similar to: Log rotation

Hi to everybody, This my first post on the list. I''m a newby of mongrel & rails, I''ve deployed my first project and everything seems to work fine, the only problem I have is the following: After about 1 or 2 days of the mongrel_rails daemon running the mongrel.pid in the log directory disappears, the mongrel process is still there running but doesn''t respond

Ok, I''m pretty sure I''ve seen this done before. I have a fixture that isn''t named the same as the table I want to insert the stuff into. Whats the right way to go about this?! Google has failed me! :( -Nick

Hi all - I searched, but didn''t see anything on this so.... Best way to rotate the mongrel.log file? Should I just restart the mongrel cluster? Or is there a better way? Thanks! -philip

OK, maybe not even best practices, but at least, tested practices. >From my reading thus far, it is evident I shouldn''t use Rails to handle mongrel log rotation. Fine, I''m sold on that. The advice I''m seeing says that that one should use an external script to do this. So my question is, what are people using? What''s working well? Simple bash scripts or

I need to process some text files quickly. I''ve not been able to find the answer in the archive. The Ruby Standard Library site times out. Can someone tell me where to find info on how to: 1. Get a list of filenames in a directory. 2. How to open a file. 3. How to read it a line at a time. -- Thanks in advance for the help, -Larry "Work, work, work...there is no satisfactory

Hi, I found this article http://cyll.org/blog/tech/2006-08-09-themongrelcomet.html on mongrel and COMET very interesting. I ran the code, and it worked just as Christopher explained. The one thing I don''t understand is why mongrel can only handle 1 connection at a time. I thought that mongrel used a thread per connection. It appears that each registered handler can only handle 1

Hi! There''s something I don''t understand yet about static/private methods. I hope someone can explain... E.g.: class SayHello def hello(who) puts "Hello, " + who + "!" end def self.say(words) puts words end end hello = SayHello.new hello.hello "World" : Hello World! hello.say "hi" : Error SayHello.say

So I have updated to the latest mongrel and fastthread and my environment is as follows: Debian 3.1 Rails 1.1.6 Ruby 1.8.5 Mongrel 0.3.18 Fastthread 0.4 Mongrel Cluster 0.2.1 Apache 2.2.3 I again woke up this morning to my disappointment of seeing the strange Status: 500 Internal Server error. It happens the same every morning, I have three mongrels running, two give the error, one

I''m confused. Wasn''t threading fixed in 1.8.6, negating the need for fastthread? Why is fastthread still a requirement of Mongrel? Just curious. :)

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

Hello, If anyone could help me out with this problem I''d appreciate it... I''m making a database of event bookings, I have an events table and a clients table. I''d like to include a form to create a new client in the form for creating a new event. This would update the parent form with the new client_id using AJAX methods (see previous e-mail) so you''d

Hi, I want to be certain that my apache and varnish logfiles are in strict date order when rotated. I'd like to run a sort command against them before they're compressed. I've had a look at the logrotate man page, and it looks like I can use a postrotate/endscript to do this. However, I can see any reference in the documentation for how to operate on the file. All the examples

I''m trying to set up shared rails websites, so every user has its own public_html for rails scripts. I''m not really satisfied with the fastcgi approach (cgi scripts can sometimes be nasty security problems) so I''d like to try the another approach. (If someone knows a good tutorial on installing rails on FreeBSD including the fastcgi configuration that would be nice).

i realise that this goes against the basic idea of the MVC architecture, but i''ve found myself in a situation where i need to get information about the current user in a model & i''m not sure how to do it. Basically, we have a product where each customer has their own profile with data stored in a separate database. There are some tables in a common

So, I want to build the greatest online radio ever! (for my, currently crappy, faderwave.net radio station. Right now, I''m running Icecast straight up. The only problem is that managing different DJs and keeping them off the air when they aren''t supposed to be there is a pain. There also is not one single management package that does everything. My current system is a hacked

Hi, Last year, I installed Asterisk 10.4.2 and enabled logrotate on daily basis which was working perfect. Now in couple of months back, the logrotate feature is not working at all but simply appending the logs in 'messages' file. Listing down down the configuration for logrotate below; /var/log/asterisk/messages { missingok rotate 5 daily postrotate /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger

Hello, I know how to share sessions between subdomains in PHP. Can anyone please guide me as to how I can share sessions using Ruby? Where can I set the value of domain for which the cookie is set? I would like for a user to login on the home page and then go to blog.home.com and not have to login again. Any guidance/pointers are appreciated. Thanks''

Hello, I would like to experiment with Xen some to see how I could integrate it in my various web application environments and hopefully make my life easier. I am currently using FreeBSD 6 but it seems that it doesn''t fully support Xen. I did some searching around and also notice some posts on mailing lists mentioning some trouble with the CentOS 4 distribution (something about the

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

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
