrels started. In case anybody else has experienced the

I''ve been trying to track down the culprit of erratic behaviour and crashes on my production server (which is split into a number of Xen instances), so set up a staging server so that I could really try to get to the bottom of it. The staging server (also split with Xen) is set up pretty much identically as far as the mongrel_cluster server is concerned (the production box has two

Hi All, Machine A: has Apache 2.2 doing load balancing, also has DB and 8 mongrel processes I''m using mongrel_cluster .

If possible then, please describe me the steps required (I''m using windows machines, and already losdt one week :-( ) Best

Hello Mongrels, Mongrel 1.1 is out with fullblown JRuby support, some reorganization, and some bugfixes. Also, Mongrel_cluster has been updated to 1.0.4.
