similar to: Hosting multiple Rails applications with Mongrel

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

This is kind of off topic. I want to put my fancy rails app (myapp) as a subdirectory on my os x server. so my osx server works fine right now as www.mydomain.com. How do I tell apache (1.3 i think) to proxy web requests for a subdirectory /myapp to localhost:3000 where I have mongrel running (Jed, you rock)? I googled, but I don''t know the right words to use, so I''m not

Hi, There''s lots of stuff going on currently with choices of production deployment environments. But I''m not clear on a few things as I need to decide on a production setup where Apache is a given. A recent thread (http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/56590) seemed to favor Apache 2 with mod_fcgid. And this is supported in articles such as:

We have a Centos server with a number of virtual hosts, and my rails app runs under one of those virtual hosts using mongrel_rails. The app lives in /home/mydomain/railsapp where /home/mydomain/railsapp/public is the rails root. It runs under mongrel on port 8008, so to get to it users invoke the url http://www.mydomain.com:8008/ - all is fine to this point. Now I have some users whose

I''ve moved an application that was running under apache2/fcgi to apache2/mongrel(mod_proxy). under the original setup i had no problems with sessions. now under mongrel, the users are experiencing application errors. after looking at the logs, I am seeing that a piece of code that relies on a session variable is what is causing the error. It seems that the session variable no longer

Is mongrel stable enough to be used in a production environment? Is it stable? If so, which version is recommended?

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 have a small intranet app with only 20 or so users. I''m currently using lighttpd w/ssl for production and mongrel for dev. I don''t think Mongrel supports ssl, but what is the easiest front-end to put in front of it? Pound? Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century

Hi, I''ve got to active project both running on the last Apache 2.2 and on Mongrel 0.3.13.3. One is running perfectly, the other gets (always on the same pages, but not after each request, it seems to be random) a ProxyError every now and then which leads to the mongrel process being called to die and subsequently slowing down the whole web site. I have to restart the mongrel

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

After a lot of work (and much promising) I have written instructions on various methods to deploy Rails applications in a Windows environment. For those of you who are not stuck with Windows, this won''t matter too much to you, but I think this is really useful for those in Windows shops. Topics covered: * Serving Multiple Rails Applications on Windows with Apache and Mongrel * Integrate

Cheers, I''ve just published a blog post about scaling Rails with Apache 2.2, mod_proxy_balancer and Mongrel. This way you do not need another proxy server or load balancer for Mongrel. Just use Apache 2.2 and mod_proxy balancer. http://blog.innerewut.de/articles/2006/04/21/scaling-rails-with-apache-2-2-mod_proxy_balancer-and-mongrel Jonathan -- Jonathan Weiss

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

Hello All, Yet another release of Mongrel proudly pushed out for everyone to review and comment on. This time though, I''ve done up a little website that''s *way* better than the plan Rdoc that used to stand in for the site like a one-legged leper. * http://mongrel.rubyforge.net/ As you should already know, Mongrel is a fast HTTP server and library for Ruby partially written in

Hi, I just installed mod_fcgid on my apache2 server. When I try to load my application I get an "Application error - Rails application failed ..." message. In my Apache2 error-log it says: Premature end of script headers dispatch.fcgi mod_fcgid process /data/www/app/dispacth.fcgi exit (communication error), terminated by calling exit(), return code 1 Any help with this would be

I have an action which requests another URL from the same site (for testing purposes), but it keeps timing out. If I use an off-site URL, the action works fine. I also notice that I''m only able to request one page at a time from my server - the rest just spin until the previous requests complete. Is this some setting in Lighty, Mongrel, or my browser (Firefox - I played around with

I''m looking for an easy way to have mongrel only serve dynamic railscontent, while letting Apache serve non-Rails content. Unfortunately,it seems that you have to segregate the static content in its ownfolder. That was also the case with the SCGI runner. I used thetrick outlined athttp://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails/23347 to managethis. I was curious if a similar

I installed mod_fcgid yesterday. It works great for my Rails app. But in my fastcgi.crash.log is constantly get this output: [23/May/2006:08:12:07 :: 29040] starting [23/May/2006:08:18:48 :: 29040] asked to terminate immediately [23/May/2006:08:18:48 :: 29040] terminated by explicit exit [23/May/2006:08:22:03 :: 29391] starting It also shows up in the Apache error log. Is this normal? Or should I

Hi, After following advice from you good folks, I gave mongrel a try in a cluster design based on the example on the Mongrel website - and it worked right out of the box which is great - and it''s very fast :) I have got a bit stuck though. I have two MS Word files in /public/files/. I can pull back these files no problem but it isn''t sending a mimetype. I think I have two
