Alright folks, after nearly a month of pounding and beating up the Mongrel 1.0 RC1 release we''re putting out the official 1.0.1 release. Read all about it at the (much funnier) news posting: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/news.html For those people in a hurry, the gems should hit the mirrors and you can install using your usual commands. Refer the the above page for more help.

It would be an interesting topic. I bet there are quite a few. I just released one that 1/2 runs on Mongrel. http://direxionfunds.com It was released before it was _quite_ ready, but the last of the content is getting inserted today. I am still waffling on how I will leave it running longterm. Right now it uses a slightly modified version of the Mongrel http parser with EventMachine to front

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

Hi Everyone, Just want to get out another ping on the Mongrel pre-release saga. I''ve updated a bunch of the documentation to include documents people have donated and to beef up the FAQ for most of the questions people have asked over the past month. INSTALL gem install mongrel --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/ CHANGES * Fixed memory leak by switching to Sync rather

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

IE6 happily sends unsafe* characters unencoded if you''ve typed them into the URL bar of your IE6 window. This could happen if you copy & paste a URL from an email or web page. Mongrel doesn''t seem to handle these properly. In 0.3.13.3 it would print out something like: Sun Oct 15 23:05:38 CST 2006: BAD CLIENT (192.168.1.2): Invalid HTTP format, parsing fails. 0.3.13.5

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 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

I tried using the killall -USR1 mongrel_rails to check on a problem, and all I get is mongrel_rails: no process killed Nothing shows in the log. Any ideas? I''m using the latest pre-release, and a ''ps'' shows my cluster is running. Cheers, Brett

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, I am having a bit of a problem with my app that is using mongrel. For a particular vendor we use, they are generating links that look like:

The company I work for is launching a new web site tomorrow. News of our launch will be published in major publications throughout the week so I want to make sure we are prepared for the load. Production Environment: HP Proliant server w/ 8GB RAM and dual AMD64 Opterons Memcache is used as the session and fragment store (512MB for it) MySQL is running on a seperate server in the same rack We use

Hi, Whenever I restart mongrel on my production server, the first request in my browser always fails, I get this error: Processing Base#index (for 83.xx.xx.xx at 2006-09-03 16:08:47) [GET] Session ID: f1918346d193e19a70c3230286e5ce1a Parameters: {} TypeError (superclass mismatch for class Stats): /app/models/stats.rb:1 stats.rb:1 just contains a normal A/R line: class Stats <

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, 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

Hi, I kept getting a very weird question about Mongrel (http://mongrel.rubyforge.org) and SCGI that I think really needs to be cleared up: ** Mongrel is not SCGI and will never need, use, require, or interact with SCGI (unless someone wants to write the handler for it). ** For some reason people have been under the impression that Mongrel actually uses or interacts with my other project SCGI

I''m proud to announce the official Mongrel certification program: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/certified.html Move quick, seats are filling fast for the RubyConf courses. -- Zed A. Shaw http://www.zedshaw.com/ http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/ http://www.lingr.com/room/3yXhqKbfPy8 -- Come get help.

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

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.

Hi, I''ve got to active project both running on the last Apache 2.2 and on Mongrel 0.3.13.3. One is running perfectly, the other gets (always on the same pages, but not after each request, it seems to be random) a ProxyError every now and then which leads to the mongrel process being called to die and subsequently slowing down the whole web site. I have to restart the mongrel
