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

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

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/]

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

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 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 everyone, Recently, I''ve been reading about different deployment environments for rails and mongrel. One configuration I''ve started seeing is apache -> pen -> mongrel cluster. See http://errtheblog.com/post/35 as an example. Can someone explain to me the benefit of using Apache and Pen as opposed to either using apache as a load balancer or pen by itself?

I am using mongrel_cluster with mod_proxy_balancer and would like to enable compression (assuming it improves throughtput) and limit file size upload. I configured mod_deflate and LimitRequestSize in Apache, but in my trials looks like the proxied calls bypass those directives (the conf goes below). Is there a way to get this? -- fxn # Adapt this .example locally, as usual. # # To be

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

Hi- We just finished our app and I tested for performance with httperf. Our setup is browser -> apache2.2-> mod_poxy balancer-> mongrel cluster -> 3 mongrel servers. I have noticed that the total request per second is is about 7.5. When I increase the no of mongrel to 5, it inches up to 8 req/s. My question is how bad or good this number is? We are on a old dell 2400 machine

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

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''m using the instructions from http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/to configure mongrel_cluster with apache mod_proxy_balancer. Everything works fine, except when I try to link to a pdf file to be opened in a new window, it displays the contents of the pdf as text instead of opening it as a pdf document through Acrobat.

I''m trying to do some initial benchmarking of our setup, mainly just to establish baselines. I''m essentially using the process Zed outlines in a previous message: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2006-May/000200.html What I''m running into is that Mongrel appears only half as fast as Apache when serving a small static HTML file. If I then add in Apache with

Hi all, I encounter timeout errors during file uploads in my Rails application. I think the problem may be in the Mongrel configuration. Here is my setup: * Load balancer (Cisco CSM, my provider''s Catalyst 6509) * Apache 2.2.3 with mod_proxy_balancer * Mongrel 0.3.13.3 * Rails 1.1.6 * Ruby 1.8.4 * MySQL 5.0.22 * file_column I host an application in which users may upload medium files

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

I see that the RubyOnRails.com site has migrated to Mongrel with Apache as a front-end proxy. Is that now the/a recommended setup for Rails apps? We''re still using FCGI but I''m always interested to learn more about other folk''s successful deployment choices. Across all of our sites we''re pumping out about 300k pages per day so anything that saves memory or has

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
