similar to: Mongrel 0.3.13 Pre-Release -- Win32! Win32!

Hi folks, I''ve been working on the plugins system this weekend and I think I''ve nailed it down. The system will basically be able to load gems that are configured right to be plugins. It''ll do it fairly dynamically and shouldn''t require any configuration from the end user other than to install the gem. Doing this though will involve a bit of surgery on the

Hey, I did some pre-compiled gems for both Mongrel and win32 service, wrote some quick instructions, and threw everything onto a (Mongrel hosted) temp site. Please go hit: http://zedshaw.homelinux.org:3000/files/win32_howto.html And give the instructions a shot. Luis should have the stuff moved around and then we''ll have a nice clean install and set of instructions for all this. Any

Ok, this might sound bad... well, actually it is. I''m my rewrite of mongrel_rails_service and provide a uniform set of commands in the line of gem_plugin commands, found a few issues while stopping the service. Thinking that rails (1.1.2) was responsable, tested against my 1.0.0 rails app, both with the same results. Again, reverted to mongrel 0.3.8, when services was working ok, with

Ok, I have checked in the first draft of rails win32 service into examples mongrel_rails_service is the controller, and the _svc script is actually the service. The controller uses Mongrel Commands as requested by Zed, but the service was simplified for debugging purposes, later will merge and refactor both files. The environment defaults to production, so if wanted to run it on other, you must

Hello Folks, This release of Mongrel should make the win32 folks go crazy. Thanks to Luis Lavena it supports a full service system for installing any Rails app as a service. This lets you start your rails apps from either the command line or the Service console. Stopping is still a bit problematic but we hope to have that solved in the next release. You win32 folks should probably send Luis

Hey Luis, Just implemented the first cut at a graceful stop setup. It seems to mostly work except for a few hicups here and there which I''ll test out. I''ve tested this under OSX and will test on the other platforms soon. To use it take a look at the examples/simpletest.rb and see how I setup an "INT" handler to call HttpServer.stop. Hopefully this will help with

This patch: - adds --prefix option to service::install in mongrel-service plugin - fixes bug with config values merging in the service - enables gemplugins in the service. Questions: - why the load_plugins command was commented out? It seems working for me. - why bin/mongrel_rails_service and bin/mongrel_rails_svc still in the main package? - a lot of code is duplicated in both versions

I''ve upgraded from version 0.3.13.3 to 1.0.1 (along with dependencies). I can see service::install and service::remove commands, but not service::start and service::stop. Moreover, after installing the service with service::install, the service shows up on the list in Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services, but fails to start from there. 1. Unless the documentation on the website

I''m setting up a Rails app for a client that uses Windows. I''m getting this error: c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.18/lib/mongrel/rails.rb: 32: uninitial ized constant Mongrel::HttpHandler (NameError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ custom_require.rb:21:in `re quire'' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.18/bin/

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

Hi Everyone, Just a quick message to say that I''m holding back the 0.3.7 release so I can get this flexible plugin system going that we''ll need for the next step of loading user defined handlers and filters. What I''ve done is completely replaces pluginfactory with an alternative that lets you create simple classes like so: class Stop < Plugin "/commands"

Hey guys, I''m running the mongrel server that comes with rails-1.2rc1 for development on a winxp box, anticipating taking it into production on a win2k3 box in the next few weeks. I''ve had a couple of crashes occur during development that give me pause, however. I made a ticket for the last one here: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/6841 I know, or at least believe, that

Hello Minions! It''s *finally* here. Mongrel 1.0 RC1 for everyone to test, even the win32 folks. I managed to get everything to build on windows, including fastthread, and even cleaned up the "releases source":http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/ so that it should install cleaner. Win32 will have to try and report problems, as it seems rubygems is real finicky on win32.

Hello Everyone, Mongrel is due for a 0.3.12 release which will feature some pretty insane goodies for everyone. There''s talk of IOWA support, lots of speed improvements (including sendfile support), a great Configurator which makes configuring Mongrel a snap (especially for framework implementers), and a ton of debugging stuff. WARNING This is a pre-release announcement for the

Hello Everyone, Today''s Mongrel is the first release to sport spiffy pre-built win32 gems. This comes thanks to Wilson Bilkovich donating some Rakefile magic that does the stuff for me. Everyone who uses win32 should send Wilson a thank-you since without him you''d be a victim of my laziness for at least a few more weeks. People who are testing and trying Mongrel out should

Hello Folks, This is the big release of Mongrel that''s been in the works for a while now (well, like a week). It is chock full of changes and features, but mostly it syncs up the Win32 side of things, and validates that Edge Rails works without problems. It also features a more extensive and useful example of the GemPlugins called mongrel_config. First the usual stuff for people

Just a quick note for a few new features/fixes available on the Mongrel pre-release and a new document that covers nearly all the big features and configurations for Mongrel. First, the document is http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/howto.html and it covers: * All the start command options including the fresh -G option to generate a config for -C. * The format and usage of the MIME type file (-m

Hello Mongrels around the world! Been thinking a way to unify the issue I described in the subject. For those who aren''t aware, mongrel (actually, mongrel_rails) only generate the log file if daemonize was used (-d) That means no log file under windows, due his lack of fork/daemonization capabilities. Now, users that need to run mongrel on windows cannot report and fill the empty

I just ran into an issue with a new mongrel install on Win32. When trying to run mongrel from RadRails 0.7.2 on win32, I got an error while loading that it couldn''t locate mongrel_service. C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require'': no such file to load -- C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel_service-0.3.1/lib/mongrel_service/init.rb

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
