similar to: newbie Capistrano question

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

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,

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

When I try to do a deployment with Capistrano I get the error "No such file to load -- pathname" when Cap tries to execute reaper. Any ideas what''s causing this or how I can troubleshoot it? (Output follows.) Thanks. Evan -----BEGIN OUTPUT----- [evans-powerbook:~/Desktop/asktheguys] evan% clear ; rake remote:deploy (in /Users/evan/Desktop/asktheguys) loading

Hi, I''m deploying to a prod linux server via Capistrano, but the last step, running the reaper, won''t complete. Ruby is stored in /usr/local/bin on the server, and I''m deploying from winxp. $ ssh mcalogin@lx07 Password: mcalogin@LX07:~> env | grep "^PATH" PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/b in:/opt/

I''m running capistrano 1.2.0 on Mac OS X 10.4.7. When I''m prompted for passwords, typing is in the clear. Is this a bug or normal?

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 have a real simple app with no database; however, when I try to run my tests I get a traceback somewhere in the fixture.rb file trying to open a connection. Is there a way to turn this off?

Greetings, With all the press concerning the 'almost 1.0' release of vorbis; I see a lot of messages floating around as 'now 1.0, and -soon- it will include joint-stereo, Wavelets, low-bitrate, peeling, etc. etc.' Before I start 'advocating' vorbis and tell everybody what it all can do; is there actually a date or some other planning when all those

Hey All, I just wanted to get other peoples take on problems when running merb in production? Just as Rails used to do, the mongrels tend to get heavy/unresponsive over time so need a good kicking by a watcher daemon like god or monit. However, I have had serious problems getting God to restart the process, as the "merb -k <port>" command doesnt appear to work reliably

hey all, I managed to configure a mongrel+apache2 but now I would like to do a mongrel_cluster. For now I have a sites-available/myapp but when it comes to mongrel_cluster I need to set up myapp.common, myapp.proxy_cluster.conf and myapp.proxy_frontend.conf and I couldn''t find a tutorial that explain where should those file go. is it in conf.d or sites-available/ or else? thanx in

OK I know whats happening. Your while loop completes and calls kill on the worker before your task_progress controller method ever gets called> So the worker is deleted and when you try to access it from rails you get an error because there is no longer a worker at that job key. The kill method is meant to be used within a worker that you fire and forget. If you want to get the

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

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

I have a patch for Capistrano 1.1 - how do I submit it? Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

When I create a task within capistrano.rb I can call it using rake. When I create a task and put it in deploy.rb I can call it. Neither with or without the remote: namespace. Anyone have any insight into why it does not work? John Kopanas

Hello fellow railers, I''m new to the whole RoR thing and I have finished installing and setting everything up on my OSX G4 Powerbook. I followed the step by step instructions at Hivelogic, running lighttpd and everything else. I''m having an issue with Capistrano. I''m following the tutorial at Apple: http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html Everything in

All, I''m setting up a deployment script with Capistrano at the moment, and am running into some trouble when it attempts to pull the code down from the SVN server when I run the deploy task. The SVN server runs over https, and the problem seems to be when I get asked whether I want to accept or reject the certificate. I hit ''p'' to accept the certificate permanently,

This could be entirely my imagination, but it _feels_ like my apps are ever so slightly less responsive after deploying with Capistrano. Is that even possible? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/attachments/20060417/73f30cef/attachment.html
