I followed the tutorial from Coda Hale[1] on setting up Mongrel/Mongrel_cluster and Apache to move away from my current Apache+FastCGI setup. The mongrels are all working fine, and Apache is proxying all dynamic requests through to the cluster using proxy balance. Strange thing is now, that all my images in public/images aren''t loading at all, if I access them directly I just get a

Hello all, My Rails app is logging some rather strange requests: Processing StoreController#index (for ::1 at 2006-07-03 13:18:48) [GET] Session ID: ed5e2a0e5b4b9290835a969cdd749e6e Parameters: {"action"=>"index", "controller"=>"store"} Completed in 0.08174 (12 reqs/sec) | Rendering: 0.07951 (97%) | DB: 0.00000 (0%) | 200 OK [http://127.0.0.1/]

Hello Folks, After all the troubles people have had with Debian I realize that what I''ve done still isn''t enough for smooth sailing. I''m now going to hold back the 0.3.13.4 release in order to put an end to the Debian problem once and for all. I''m currently planning the following changes: 1) Specific documentation for Debian. Debian will become the only

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

This is important so please read this message very carefully. There is a DoS for Ruby''s cgi.rb that is easily exploitable. The attack involves sending a malformed multipart MIME body in an HTTP request. The full explanation of the attack as well as how to fix it RIGHT NOW is given below. Most of the work was done by Jeremy Kemper and Jamis Buck. They did all the work of building the

Hi ! I''m no expect when it comes time to configure Apache. I just enabled page caching in my Rails app, and am now looking at making Apache serve the cached files instead of calling into Rails. I know Mongrel is able to serve cached files if it finds them, but I''d like Apache to do it. Looking at .htaccess, there is this section: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^$ index.html

Hello, I have a working mongrel cluster and want to use Lighty as the frontend webserver. I want ligthttpd to deliver the static content. So I did gem install sendfile --remote Everything installed. But if I run the tests like gem check sendfile --test --debug i get the following error message: Exception `Errno::ENOSYS'' at ./test/test_sendfile.rb:75 - Function not implemented -

I wrote an x-sendfile thing for the railshandler to get mongrel to catch the response header and stream out files from an application I''m writing but I''m pretty sure that zed said he''d built in x-sendfile somewhere already. I couldn''t find it, could someone lead me to it? Does mongrel work with SSL? If not is anyone interested in having someone write in SSL

Where should the specs go for code in the "lib" directory of a Rails app? I made a folder, "spec/lib/", for storing such specs, and RSpec automatically picks them up when run using "rake spec". Before I go ahead and patch rspec_on_rails/lib/autotest/ rails_rspec.rb so that autotest can monitor these specs I''d like to ask whether this is the

Hi Everyone, I have a small pre-release for Mongrel that will eventually be the 0.3.13.3 release, but it needs some quick testing before I make it official. There''s a bug for only some folks and I need to find out what''s causing it. The bug is that the object_id method gets the signature: def object_id(param) end Which is incredibly evil. Normally this does nothing to

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 all. Like many of us, I''m currently struggling with Rails deployment. Like maybe only a few of us, I''m responsible not for one or two webapps but dozens. Currently, we deploy them as war files using JBoss'' hot deployment feature, which amounts to copying a war file to a directory monitored by JBoss. Undeploying the app amounts to removing it from the directory.

Following errors are taken from monrgrel running in development mode. It complained routes.rb, no such file or directory and then sometimes i get application.rb, no such file or directory.Doesn''t seem correct to me. Though not so often, but even production servers throw these errors sometimes, and i have no special routes setup or something.Its pretty much default one, except few changes

Hi all, I''ve been having problems with the apache 2.2-mod_proxy_balancer- mongrel setup. My setup is: CentOS 4.3 apache 2.2.3 (compiled from source) with mod_proxy_balancer mysql 4.1 ruby 1.8.4 mongrel 0.3.14 (I know I need to update but I think this problem is independent of the mongrel version) mongrel_cluster 0.2.0 rails_machine 0.1.1 I have apache setup as per Coda''s

I''m spending today writing documentation. I''ll be updating quite a few documents, doing some edits, and adding some user contributed docs. If anyone has documentation suggestions, FAQ questions they''d like included, or things they think are old and stale, then let me know. Swing by the Lingr room: http://www.lingr.com/room/3yXhqKbfPy8 And drop me a line if you want

Hello Everyone, Mongrel is due for a 0.3.12 release which will feature some pretty insane goodies for everyone. There''s talk of IOWA support, lots of speed improvements (including sendfile support), a great Configurator which makes configuring Mongrel a snap (especially for framework implementers), and a ton of debugging stuff. WARNING This is a pre-release announcement for the

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

I''m trying to figure out a possible memory leak problem I have in my application. I''ve tested both with mongrel and webrick and the problem remains. So I think it''s not a mongrel problem, but I''m posting here to see if anybody can help me. The RAILS application is quite simple, no special plugins ( no RMagick that has the memory problem ),

Hey all, Here''s a question for everyone: how do you keep your mocks and stubs consistent with your real objects? I''m dipping my toes into the RSpec world, and it''s absolutely delightful (running dozens of tests in less than a second is nice as well), but I''m concerned about my ability to keep the mocks in my specs consistent with the behavior of their

Hello Folks, This is the long awaited (like 2 weeks) 0.3.12 release of Mongrel. This release has received heavier testing than previous releases and supports a whole raft of improvements to existing functionality plus some new stuff. For those not clued in, Mongrel is a web server written in (mostly) Ruby. Check the funny dogs and read the docs about it at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/. The
