similar to: Daemonizing Mongrel

Whilst monitoring my host I noticed that there were three mongrel_rails processes running for a single (non mongrel_clustered) application. Is this normal? Do the processes share the memory top indicates they''re each using? Cheers, -- Dave Murphy (Schwuk) http://schwuk.com

I''ve got my application running under Windows with mongrel perfectly, so it was time to convert it to a service. service::install works fine, but service:start gives me some "One moment, start pending" and then lots of "One moment, stopped". After a bit of digging I found this in the service.log: ** Starting Mongrel in production mode at :3000 ** Starting Rails in

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 all, I just wanted to let you know that I built some Debian (Sarge) packages to allow an apt-get only installation of Mongrel, Ruby and friends. Also contained is an init script that is capable of managing multiple applications. Support for the Pen load balancer is also included. More info can be found there:

I''m getting the following error. Which apt-get install <some missing package> do I need to run? looks like some build tools. Building native extensions. This could take a while... extconf.rb:1:in `require'': no such file to load -- mkmf (LoadError) from extconf.rb:1 ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError) ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

I''ve been mulling over an idea for a book covering Ruby on Rails application deployment. Obvious topics include using Mongrel by itself and with Apache/Lighttpd, load balancers, memcached, and Capistrano. What other topics would you like to see covered in such a book?

Hey guys, Ok, basically I coded a ruby on rails CMS to manage a bunch of media files. I am finding that a lot of people are "hot linking" to these media files and would like to prevent this to save bandwidth. Usually in the past, it hasn''t been a problem, I would add something like the following to my .htaccess file RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

Hey All, I''m setting up some mongrel servers.. can''t get it to daemonize. here is my configurator block:: config = Mongrel::Configurator.new(:host => OPTIONS[:ip]) do #debug(''/gateway.rb'',[:access,:threads]) listener :port => OPTIONS[:port] do uri("/gateway.rb", :handler => RUBYAMF::MongrelServlet.new, :num_processors =>

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

Is anyone using ferret with Mongrel/Mongrel-cluster? The first one or two times I access the ferret index it works fine, but then it throws a write lock error StandardError (: Error occured at <index_rw.c>:703 Error: exception 6 not handled: Could not obtain write lock when trying to write index ): I need to do more testing on this to narrow down the problem/solution but just wanted to

Fyi, here''s a write-up I just posted on deploying Rails with Mongrel(s) behind Pound: http://blog.tupleshop.com/articles/2006/07/08/deploying-rails-with- pound-in-front-of-mongrel-lighttpd-and-apache Rob

Hello All Mongrel Users, For the unintiated, Mongrel is a web server that runs Ruby web applications really fast. Read http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/ to get find out more about it. This is the Iron Mongrel release. It is the result of trying to trash Mongrel until it can''t move and then fixing anything that comes up. The work was done on EastMedia''s and VeriSign''s

I''ve got a problem with timing out a C RFC call. Essentially, I''ve got code that initializes and executes an RFC to a remote server that, depending on the server, could take a significant amount of time to return a response. To minimize end-user impact, I wrapped the call with a timeout of 20 seconds. When I executed a test, it didn''t appear to do anything as the

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:

I''m having no luck trying to daemonize mongrel running a camping server. When mongrel daemonizes, I get: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.0.1/lib/mongrel.rb:723:in `accept'': closed stream (IOError) from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.0.1/lib/mongrel/configurator.rb:293:in `join'' ...

Hello all, I''m new to Mongrel and am very impressed with what I see so far. This thing beats FastCGI hands down, and is even simpler to use than SCGI. Great job Zed! Thanks for all the hard work. I am a bit surprised at the memory usage patterns though. I''m not sure if I''m doing something wrong (most likely I am), or if this is a problem with the app I''m

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

Hello, I am trying to deploy on to OS X Server with capistrano+mongrel+apache2, etc. I''m trying to do a "cap cold_deploy" as recommended here: http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/ I had a devil of a time getting cap to find the mongrel_rails command (which is in /opt/local/bin) on the server.

I''m a mongrel newbie and a linux newbie. I have two CENTOS 5 servers. On server A, my app works fine, with mongrel in daemon mode. On server B, it works fine if I just say mongrel_rails start, but if I add -d, it doesn''t run. Suggestions? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
