Hey folks, I ran into a few people at RubyConf who were having 99% CPU issues. Please contact me if you meet the following criteria: 1. You are running a production site. 2. You are experiencing 99% CPU errors. 3. This is frequent enough that you cannot manage it. Thank you. Please contact me off-list about it. -- Zed A.

Hi ! My mongrel just starting spitting out these nice lines: The error occured while evaluating nil.accept. TELL ZED HE''S A MORON. !!!!!! UNHANDLED EXCEPTION! You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! Not sure what happened or why, but just FYI: Zed, you are a moron :-) Happy holidays! Gitte Wange

Hi all- I''m running mongrel with a tiny HttpHandler that hooks into a larger library I''m working on. I''ve run into a snag with trying to debug with it in that I''m not entirely sure how to get the exception logs of errors that are raised. All I get to stderr is this: Fri Dec 22 17:16:14 -0800 2006: ERROR: Couldn''t find Models::Contact without

Is this the behavior that supposedly indicates a problem with a particular action? Mongrel in development mode randomly hangs on random actions. Further requests cause USR1 logs like: Mon Sep 18 13:04:03 PDT 2006: 0 threads sync_waiting for /, 2 still active in mongrel. Mon Sep 18 13:07:52 PDT 2006: 1 threads sync_waiting for /public/stylesheets/table.css, 3 still active in mongrel. Mon Sep 18

Hi, I''ve recently been trying to setup Mongrel behind Pound so that I can do mutual SSL authentication. I''ve had a few problems with Pound (documented at [1]), but now have it working correctly. However, I think there is a problem with Mongrel and how it deals with the headers Pound adds to the HTTP header block. One of the extra headers Pound adds is

Calling All Mongrel Minions! I wanna have some fun and would like this as a Christmas present. The site http://www.workingwithrails.com/ has this lame popularity system that''s kind of irking some of the main Ruby contributors. I think it''s kind of funny, but would like to demonstrate what an army of motivated people can do to these kinds of popularity contests. So, as a

Hi list: I started to make a quick GemPlugin command [ssl::start] that sets up an stunnel before calling the normal [start] command. so $ mongrel_rails ssl:start will do everything that start normally does and configure/setup an stunnel. The question... Obviously this plugin will require stunnel to be installed. What do you think is the best move: 1) nothing, just require that people

Hi One of the two mongrel processes has died in the middle of the night four times in the past 9 days, and I need help debugging this. Each time the symptoms are the same: * Each time I can restart the process via cap -a restart_app. * Before the restart, there is nothing unusual in production.log or mongrel.log. * During the restart, about 100 repetitions of an error message are generated in

Hello all, For the past couple of weeks I have been spending some time debugging a couple of issues I was having with Mongrel when I put load on it. I have seen two distinct issues: 1. Mongrel stopped responding as if in an endless loop. 2. Mongrel crashed when severely loaded. I believe to have resolved these two issues and have attached patches which shows the resolution (simple as it is).

Hi list, I have tried to reach Bradley (author of mongrel_cluster) by mail, but have not gotten a response. So I''ll try trough this channel: I have ''developed''[1] a small extension to mongrel_cluster that allows selective restart of any one listener in a configuration that contains more than one listener by using a command like mongrel_rails

I''m running a site that gets ~30k to 40k page hits per day. In the last 4 days my mongrel processes have been jumping into high CPU usage a couple of times a day to the point where my site becomes unresponsive (database on a diff machine with no load). The only way for me to resolve the problem and reduce load on the machine is to delete my rails cache directory (I have plenty of space

Zed, I purchased your book and was reading through it. On page 25 it states: "Mongrel will give precedence to the parameter values in the config file over those in the command line." I was wondering why this is not the other way around, preference given to the command line options. Thanks, ~Wayne

I''m wondering if it''s possible to setup mongrel to have multiple document roots? The use case I''m trying to solve is one where I have a library of shared CSS/JS/Images and would like multiple rails application to use them. I have written a proxy controller and added some routes to serve the static files and it works reasonably well, but is extremely slow, because

Hello Mongrels around the world! Been thinking a way to unify the issue I described in the subject. For those who aren''t aware, mongrel (actually, mongrel_rails) only generate the log file if daemonize was used (-d) That means no log file under windows, due his lack of fork/daemonization capabilities. Now, users that need to run mongrel on windows cannot report and fill the empty

Z-Man, DHH recently said: "And [_why''s] latest work on sandbox looks stellar. Making it drop-dead easy to run multiple Rails applications in the same Mongrel process without conflicts. Thumbs up to both him and Matz for getting Sandbox on track for inclusion with the next Ruby release." Does that mean what I think it means - that one or more Mongrel processes may one day be

I have Mongrel Cluster setup with Apache a mod_proxy_balancer. I''ve seen (from time to time) mongrel instances become non-responsive. Is there anyway to configure the balancer so that it "knows" which processes are no longer good and stops trying to use them? _______________________________________________________ The FREE service that prevents junk email

First off: Our clusters are LVS balanced Apache 2.2.3 + mod_proxy_balancer + gem mongrel 0.3.13.3 / mongrel_cluster 0.2 + memcached / gem memcache_client + gem rails 1.1.6 on debian boxen, and a pgcluster backend. On 2 of our deployed clusters, we are getting the "spinning mongrel" problem. As the clusters are very low volume right now, it takes days to collect a spinner, making it

[That subject line is of course a severe truncation!] I''ve got a REST request that works fine from curl but causes a mongrel error when executed from a Java program. This all worked with fine with rails 1.1.6 and webrick. I''m trying to update the app to rails 1.2.1 (I need working around_filters). I''m running in development mode with mongrel 1.01 running on macosx

Hi there what''s the status of the 0.13.4 release on Windows? I want to wrap up a project in the next 2 weeks and I''d wait for the new release if it''s coming in that timeframe. Otherwise I''d stay with the current windows version. thanks Jens-Christian Fischer
