similar to: fcgi_watch update

fcgi_watch is a supplement to (or replacement for) <rails_app>/script/process/reaper. The standard reaper script searches for all processes started with a given pathname using the output from a ps command, and performs an action on them. There are problems with this approach, at least on some shared servers: - The pathname seen from a script is not necessarily the same as the

Im trying to get a new app up on dreamhost. What fun :/ Id like to try out the ''frao_handler'' which just keeps dreamhost from automatically killing my fcgi processes. But Im also worried about things getting out of hand. I seem to remember that captures in views can cause problems with fcgi (I might just be making that up????), and I do have few in my app. And well Im

Hi, i''m striving to capistranize a foo app on DH. Everything is hosted on DH to simplify a bit : - svn repository (http access) - the application - the DB I used the recipe of Jamis Buck modified by Geoffrey Grosenbach which you can find here : http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel_dreamhost I did the least modifications possible. As recommended. 1) When I launch the

Hello! I am testing rails on DreamHost. I believe it''s running on apache. In development mode, it ran very slowly. So I changed it into production mode and switched to fcgi. It''s very fast now. But the problem is that if I add actions to a controller, it''s not applied. I know that in production mode, I need to restart web server. But I don''t control the web

Hi, I''m deploying to a prod linux server via Capistrano, but the last step, running the reaper, won''t complete. Ruby is stored in /usr/local/bin on the server, and I''m deploying from winxp. $ ssh mcalogin@lx07 Password: mcalogin@LX07:~> env | grep "^PATH" PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/b in:/opt/

When I try to do a deployment with Capistrano I get the error "No such file to load -- pathname" when Cap tries to execute reaper. Any ideas what''s causing this or how I can troubleshoot it?

Hi there, I have been running the reaper on dreamhost and I''m not sure it is actually restarting the processes will the reaper create new processes? because all the PID''s are the same before and after I run the reaper Restarting [1344] ruby dispatch.fcgi Restarting [10172] ruby dispatch.fcgi Restarting [21592] ruby dispatch.fcgi Restarting [4931] ruby dispatch.fcgi Restarting

Hello, I''m trying to restart my application fastcgi processes using reaper. But I get the following error: $sudo -u www ./script/process/reaper Couldn''t find any process matching: /var/www/example/200605200000/public/dispatch.fcgi The problem is that it should not look for 20060520000 but for current which is a symbolic link pointing to 200605200000. I did the

I need to be able to restart my server based on a specific database change. I''ve been trying a call to system("script/process/reaper -a graceful -d dispatch.fcgi") but that raises a transaction error which rolls back the save. I wasn''t aware that after_save would rollback. That''s potentially useful but pretty much not right now. Here''s my code: def

Hi I''ve been using Capistrano to deploy my application for around 3 months now, and in the last week or so the reaper part of the restart/deploy tasks is failing with the following message: executing task restart * executing "/home/user/myapp/current/script/process/reaper --dispatcher=dispatch.fcgi" servers: ["myapp.com"] [myapp.com] executing command **

I''ve looked through the archive to see if anyone else has encountered this, but didn''t find anything. The short version is, when I use cap deploy (and thus reaper -a restart implicitly), my app stops responding. I''ve verified that using reaper in graceful, reload and exit modes works as intended. The weird thing is, I watch the logs and see that my request

Is anybody getting acceptable performance with a Rails application on Dreamhost? By this, I mean response times no greater than 3 seconds, and no large numbers of FCGI processes that you have to kill manually. If so, how? I''ve ended up running a constant ping script (once every ten minutes), and still have to kill some number of excess dispatch.fcgi processes every day. Along with

hey all, So, we''ve been trying to get a nice stable config running for deployment with SwitchTower, spinner spawner and reaper, and I have to say, they are, as it says in the title, teh suxx0r. <warning>I''m annoyed, and wrote this while annoyed</warning> ;) The problems are rife: 1. Because lighttpd has no control over the fcgis, the restart process is

Hello, I really can't say if it's rails or fastcgi related, but sometimes rails is not responding.

Hi, all: I try to configure rails application on apache2 on fedora box without using virtual host. I can''t make it run correctly after following some ''hints'' from the web. Following is what I have done: - Apache2 already run well; - mod_fcgid installed by source; - ruby fcgi installed by source; - test ok using some sample test.fcgi I guessed something wrong with

Hi Ezra, Thanks for the great work on BackgrounDRb. I have come across a couple of problems. 1. I wanted to define a simple class in the worker file to wrap up and pass back some data to my controller. It seems that if I create the class either inside or outside of my worker class (in the same file) it gets wrapper by a DRb::DRbUknown object and therefore cannot be accessed from my controller.

To clarify, I am one of the REAPER developers. To say that FLAC itself is not broken is sort of meaningless--FLAC itself is just a specification. So yes, it is just libFLAC that is broken. I have spent QUITE a bit of time trying to sort out why it fails on 24 bit mode.. If there are some specific alignment requirements of samples, please point me to the documentation of them, but we have

Hi Justin, I am using flac on the Mac OS X command-line with AIFF input files. In fact, you can use my Mac installer for flac to get everything you need for working 24-bit files in FLAC. You can also build flac from the open-source project to get the same thing. It sounds like you're using libFLAC, and the REAPER programmers are unable to get it working with 24-bit. Have you tried

psitsNOT ("Photoshop it''s NOT!") is an AJAX powered image editor for Rails. Although it doesn''t pretend to be feature-rich, psitsNOT lets you rotate and crop; adjust brightness, contrast, and color balance; then reduce grain, enhance color contrast, sharpen, and set the final size of an image. It does a great job at enhancing digital photos for display on the web.
