similar to: A rails app server, maybe?

I''ve been developing my rails app in Windows. The app connects to SQL Server database using the sqladapter gem and through ODBC. I know that the recommended platform for production would be Linux. Whether its possible to deploy my app to Linux? If yes, how hard would that be? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk"

Greetings! I could use some advice on which version of BackgrounDrb to use in my current situation. I''ve implemented the initial, single-process multi-threaded version in a previous site, but have no experience with the new version. Current situation is as follows. The application involves personal health information and so has very stringent session management requirements. My

Is Mongrel dead? When I look at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/wiki/News the latest news was from close to a year ago, when last version of Mongrel was released. A look at the tickets shows a rather sad picture with only two developers “evanweaver” and “luislavena” contributing to the bug fixes lately. Please understand that I am not complaining – I just want to know the situation so that I can

Hi y''all; A quick note to announce the release of mongrel_cluster, a gem_plugin for Mongrel. This plugin provides commands for managing multiple Mongrel processes behind a reverse-proxy server and load balancer. To install: gem install mongrel_cluster Configure (use -h to options): mongrel_rails cluster::configure Start: mongrel_rails cluster::start I''ve posted a quick

Here are some notes from the scalability session of last week''s Rails camp. They were entered by another session participant and are posted at: http://www.rubyonrailscamp.com/10%3A15%2Bsession%2B-%2Bscaling The key points from my point of view: - the Ruby VM is sketchy, rather like the Java VM around 1997 - the single threaded nature of Rails dispatch handling means we may incur a

Hey y''all: mongrel_cluster provides management tools for running Mongrel behind a reverse-proxy/load balancer. It is an extraction from Rails Machine, a deployment service and Ruby library that simplifies Rails application deployment. This release fixes bugs and adds a Capistrano task library. Changes: -changed pid file format to include port -only write configuration options

Hello Mongrels, Building on the last messages about Fastthread, can we get a detailed survey of the different ways people are deploying their applications? It will help with near-future Mongrel development. Please include the following things: * Framework, if any (Camping, Merb, Rails, Nitro, Ramaze, IOWA, Rack...) * Mongrel version * Mongrel handlers used (rails, dirhandler, camping,

The recent Rails security issue highlighted a concern I''ve had about Rails deploys; namely, you shouldn''t deploy anything to production that you don''t need there. Rails apps have a number of scripts--potential security holes or DOS targets in this case--along with all the other application code you need. There''s no reason you should have script/server, console,

If this was in the docs, I''ve missed it. How can I have multiple mongrel clusters on a server? All the documentation that I am seeing seems to assume that I am only running one cluster.

Received this link from a regular email blast, it may interest some of you. I guess RoR is starting to gain more traction :-) http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/db2/library/techarticle/dm-0606dumbill/?ca=dnw-723 Cheers Mohit.

Hello Everyone, I need some help related to the below requirements: -> I need to setup production environment without installing Ruby or Rails or other related gems into it. I did accomplish the same using JRuby, bundler and warbler plugin. And deployed the WAR file into Apache Tomcat server. But now I have to do this without JRuby & Apache Tomcat. -> I have to setup Apache with

I''m looking for an easy way to have mongrel only serve dynamic railscontent, while letting Apache serve non-Rails content. Unfortunately,it seems that you have to segregate the static content in its ownfolder. That was also the case with the SCGI runner. I used thetrick outlined athttp://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails/23347 to managethis. I was curious if a similar

Hello Mongrel Fans, After about a Month of busy work, bad computers, moving half my house across the country, and other dramas, I''m finally pushing out the next release of Mongrel. This pre-release has lots of little goodies and the start of some documentation that should get everyone primed for the big "Mongrel 0.4 Enterprisey Edition 1.2" coming real soon now. INSTALLING

I am having issues when using unicorn with a Capistrano deployment. >From what I have been able to understand Capistrano uses a scheme in wich every release is deployed inside the releases directory under a unique name and if the transaction was successful, creates a symlink named current that will point to that release. So I end up with a deployment directory such as:

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

Hi Y''all, Just a quick note announce an update to mongrel_cluster. Changes: - ''mongrel_rails cluster::restart'' now calls ''mongrel_rails stop'' and ''mongrel_rails start''. ''cluster::restart'' now accepts the ''force'' argument instead of ''soft''. - Added ''.conf'' as

Last week I posted a question about monitoring Rails applications. Basically, the java folks at my business cited one of their reasons for sticking with Java is it''s monitoring tools. After picking some ears, I found out that the one we''re looking at most is JBoss Operations Network. And I have to say, it''s pretty neat.

Hello, I''m trying to deploy my application with Capistrano using Mongrel recipes. Since I''ve installed Ruby from source code, mongrel scripts are found in /usr/local/bin. But the recipes can''t find mongrel_rails : "bash: mongrel_rails: command not found". The path of the user account used to deploy is OK. For sure, I can redefine

Apologies in advance if this ignites a war of comflicting opinions.... I''m a few days away from going live with my first RoR application. It is completely database centric and each user will have his own queries so cacheing will not really help. I have a dedicated linux server being built by my hosting provider and I need to tell them which webserver to use. The databse is MySQL

It appears the spawner in Rails 1.2 will do Mongrel clustering. I''m curious what this means for mongrel_cluster. They appear to overlap in features quite a bit. I don''t think the spawner uses a config, so that''s one difference. Will they be different enough? I only ask because mongrel_cluster could, theoretically, be made extinct if the spawner script has all the same
