similar to: Broken win32 service support for lastest mongrels.

Hi all, I''ve forwarded this from the Mongrel mailing list to see if anyone has any thoughts. In summary, Luis is hitting broken pipe errors on occasion when he tries to stop a service. In a later email Luis mentions that simply ignoring them might not always be the best idea, since sometimes the service seems to no longer respond, even though it still appears to be running fine. Dan

This patch: - adds --prefix option to service::install in mongrel-service plugin - fixes bug with config values merging in the service - enables gemplugins in the service. Questions: - why the load_plugins command was commented out? It seems working for me. - why bin/mongrel_rails_service and bin/mongrel_rails_svc still in the main package? - a lot of code is duplicated in both versions

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

Hello list, In my quest to get Mongrel working as service for win32, found some problems with win32/service that make it impossible to solve. Attached is the simplest service script I could do with ruby, which depends on win32/service. I found that doing anything complex in service_stop (killing threads, doing file handling, even sleeping for 0.25 seconds). crash the service with backtraces (of

Hello list! I have mongrel service 0.1.0 working on my current production machine. Upgrading to a new server and also moving to mongrel service 0.3.1 has not worked yet. I am hoping someone will have an idea as to why. I have mongrel installed properly (I think): C:\rails\igacc>gem list --local *** LOCAL GEMS *** ... mongrel (1.0.1) A small fast HTTP library and server that runs

Hey Luis, Just implemented the first cut at a graceful stop setup. It seems to mostly work except for a few hicups here and there which I''ll test out. I''ve tested this under OSX and will test on the other platforms soon. To use it take a look at the examples/simpletest.rb and see how I setup an "INT" handler to call HttpServer.stop. Hopefully this will help with

Hello Mongrel Users! This is my first post! Is there an expected release date for the fixed version of mongrel_service that will resolve the missing service::start command? I would love to use the much improved features of the new mongrel_service, but I haven''t been able to yet. I haven''t figured out how to follow Zed''s advice on a previous thread to just use the

Hi folks, For the past weeks I have been working in solve the problems with mongrel_service and its *crazy* behavior related to standard mongrel_rails. Job made this more slow than usual, but here we are: a beta release. * What''s New? - This version of mongrel_service replaces mongrel_service ruby script with a binary, pre-built executable coded using ServiceFB framework [1] in

Hey, I did some pre-compiled gems for both Mongrel and win32 service, wrote some quick instructions, and threw everything onto a (Mongrel hosted) temp site. Please go hit: http://zedshaw.homelinux.org:3000/files/win32_howto.html And give the instructions a shot. Luis should have the stuff moved around and then we''ll have a nice clean install and set of instructions for all this. Any

Hello Folks, This release of Mongrel should make the win32 folks go crazy. Thanks to Luis Lavena it supports a full service system for installing any Rails app as a service. This lets you start your rails apps from either the command line or the Service console. Stopping is still a bit problematic but we hope to have that solved in the next release. You win32 folks should probably send Luis

Hi all, I wrote a little echo client to run as a service. I have a couple of problems with this. First, any time I try to define anything in "initialize", the service fails to start. Any idea why? Also, this service runs for a while, then just quits for no reason that I can see. The Event Log merely says, "The Abba service terminated unexpectedly". Any ideas on

Hello Windows Users! I have finally got my new computer with it''s win32 build working and have just done the first pre-release for 0.3.13 that has win32 support. *** All win32 users should try to grab the pre-release and tell me if it works. *** You can install it with: $ gem install mongrel --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/ >From EITHER win32 or any other platform

Hi folks, I''ve been working on the plugins system this weekend and I think I''ve nailed it down. The system will basically be able to load gems that are configured right to be plugins. It''ll do it fairly dynamically and shouldn''t require any configuration from the end user other than to install the gem. Doing this though will involve a bit of surgery on the

I''ve upgraded from version 0.3.13.3 to 1.0.1 (along with dependencies). I can see service::install and service::remove commands, but not service::start and service::stop. Moreover, after installing the service with service::install, the service shows up on the list in Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services, but fails to start from there. 1. Unless the documentation on the website

Hi there I have a rails app that I want to run on a Win 2k server running Mongrel. I''ve downloaded the latest version and the win32-service gem and can run it with the mongrel_rails start -d command When I try to start the same app installed as a service I get the following error: "There was a problem starting the service: The service did not respond to the start or control

Hi All I am using version 0.3.13.3 and since there is no logging support for win32 application. I was wondering if it was possible to get any kind of logging at all. I have tried to these two options 1. Stream redirection using "mongrel_rails start -c C:/myspace/snapshot -p 4111 -t 70 -e production -P log/mongrel-1.pid > C:\temp\mongrel-1.log" The console print the output stream

Dear Mongrels, The same questions keep coming up over and over on the list, which is ok, but not really optimal. If we added a wiki to the Mongrel site to handle FAQs, what wiki should it be? Required features would be: * Spam protection * Doesn''t look shitty I would probably spring for Trac (and also migrate the bugtracker) if noone else has opinions, but I''m sure some of

Hi, I have read many articles on the net today about configuring Ruby on Rails on a Windows server. But there doesn''t seem to a one solution for all on how to configure a new Ruby on Rails server. So I can use some advise with this. I am using a Windows 2003 server and don''t get many request a day. But most of the request are quite heavy. The main focus is on optimizing the
