The find_pid method no longer returns a nil by default which causes some breakage in cases where the pid can''t be found since the local variable ''pid'' becomes the entire output of the ''ps'' command. Can you add this return back in so that it behaves the way it did earlier? thanks, eric

Hi all, I am out of my head here... I have a 3 node cluster with 10 mongrels running on each. When I deploy, I break all the mongrels every time. I have tried just about everything. I can restart my mongrels without a hitch manually, it''s only when I use cap deploy. Maybe I am missing something here... so if I can get some help it would be appreciated. The errors are the typical mongrel

Hi all, Forgive me if this has been asked before, but is there a reason mongrel_rails cluster::restart stops all ports and then restarts them again? Wouldn''t it be better to restart each port one-by-one in series so that upstream proxy servers can fail over while the restart is occurring, or am I missing something? Thanks, eden

Hi, I''m calling restart from my Capistrano task. I have this in my deploy.rb file: # until mongrel_cluster updates to cap2... namespace :deploy do task :start, :roles => :app do start_mongrel_cluster end task :stop, :roles => :app do stop_mongrel_cluster end task :restart, :roles => :app do restart_mongrel_cluster end end (What''s the scoop on

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

A couple of questions please: What is the benefit of having more than one Mongrel/Rails instance on the same machine, could one instance not serve as many requests as say three instances? Is Mongrel Cluster a Apache add-in (like mod_*) or a separately running load balancer which runs on a separate port, I could not work it out from the sample Apache config... |# Redirect all non-static

Hi All, Machine A: has Apache 2.2 doing load balancing, also has DB and 8 mongrel processes I''m using mongrel_cluster . Now, I want to run Mongrels on Machine''s B and C (ie Cluster 3 Mongrels in three different machines). Is this possible? If possible then, please describe me the steps required (I''m using windows machines, and already losdt one week :-( ) Best

We have been searching for a Rails deployment architecture which works for us for some time. We''ve recently moved from Apache 1.3 + FastCGI to Apache 2.2 + mod_proxy_balancer + mongrel_cluster, and it''s a significant improvement. But it still exhibits serious performance problems. We have the beginnings of a fix that we would like to share. To illustrate the problem, imagine a

Apologizes in advance if this sounds rather dense, but I want to make sure I''m understanding everything correctly. We''re in the process of migrating from Apache2.0/FastCGI to Apache2.0+mongrel (why not 2.2? that story is too long and too uninteresting to recount here, but I will tell you that it involves RHEL and only using RHN rpms). The init script that comes with mongrel

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,

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

I followed the tutorial from Coda Hale[1] on setting up Mongrel/Mongrel_cluster and Apache to move away from my current Apache+FastCGI setup. The mongrels are all working fine, and Apache is proxying all dynamic requests through to the cluster using proxy balance. Strange thing is now, that all my images in public/images aren''t loading at all, if I access them directly I just get a

I have an Apache 2.2.3 (mod_proxy_balancer) frontend server that does not have mongrel installed. It does proxy requests to several other mongrel-only servers (each running 2 mongrel processes). Each mongrel node has the same rails code-base and it''s working perfectly. However, my question is when I add an upload file form... where is it going to physically put that file? I mean since

I''d like to use Mongrel_cluster with SSL on a green-field application (it can be configured however is best - initially, "ease of setup" is important, but then soon after will be scaling and response time). I''ve read a lot of emails on this topic, and checked out the Mongrel pages, etc, but I''m left with this question of what is recommended: For a

Hi, I am a bit confused about what is the fastest way to run a rails application. I have seen examples which use Apache, mongrel, lighthttpd, fastcgi etc. Is there a correct way to do it? Or is it just a personal choice? Thanks, Keith --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk"

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

I want to restart my Mongrels from crontab periodically to free up memory. I tried this: [admin at mudcrapce ~]$ mongrel_rails cluster::restart -C /var/www/apps/mudcrapce/current/config/mongrel_cluster.yml Restarting 5 Mongrel servers... mongrel_rails restart -P log/mongrel.3040.pid !!! PID file log/mongrel.3040.pid does not exist. Not running? mongrel::restart reported an error. Use

Alright, I have googles and read through the docs on monit I get this error when adding -v starting monit monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support? monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support? Am I missing something here? set daemon 120 set logfile syslog facility log_daemon set mailserver localhost set httpd port 28212

First off: Our clusters are LVS balanced Apache 2.2.3 + mod_proxy_balancer + gem mongrel 0.3.13.3 / mongrel_cluster 0.2 + memcached / gem memcache_client + gem rails 1.1.6 on debian boxen, and a pgcluster backend. On 2 of our deployed clusters, we are getting the "spinning mongrel" problem. As the clusters are very low volume right now, it takes days to collect a spinner, making it

Hi Guys, I hope its ok to post to this list. I have a rails on ubuntu deployment stack which consists of: locally: cap 2.3.0 and all latest deps server side: apache 2.3, mongrel_cluster, mod_proxy and git on the same host. I am connecting to my remote host via ssh with agent and pass phrase. All is good until my first mongrel task, deploy:restart task. I have included the
