Alright, it seems that I am having a bit of a problem with mongrel. My mongrel processes have been crashing pretty often and twice last night. I''m really not sure why, but I really need to fix it. I am running 0.3.13.3. Here is the mongrel.log file. Any ideas, things to look at, etc... is appreciated. Thanks, Carl PS, do all the broken pipe lines mean Mongrel is serving the static

Alright, this time a small announce going out to *just* the mongrel list so I can get some early testing. There''s a new pre-release of 0.3.13.4 out that includes the win32 version of the gem. ** WIN32 USERS SHOULD INSTALL THIS AND TEST.*** ***** BUT NOT ON PRODUCTION SYSTEMS. ****** As usual, you install it with: sudo gem install mongrel --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/

First off: Our clusters are LVS balanced Apache 2.2.3 + mod_proxy_balancer + gem mongrel 0.3.13.3 / mongrel_cluster 0.2 + memcached / gem memcache_client + gem rails 1.1.6 on debian boxen, and a pgcluster backend. On 2 of our deployed clusters, we are getting the "spinning mongrel" problem. As the clusters are very low volume right now, it takes days to collect a spinner, making it

Hello Everyone, This is a short announce to get people to try the 0.3.13.4 pre-release with their applications. This release features a few things that folks have asked for, and a backport of an enhancement from the 0.4 release coming later. The features are: 1) A new --prefix command line option for people who want to mount their rails app at a different base URI. Thanks to Scott for the

Bradley Taylor shot me this *goldmine* of ugly ugly ugly dogs: http://www.sonoma-marinfair.org/uglydogvote.shtml I *have* to use one of these for the Mongrel BUGS Mascot. He''ll go on our bug list page and replace the little beetles on the left. Pick the dog you think best represents a lovable but defective pooch and reply to this with your +1. Let the voting begin! -- Zed A. Shaw

Hi One of the two mongrel processes has died in the middle of the night four times in the past 9 days, and I need help debugging this. Each time the symptoms are the same: * Each time I can restart the process via cap -a restart_app. * Before the restart, there is nothing unusual in production.log or mongrel.log. * During the restart, about 100 repetitions of an error message are generated in

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

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 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.

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! I am new to Mongrel but really like it so far. We''ve been running a single instance for our test server for about a week now. When one of our editors accesses the site, they receive a blank white page in Firefox and/or IE6/Win. In Mongrel logs we see this: Wed Aug 09 16:25:30 PDT 2006: BAD CLIENT (192.168.2.42): Invalid HTTP format, parsing fails. Wed Aug 09 16:25:31 PDT

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

Hi Folks, I''ve been getting reports of people with serious stability problems in Mongrel. These problems go away instantly when they remove ruby-sendfile. If your mongrel starts up saying that you have "sendfile installed" and that it is using it then **you are wrong**. Remove the gem and don''t use it. I''ll be investigating why it doesn''t really

Hey Folks, I''ve been holding off the official 0.3.13 release so that Luis can get the win32 side very nice and clean. We fixed a major problem last night so it''s only a short time before we get it out. Luis is working really hard on it, so just be patient. In the meantime, I''ve been doing a code audit of the Mongrel code as it is now and fixing any little things I

Hello Everyone, This is the official 0.3.13.3 release of Mongrel. Mongrel is now released under the *Ruby license* instead of the LGPL. I''m hoping this increases the adoption of Mongrel even further and hopefully I can start pushing to get Mongrel included in Ruby directly. INSTALL As usual, you install it with your friendly gem install method of choice: gem install mongrel Or

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

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
