I am followint this article, http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/ ...but I keep getting this error in the log...not sure what to try next... ** Daemonized, any open files are closed. Look at log/mongrel.8000.pid and log/mongrel.log for info. ** Starting Mongrel listening at 127.0.0.1:8000

I followed the tutorial from Coda Hale[1] on setting up Mongrel/Mongrel_cluster and Apache to move away from my current Apache+FastCGI setup. The mongrels are all working fine, and Apache is proxying all dynamic requests through to the cluster using proxy balance. Strange thing is now, that all my images in public/images aren''t loading at all, if I access them directly I just get a

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 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

I''m using the instructions from http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/to configure mongrel_cluster with apache mod_proxy_balancer. Everything works fine, except when I try to link to a pdf file to be opened in a new window, it displays the contents of the pdf as text instead of opening it as a pdf document through Acrobat.

Hi everyone, Recently, I''ve been reading about different deployment environments for rails and mongrel. One configuration I''ve started seeing is apache -> pen -> mongrel cluster. See http://errtheblog.com/post/35 as an example. Can someone explain to me the benefit of using Apache and Pen as opposed to either using apache as a load balancer or pen by itself?

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:

okay, i have officially given up on: apache with fastcgi lighttpd with fastcgi and now i am working on getting mongrel running.. not that i don''t think that the above two are viable options, i have just spent more time trying to get this app live than i did actually writing the app.. and i need to have something working for beta testing... i installed mongrel according to:

I''m wondering if anyone has built a Capistrano task that will deploy mongrel either standalone or along with a rails app. I''ve been looking at possibilities for doing this but still new to using both having switched from using FCGI+Lighty and deploying by hand. Thanks, Curtis

I updated to ruby 1.8.6p111 last night and updated some gems and now mongrel doesn''t work: MacOS 10.4.10 $ ruby --version ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i686-darwin8.10.1] $ gem list rails *** LOCAL GEMS *** rails (1.2.5, 1.2.4, 1.2.3, 1.2.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.0, 1.1.6) Here''s a simple test: $ rails test5 create ... $ cd test5 $ script/server => Booting

I wanted to show a Rails site to someone so I set up Mongrel and it ran fine, This is my mongrel_cluster.yml, port: ?80" environment: production pid_file: log/mongrel.pid servers: 4 Now, after going back to Apache/Tomcat I can''t get the Mongrel site up and running again...? Any suggestions? (When I run Mongrel, I stop Apache first) Jim

Hi, I''m in the process of moving my blog over from lighttpd -> apache 2.2 + mongrel. Everything works fine as long as I don''t reboot :) On reboot apache comes up but mongrel_cluster doesn''t start up the pooches... I have added the mongrel_cluster call to my startup scripts like so: www:/etc/init.d# update-rc.d mongrel_cluster defaults Adding system startup for

Hello, Apologize if this is a annoying faq but folks here are trying to get a cluster going and something odd is happening. When ''mongrel_rails cluster::start'' is run, the following error is getting returned: ERROR RUNNING ''cluster::start'': Plugin /cluster::start does not exist in category /commands Is this the result of a simple path issue or perhaps a

I''m currently working on 4 different RoR apps all using mongrel cluster and each with their own config file in /etc/mongrel_cluster. I would like the ability to stop|start|restart a single app. Anyone working on something like this? I''d be happy to code it up and contribute this if there''s a need. Basically I would like this: sudo /etc/init.d/mongrel_cluster restart

Hello, For some reason when i change the "environments" line in mongrel_cluster.yml to use production, ActiveRecord Sessions stop working. Changing this line to development yield the correct result. Entries in database.yml are correct, and confirmed that the sessions table exists in both environments and that production is indeed working (production.logbeing filled up). Any idea why

I wanted to be able to specify in my /etc/rc.conf file whether mongrel_cluster should be enabled and the mongrel_cluster_config file for the init script, so I wrote this simple rc.d style script. Just throw it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and do a chmod +x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mongrel_cluster.sh To enable the script, add mongrel_cluster_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf and optionally add

I''m running the latest mongrel (1.0.1) and the latest mongrel_cluster (1.0.1.1) on FreeBSD 6.1. When I use capistrano to try to stop or restart my cluster I get this (partial) output: ps: Process environment requires procfs(5) And my Mongrel processes haven''t stopped. Any ideas? Thanks, Jamie

Hi y''all; A quick note to announce the release of mongrel_cluster, a gem_plugin for Mongrel. This plugin provides commands for managing multiple Mongrel processes behind a reverse-proxy server and load balancer. To install: gem install mongrel_cluster Configure (use -h to options): mongrel_rails cluster::configure Start: mongrel_rails cluster::start I''ve posted a quick

Hi I just setup a server (Apache 2.2, mod_proxy_balancer, mongrel_cluster) with 2 Rails applications according to this excellent Post: http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you Everythings works great, but after a long inactive period (say one night), the first 3 connections allways get an Error 500 Excerpt from production.log: ...

Hi, I''m trying to setup my mongrel clusters to start on boot. I have followed the instructions under the "On Boot Initialization Setup" section at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/mongrel_cluster.html. When I try to start it up, I get the following error: me at mybox.com: sudo /etc/init.d/mongrel_cluster start Starting all mongrel_clusters... !!! Path to log file not
