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

Hi Folks, I''m sure tons of people are gonna ruin a whole drawer of their best panties over this one. Rick Olson worked on the mongrel_upload_progress gem, documentation and examples and has almost everything you need to do progress tracked file uploads using just Mongrel to handle the upload. This means that Rails (or any other framework) isn''t blocked while the upload

Hi everyone, Just wanted to tell you a little story. We''ve been enthusiastic puppet users since about a year ago here at the Geographic Institute of the University of Zürich. But we won''t use the zpool type ever again. Its just not worth it. Here''s what happened: . one of our servers lost knowledge about one of its zfs pools . puppet didn''t find the pool

Hello List, I have a production machine with very low ram (Xen Virtual Server) that runs mysql and lighty->pound->mongrel (2 instances). About once a day, one of the mongrels just locks up, leaving that in its log files: *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/ruby: free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x0a744780 *** That process (mongrel) will stay locked, not answer any connections anymore and

Hi list, I have hacked together a small script to generate an ActiveRecord model from a DBDesigner 4 (fabForce.net) model file.

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 ! 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

Do you want to get in... ...and got what it takes? I''m working as it-responsible (diplomatic service) for the Republic of Cyprus. Now I want to move on, I know that I have the next big thing in the dot com biz. It all begun from a dream that became a businessplan and also later on was nominated by UN World Summit Awards and won the title as best initiative in category ICT. In a few

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

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 everybody, I just suscribe to the list because I have a problem using mongrel and mongrel_cluster... I setup a server (debian unstable wich provide apache 2.2.3 as a pakage) but I have an error when I try to access my application : ERROR 403 : Forbidden, You don''t have permission to access / on this server. When I check apache''s logs I found that : [warn] proxy: No

Hi all, Tried out the mongrel upload progress plugin with Drb and it works great on my OSX development box, but when putting it into production (Ubuntu Dapper), uploads complete but the app isn''t returning any values for upload progress, and uploads are not showing up in the queue when running upload_client.rb. Before anyone asks, yes, I''m running both the mongrel instances and

What''s a rule of thumb for guesstimating how many Mongrels to use in a cluster for an app? I have an app that gets about 5000 unique visitors per day. I figured I''d give it plenty of Mongrels -- twenty to be specific. After running out of memory and hitting the swap periodically, I scaled it back to five and it still seems to serve up visitors fine. So, is there some super-secret

Hi, I just gave Mongrel a try on my Rails app. After running ''mongrel_rails start'' everything seems fine. Yet, when I start a request I get the following error message on the console: ERROR: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! The error occured while evaluating nil.readpartial That''s it. The application works fine with Webrick and

Configuration: (2) Dual Core Opterons 8GB RAM Apache used to balance 40 mongrel instances We receive Application 500 Errors. Nothing suspect appears in the log, so we are at a lost as to what to do next. Any advice would be welcome and/or an explanation of what types of things cause Application 500 Errors in mongrel. Thanks! - Jared Brown -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Hi folks, I took a break from Mongrel today and instead whipped up an Atom feed generator for my site. People who love or utterly hate my essays will lover or utterly hate to subscribe to it. http://www.zedshaw.com/feed.atom Let me know if it isn''t working well in your favorite feed reader. -- Zed A.

Time for some all time pimpage folks. Me and Matt Pelletier wrote a small PDF book on Mongrel entitled: "Mongrel: Serving, Deploying, and Extending Your Ruby Applications" since we really wanted you to know what it was about. It''s published by Addison Wesley Professional, has just over 100 pages of goodness, and is available for $14.99 at: http://safari.oreilly.com/0321483502

It appears that part of the problem could be that when logger rolls over the mongrel log file. There is a mutex synchronization issue where the various mongrel instances all try to write to the new log file and block each other. This keeps them in a continual Application 500 Error state. Has anyone run into this problem? With log rotation turned off the problem does not appear. - Jared Brown

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

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
