I''m using a cluster of mongrels behind an apache 1.3 proxy pass. I''ve been passing the request to pen, which in turn balances the cluster of mongrels. Now, I''d like to be able to use a different server to send the static files created by the rails application, so I tried to replace pen with nginx. Everything seems to work fine except the environment variable REMOTE_ADDR.

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

Hi folks, Getting much much much closer to the 1.0 release. I have some documentation to work on tonight, and I need to go through the patch queue one more time, but I''ve put up another pre-release for people to test. What this pre-release does is pull together the various patches, monkey patching, and alternatives that make Mongrel either faster or more stable. It is also the start

I am using mongrel_cluster with mod_proxy_balancer and would like to enable compression (assuming it improves throughtput) and limit file size upload. I configured mod_deflate and LimitRequestSize in Apache, but in my trials looks like the proxied calls bypass those directives (the conf goes below). Is there a way to get this? -- fxn # Adapt this .example locally, as usual. # # To be

This GemPlugin will gzip your HTTP responses from mongrel if the client says that it supports it (eg, most modern browsers). I''ve tested it in IE6, Firefox 1.5 and Firefox 2.0RC3 Install: gem install gzip_filter --source http://edenli.com Configure (assuming rails): cd RAILS_ROOT echo ''uri "/", :handler => plugin("/handlers/gzipfilter")''

Is there any way to configure Mongrel''s logging? Specifically, I''d like to get it to output to syslog. Our Rails apps already do this (via SyslogLogger) - is there any way to persuade Mongrel to do the same? Thanks! -- paul.butcher->msgCount++ Snetterton, Castle Combe, Cadwell Park...

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

Does anyone know whether the mongrel upload progress plugin works with nginx? It works fine for my app under pound, but not with nginx. I am using DRb to handle the uploads as detailed at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/upload_progress.html . If I am using pound I can see the uploads with irb -r lib/upload_client.rb , but cannot if I am using nginx. Does anyone know anything more about this

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

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

Hi, what is the preferd way to configure/start mongrel? [ ] with Mongrel::Configurator => HttpServer [ ] @var = HttpServer.new(...) @var.run I ask because the only debug methode i have found was in Mongrel::Configurator ;-) @Zed: are you also subscribed on nitro list?! regards Alex

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

Gem drives me daft sometimes. It gives you this wonderful ability to specify a platform for a gem, but forgets to provide a command line switch to select the platform. Politely it asks you, which is all very well when you are installing on one machine interactively, but no good at all on a cluster of 15 machines from a Capistrano script. Is there any way to get gem to automatically select the

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

Hello Guys, I''ll like to suggest a small release fix before we start doing big changes: platform fixes. Current we''re setting MSWIN32 (mswin32) as platform for Windows gem, but we should be using Gem::Platform::CURRENT instead (i386-mswin32 as current Ruby windows implementation). Also, the jruby/java platform need to be defined. That change will ease the compatibility path

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

Hi, I''m getting this error message when I try to install Mongrel with "gem install mongrel" on Windows 7 x64 gem install mongrel Successfully installed mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mingw32 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for mongrel-1.2.0.pre2-x86-mingw32...

* Apologies for starting a new thread; I just subscribed. Has anyone been able to make this exploit happen if requests are being proxied to Mongrel through Apache? I''ve been trying variations on the double-encoding thing and can''t trigger the exploit through Apache. Hitting Mongrel directly does expose the problem. I''ll still upgrade my servers, of course, but I

Folks- James Cox, Alexy Kovyrin and I all huddled up and got nginx working perfectly with mongrel cluster and rails page caching. So all static and cached files are served fast by nginx and anything not static gets sent to mongrel. http://brainspl.at/articles/2006/09/12/new-nginx-conf-with-rails-caching Cheers- -Ezra
