similar to: What would the ideal server setup be?

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

So I''ve sort of come to the conclusion that if I wanna get stuff done, I need to either A) Find some dang money and pay people to do it or B) Do it myself. I''m opting for B. Soooo...now I''ve got some programming/technologies to learn. I''m self-employed and I can afford to take a month (or 2) off to totally immerse myself in this and learn how to do it.

I''m trying to get the id of the previous row prior to what would be input and then rename an uploaded image to that row number. So say the previous row was 19 and the image in that row was named 19.jpg, I''m wanting to name the next uploaded image as 20.jpg since the row that would be added then would be 20. Right now I''ve just got: @new_tutorial =

Hi Everyone, I was setting up Lighty+Fcgi on our server for last *couple* ( read zillion ) of hours. I had posted my problems in my previous email. But all in vain.. So, for time being, I switched to Mongrel. And the performance seemed quite good. This is the first time ever I''m using mongrel ( Awesome stuff ZedShaw..Thanks! ). I''m wondering if there are many people around

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

I am attempting to get our RSA SecurID tokens working in CentOS: http://www.rsa.com/node.aspx?id=1177 Has anyone had any experience with this? I know CentOS is not supported but one would think that it could be easily implemented... Here's the error I'm receiving: May 13 10:26:21 sshd[1662]: @(#)RSA Authentication Agent 5.3 for PAM [263] May 13 10:26:21 sshd[1662]: Entered

Finally! I''ve released Mongrel 0.3.13 OFFICIALLY to the public for better or worse. This release is pretty huge compared to previous releases. It''s got oodles of fixes, design improvements, hosting enhancements, win32 changes, and the release even works with the latest cygwin. Read all about it at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/news.html GETTING 0.3.13 Most people do this:

Is it possible to define variable at this level. I need to pass the monit config file name ( sometimes its monitrc sometimes in not ). Here is what I have. # /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp node basenode { include postgresql include monit include wiki include apace } node ''freebeerontuesdays.com'' inherits basenode { } -- You received this message because you are

I''ve got a RoR app that will be going to production soon (in the next month or so) and would like to get some feedback on what kind of web server setup people have had good luck with. I''m looking for something that is: 1. Stable 2. Easy to setup 3. Secure (sorry but Windows is ruled out here) My deployment will either be on Fedora Core 5 or possible Mac OS X Server.

Yo Zed, Just curious -- what do you think of the LiteSpeed server? Is it better than Lighty? Does it (gasp!) also serve Rails apps like Mongrel? I think I read that LiteSpeed doesn''t have proxying support. Thanks, Joe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

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

Hi all, Ruby 1.8.4 Rails 1.1.2 Mongrel 0.3.12 I''m seeing this output from the Mongrel server: Client closed socket requesting file C:/eclipse/workspace/dslscheduler/public/javascripts/prototype.js: Invalid argument It seems to be harmless, but I''m curious as to what''s causing it. Any ideas? Thanks, Dan

Hi everyone, I am a complete newbie to rsync. Last year I built and setup my own web server based on an old Intel PII box running at 333Mhz. There is plenty of RAM and HD space, but the site is now growing apace. A few weeks ago while upgrading my office equipment I set aside another box running an AMD Athlon at 1.1GHz. Still plenty of RAM and drive space. Both systems are setup us as servers

Right now you can use either Pens/Balance/Pound to put in front of some Mongrels and it works really good (easy to setup too!). I got to thinking, would it be possible to mimic what Pens/Balance/Pound does in pure Ruby (yeah, I know the answer is yes)? I guess I''m looking for a starting point. Does one simply write an HTTP listener that then redirects the calls to Mongrel? Is

I know that Mongrel is a web server that hosts rails applications. But i don''t understand what part Lighttpd (or Apache) has in the setup. I know that you can use Mongrel on its own. What does Lighttpd improve on? Thanks, Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Happy RailsDay! While everyone else was out having fun with RailsDay I spent my time wisely and wrote up tons of documentation for Mongrel and cleaned out some of the docs I''ll never write anyway. I also took the time to apply some nice patches from Jonas Pfenniger for easily setting up redirects in Mongrel. Some of the highlighted documents people will be interested in are: *

Hi, Love Rails... I''m looking for a Production Quality Server that brings the same ease of use as Rails does to web development. I''ve tried TextDrive, and never got it to work. I''m sure there are good reasons why it didn''t work but they are beyond me. I''ve contacted tech support there several times, and it seems that there are so many setups that

I have categories and sub-categories in a table called "categories". Every row has a "parent" field to note if the entry is the sub-category of another (never goes deeper than 1 level). So there might be something like this: id | name | parent 1 Dog 0 2 Pug 1 3 Siamese 5 4 Shih Tzu 1 5 Cat 0 6 Wiener Dog 1 7 Persian

Not sure if it is just my configuration but building the RPM on Centos x86_64 fails. Also not sure if this is to be fixed in the Makefile or in the configure. The rpm compile proceeds apace until the build reaches the %files section. Here it uses the _libdir directive to look for the libraries that have just been compiled. However in an x86_64 environment the _libdir directive points to lib64

I want to have a field in model, which I''m not storing in a database. And I want to do something like the following in the model code : validates_format_of :field_NOT_in_db, :with => session[:field] How can I do it ? Thanks, Pratik -- rm -rf / 2>/dev/null - http://null.in
