Whilst monitoring my host I noticed that there were three mongrel_rails processes running for a single (non mongrel_clustered) application. Is this normal? Do the processes share the memory top indicates they''re each using? Cheers, -- Dave Murphy (Schwuk) http://schwuk.com

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

I would like first to introduce my self to the community. I am Steve Beyer and I am interested in learning Ruby, ROR, and how to set up a production server. I am going to use OSX for my client/developement system but I would like to get some advice on what operating system you would recommend for a production server. I want to use Mongrel to start and then move up the ladder as my

Hi folks, just wanted to let you know that I''ve updated the Mongrel Debian/Sarge packages. please see that blog post [1] for install instructions. If you already got them installed before, updating should be as easy as apt-get update apt-get upgrade btw: Zed, great work :-) cheers, Jens [1] http://www.jkraemer.net/2006/7/7/mongrel-apache-and-rails-on-debian-sarge -- webit!

Apologies for the formatting, but this is the error I get when I try to start up mongrel. The app does work under webrick, so I''m not real sure what''s going on here. Thanks for any insight into what''s going on. -j ** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.13.3/lib/mongrel.rb:666:in `register'': undefined method

I''ve been trying to track down the culprit of erratic behaviour and crashes on my production server (which is split into a number of Xen instances), so set up a staging server so that I could really try to get to the bottom of it. The staging server (also split with Xen) is set up pretty much identically as far as the mongrel_cluster server is concerned (the production box has two

Hey guys, Ok, basically I coded a ruby on rails CMS to manage a bunch of media files. I am finding that a lot of people are "hot linking" to these media files and would like to prevent this to save bandwidth. Usually in the past, it hasn''t been a problem, I would add something like the following to my .htaccess file RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

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

Hello all, I''m new to Mongrel and am very impressed with what I see so far. This thing beats FastCGI hands down, and is even simpler to use than SCGI. Great job Zed! Thanks for all the hard work. I am a bit surprised at the memory usage patterns though. I''m not sure if I''m doing something wrong (most likely I am), or if this is a problem with the app I''m

I''ve been mulling over an idea for a book covering Ruby on Rails application deployment. Obvious topics include using Mongrel by itself and with Apache/Lighttpd, load balancers, memcached, and Capistrano. What other topics would you like to see covered in such a book? Cheers, -- Dave Murphy (Schwuk) http://schwuk.com

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 *, What''s the best way to find out on which port mongrel is running from within Rails? I have a cluster of mongrels behind a balancer (Pen) behind a webserver (Apache). In Rails, request.port return 80 and request.env[''SERVER_PORT''] returns 3000 (the port of Pen) Any ideas? Cheers, Max

Hello. I installed under Ubuntu (Dapper) Park Place. I followed the instructions given at the RedHanded site.

Any news on the Apache Best Practice Deployment instructions? I''m getting ready to set up a production server, and would prefer to use Apache and Mongrel/Cluster. Don''t think I''ll be able to get the latest Apache though. Do I have to proxy through Pound or something to handle multiple mongrel instances? Any pointers? Any help appreciated, Brett

Hey Folks, This is a quick release that fixes a major bug. I forgot to require the timeout library properly in mongrel.rb so people using Mongrel outside of Rails would see pauses. 0.3.3 fixes this all up. The 0.3.3 release also has a small change to the examples/simpletest.rb file with some gzip response using Ruby''s zlib support. Curious what people think about this and whether it

Hi Everyone, This is a small release that fixes a little bug, some of the documentation, and adds the new RedirectHandler code and a @redirect@ call for the mongrel.conf files. It''s fresh so don''t rely on it. Everyone should upgrade with the usual *gem update* command (which tells you it''s "Upgrading...") and tell me how it works. This release fixes: * The

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.
