Hi mongrel users! I just posted a bad-ass capistrano file that automates *everything* for setting up an apache2+mod_proxy_balancer and mongrel+mongrel_cluster -- including apache2 setups. It''s based off Coda Hale''s guide and all Bradley''s work at fluxura and RailsMachine (thanks Coda and Bradley!). It''s, well, bad-ass, if I must say so myself. My favorite

Running into a strange bug using the mongrel upload progress plugin handler, sitting in front of a simple mongrel. The bug appears on an old Xserve (mac OS X 10.3.9 powerpc), but not on my macbook pro, or even a generic 686 linux box. http://pastie.textmate.org/98341 The gist of the pastie above shows that attempts through the browser and curl are actually hitting the filesController, as

Hello mongrelians, I''ve had several submissions sent to me regarding the apache documentation on the mongrel site: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/apache.html I have assembled quite a bit of updates and changes, but if you know of anything that has been useful to you, or that is missing or can be reworded or added (or missing attributes!) please let me know. cheers, -- Charles

Hi guys, Thanks to several members I''ve updated the apache best practices docs to include several fixes including the bug reported (by Zed and someone else I believe, sorry for the non-attribution) with IE''s \b instead of b rule for deflate. I also added some success stories from Martins, Phillip Hallstrom, and Jens Kraemer -- and the REMOTE_USER pass instructions from Jon

This might not be a mongrel question so much as an IIS question, and if so, my apologies. I''m needing to switch a (ASP.NET) web application that''s running behind a firewall appliance on IIS on port 8443 under SSL to a rails web application -- a mongrel instance (and perhaps later apache or lighttpd with new mod_core_prox in front of mongrel) on a different server. I remember

Hi BackgrounDRber''s, I''m helping Obie Fernandez write a chapter on Background Processing in his upcoming Pro Rails book, and wanted to see if I could run it past the group. Any input is appreciated. See attached (word doc, owch)! p.s. thanks Ezra skaar, and File.read(CONTRIBUTORS).collect Cheers, -- Charles Brian Quinn self-promotion: www.seebq.com highgroove studios:

committing won''t push to production -- you have tested I assume locally? localhost:3000 shows your changes? if so, I can simply go on to the server where it is deployed and issue: svn export (or svn update) and restart the application for changes to actually propagate. svn log shows your commit, that is all well and good: SeeBQ-MacBook:~/rails_apps/atlrug.org cbq$ svn update U

I know we already mentioned this before on the list but I couldn''t find it in the archives. Is there a way to differentiate the versions for ruby/mswin32 so that I could run a command like: # sudo gem install mongrel --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/ --include-dependencies --version 1.0 and have it not prompt me like this: Select which gem to install for your platform

I''m building my first Filter and I''m running into an issue with Ferret::Index::IndexReader#term_docs. As I understand it, index_reader.term_docs should return a term-document enumerator for the entire index: index_reader.term_docs => empty set However, I''m getting an empty set. Interestingly enough, the following: index_reader.term_docs_for(:name,

I''ve seen a couple of workarounds on the mailing list related to expiring cached fragments inside of models, but nothing too clean. Anybody have any suggestions for handling this at the model-level? I have an application is updated outside of the Rails controllers, so I can''t use a Sweeper. The 2 methods I''ve seen: a. Use a callback to generate an HTTP post on a

I''ve been hunting the web and reading the mailing lists all day but I''m not finding any guidance on this problem. When I try to talk to my mongrel it simply responds with NOT FOUND and nothing else. I can''t find anything on google because this has to be the second most commond phrase in existence. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Chuck Vose

Ok, a refinement of the question I asked yesterday (If there were any replies from yesterday I don''t have access to them here .. sorry if I''m duplicating anybody''s words here). How can one host multiple domains with mongrel? Assuming you are mass vhosting and you also want the performance benefits of using mongrel ... As far as I can tell, one could set up a

Apologizes in advance if this sounds rather dense, but I want to make sure I''m understanding everything correctly. We''re in the process of migrating from Apache2.0/FastCGI to Apache2.0+mongrel (why not 2.2? that story is too long and too uninteresting to recount here, but I will tell you that it involves RHEL and only using RHN rpms). The init script that comes with mongrel

Howdy, I am using the ''default'' Apache 2.2 mod_rewrite rules suggested from the Web site and they are working. One thing related to static (non cluster directed) resources: If I have a directory in public called ''static'', if I request it as follows: http://www.domain.com/static/ - then it works If I request it as: http://www.domain.com/static - then it

I have an application I''m working on which allows me to upload files. The files are stored somewhere in the public directory so that they can be accessed directly. When I deploy an update with Capistrano, I ''lose'' the files because of the current symlink points to the new checked out version. Before I start working on a solution, has anyone else already solved this

Im trying to send mails from a backgroundrb worker and it seems like ActionView cant find my template. same code works as a rake task. here my worker: class StatusMailWorker < BackgrounDRb::Rails repeat 1.minutes # <-- hehe! def do_work(args) [...blah...] NotificationMailer.create_daily_report(users, rep, items) end end end its throwing the following error: No

I have a small intranet app with only 20 or so users. I''m currently using lighttpd w/ssl for production and mongrel for dev. I don''t think Mongrel supports ssl, but what is the easiest front-end to put in front of it? Pound? Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century

Hi all, I''m trying to create a worker to send a mail to all the users in my db. Right now I''m doing the tests, this is the code in my worker (Masivo is the ActionMailer subclass): def do_work(args) @progress = 0 @logger.info("MAILER: starting job") records = Record.find(:all) total = records.size records.each_with_index do |record, idx|

Hi, I am using backgroundrb to create a automated system of typo blogs.So, users can create new typo applications using web interface and all that jazz. Now..its working perfectly except one minor glitch. Since latest version of typo has a command called "typo", i simply use that command to install new typo app.And it works. def do_work(args) DIR =

Hey y''all: I''ve added some new stuff to mongrel_cluster. Give it try and let me know if it works for you. * Added ''--clean'' to cluster::start to force removal of the pidfile before trying to start the cluster member. This is useful for recovering from unexpected process death. * Added ''--only PORT'' to cluster::* to support running a
