similar to: mongrel vs. scgi

Hi, I kept getting a very weird question about Mongrel (http://mongrel.rubyforge.org) and SCGI that I think really needs to be cleared up: ** Mongrel is not SCGI and will never need, use, require, or interact with SCGI (unless someone wants to write the handler for it). ** For some reason people have been under the impression that Mongrel actually uses or interacts with my other project SCGI

All of the documentation for scgi_ctrl says to run it from your Rails app directory, and I can''t get it to run from a single command line like you would in a system startup script. I''ve tried: scgi_ctrl -c /www/myapp/config/scgi.yaml start ...but that just errors out unless I run it from within the root of my rails app (/www/myapp). -- Posted via

Hello Rails Folks, This is just a quick announcement to let people know that SCGI Rails Runner now has a RubyForge project at: http://rubyforge.org/projects/scgi/ There''s already a few bug and feature requests there and I''ll be quickly putting more docs online as well as a new release shortly. The latest source is checked into subversion if you are interested in

Yeah I just noticed that the latest mongrel gem for win32 doesn''t have the proper dependency for ''daemons''. This of course causes the require to fail. Any chance at getting this fixed for future gems? :) Thanks Josh Ferguson

Hello Folks, This is the big release of Mongrel that''s been in the works for a while now (well, like a week). It is chock full of changes and features, but mostly it syncs up the Win32 side of things, and validates that Edge Rails works without problems. It also features a more extensive and useful example of the GemPlugins called mongrel_config. First the usual stuff for people

160,000 pages 99% static, only minor stuff done in rail (search, contact us, etc.) windows server 2003 Ror 1.0 Currently 30K Hits /day on IIS. Apache or Lighttp? Fast_CGI seems kinda slow with a 2003/Apache configuration. The only thing I''ll get rid of for sure is IIS. -Cedric -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

i had been trying for weeks to get fcgi to play right with apache. i finally got it working, but it''s far from stable. it was recommended to me that i should try using SCGI and that it is much easier to set up. being new to this stuff though, i''m not sure if there''s a lack of documentation or if there are some things that are just assumed and not known by a noob

I really like the idea of using Mongrel. But reading the FAQ, I noticed something that might be an issue. It stated: "Ruby on Rails is not thread safe so there is a synchronized block around the calls to Dispatcher.dispatch. This means that everything is threaded right before and right after Rails runs. While Rails is running there is only one controller in operation at a time." So

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

is there a way to determine how best to determine the number of mongrel processes to start? Right now i am running 2 in production but I see some people run about 8 or so. What is the cutoff and determening factor for this ? thanks adam -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Ok, I have checked in the first draft of rails win32 service into examples mongrel_rails_service is the controller, and the _svc script is actually the service. The controller uses Mongrel Commands as requested by Zed, but the service was simplified for debugging purposes, later will merge and refactor both files. The environment defaults to production, so if wanted to run it on other, you must

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

Hello all, I''m attempting to test/tune a mongrel cluster according to the tuning instructions on the mongrel site (using httperf). Anecdotally, the site itself ''feels'' snappy, but testing it with httperf reveals what appears to be terrible throughput. I''m kind of at a loss to describe the results, and was hoping someone could verify that I''m testing

Hi, Thanks Zed - this is very interesting. One item in particular caught my eye: Does anyone on this list have any comments or validation that Rails 1.2.1 is 2-4 times as slow as Rails 1.1.6? Topfunky provided a link that purports what looks like really horrible performance and memory characteristics for Rails 1.2.1, even v. 1.1.6:

Hi all, My environment is ruby-1.8.4, rails 1.2.2, mongrel 1.0.1, linux 2.6. Now, i have a problem on memory leaks with mongrel. My site is running 5 mongrel processes on a 2G RAM machine, the memory of each process grows from about 20M to about 250M, but it never recover to the initial 20M, so i had to restart the mongrel processes once per day. The load is about 1M hits per day. Waiting for

I tried benchmarking the same site behind an NGINX proxy with both fastcgi and mongrel, and for some reason mongrel is performing pretty poorly in comparison. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Here''s my benchmarks for 1 fcgi: Server Software: nginx/0.4.0 Server Hostname: eship.com.br Server Port: 80 Document Path: / Document Length: 95

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

<% for demand in @demands %> <% cache(:action => ''list'',:part => article.id) do -%> <%= render :partial => ''article''} %> <% end %> <% end %> Under webrick,the time that list rendering costs will be very soon,but under apache2.2+mongrel_cluster, the rendering still takes a long time- which occupies about 95% of the

Hi, I am using a railsapp to call an external app and print some barcode-labels. My problem is, after a while there seems to be a timeout. Then I need to stop the Mongrel-Server and restart it. Below you can see the error message, when i stop the server. Has somebody seen this before? Greetings, Oli C:\etikett>mongrel_rails start -d -e production ** WARNING: Win32 does not support daemon

Hi, I''m implementing a "digg-like" page, that once you digg. The score for each item will dynamically reflect your current action +1 . I am not sure what''s In the controller I have an action responsible for increase of the score.It has a corresponding rjs in view. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- def arouse
