similar to: Configuring Mongrel logging

We have been searching for a Rails deployment architecture which works for us for some time. We''ve recently moved from Apache 1.3 + FastCGI to Apache 2.2 + mod_proxy_balancer + mongrel_cluster, and it''s a significant improvement. But it still exhibits serious performance problems. We have the beginnings of a fix that we would like to share. To illustrate the problem, imagine a

Can anyone explain this oddity to me? Given two classes as follows: class Question < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :category end class Category < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :questions end I get the following: >> q = Question.find 6789 => #<Question:0x37e9e70 @attributes={"id"=>"6789",

All, Although I''ve been keeping an eye on Ruby for several years now, I don''t have a huge amount of experience with it. So please forgive me if I''m missing something obvious. I''m in the process of writing my first really "serious" Rails app and would appreciate your advice. I am wondering if there is a standard idiom for including assertions in

Is there any documentation about how mock objects work in RoR, specifically exactly how one should use the test/mocks directory. Is it just me being incompetent searching for it, or hasn''t this been documented yet? Thanks in advance for your help! paul.butcher->msgCount++ Snetterton, Castle Combe, Cadwell Park...

Hello! Today I''m announcing a "soft but official" release of Mongrel 0.3.13.4 for the Unix fans in the crowd. It''s been running stable for quite some time now for many people, and should be great for nearly everyone. You can read the announce at: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/ This release includes new versions of mongrel_upload_progress and mongrel_cluster.

We''re still just starting out with Mocha/Stubba, so please forgive any newbie errors. I''m using "stubs" to test some realtime functions, to control exactly which time is returned from Time.now. I would expect the following test to pass: def test_two_stubs t = Time.now - 60 Time.stubs(:now).returns(t) start_time = Time.now t += 20

Rails instances themselves are almost always single-threaded, whereas Mongrel, and it''s acceptor, are multithreaded. In a situation with long-running Rails pages this presents a problem for mod_proxy_balancer. If num_processors is greater than 1 ( default: 950 ), then Mongrel will gladly accept incoming requests and queue them if its rails instance is currently busy. So even

Anybody else experiencing problems accessing ruby-forum.com ? For the past week or so I''ve mostly not been able to access it. It either never loads, or displays a 500 error message. I prefer it though to direct email, or the Mailman archives. csn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around

Morning Folks, As most of you know there were a few people who had the following three bugs: * CLOSE_WAIT: Lots of sockets in CLOSE_WAIT state. * 99% CPU: Mongrel''s getting "stuck" pegged at 99% CPU. * LEAK: Memory leak. I''ve successfully fixed these bugs or attributed them to one main cause: pstore. First, the memory leak was because of a bug in how the GC in Ruby

I''m trying to get basic unicode support working using the "Iteration A1" sample application from the "Agile Web Development With Rails" book. Following the "HowToUseUnicodeStrings" wiki document, I have made the following changes: config/environment.rb: # Include your application configuration below $KCODE = ''u'' require

While running tests, we would like to instrument some of the classes under test. We still want the classes to do exactly what they currently do, but we would like them to do more when running in the test environment. Clearly we can (and currently do) just extend the objects "on the fly" where necessary, but this is a bit messy - we''d like some centralised way to always

Hi all, I''ve been using SyslogLogger to do standard application logging and it works great. I want to do my custom application logging to a seperate log but I''m having problems. I create the default application logger with SyslogLogger.new (leaving it with the the default application name) my second instance of the SyslogLogger I pass it the name custom_app_log. Now in my

First public release of Production Log Analyzer! Download it at: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=586 The Production Analyzer lets you find out which pages on your site are dragging you down. pl_analyze requires the use of SyslogLogger (included) because the default Logger doesn''t give any way to associate lines logged to a request. SyslogLogger gives you many other

I''m totaly new to logs. I don''t read them and I totally don''t care about them :) But they are growing and take BIG space. How could I limit the size of the logs ? Is it possible to desactivate the write of logs ? Thanks

SyslogLogger version 1.4.0 has been released! http://seattlerb.rubyforge.org/SyslogLogger SyslogLogger is a Logger replacement that logs to syslog. It is almost drop-in with a few caveats. Changes: == 1.4.0 / 2007-05-08 * Split from rails_analyzer_tools. * Added eh methods for compatibility with Logger. * Added syslog-ng instructions. Patch by Tom Lianza. * Fixed require in

Like most, I have a test and a production env. Both are CentOS 5, Ruby 1.8.6, Rails 2.0.2, MySQL 5, and Apache. Both were setup using the same procedure. Except for the hardware (test: Intel, prod: AMD) and memory (test: 512M, prod: 1G), both systems are essentially the same right down to the Rails env. Unfortunately, memory usage is very different for each. The test system has 2 mongrel

I am aware that controllers can be placed in modules: ruby script/generate controller modulename/controllername But what does this buy me? Is it just a way of ensuring that my source code is nicely arranged, or can I use the fact that a set of controllers are all within a particular model to implement functionality common to all of those controllers? Why am I asking? The app

I have a rails application that runs on multiple mongrels and I would like to make the log files non-interlacing. Are there any logging modifications/other loggers out there that I could use to create process safe logging? Thank you, Matt Margolis

Hey, I''m using mongrel supervised via runit. I''d like to capture mongrel logs with svlogd, which just requires logging to stdout/stderr. But, the Rails app is logging in its own log directory. Is there a way to make both mongrel and Rails log to stdout/stderr? Thanks, Mike -- Michael P. Soulier <msoulier at digitaltorque.ca> "Any intelligent fool can make things
