For some users, request.remote_ip always return nil. According to the RAILS''s help: REMOTE_ADDR is the standard but will fail if the user is behind a proxy. HTTP_CLIENT_IP and/or HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR are set by proxies so check for these before falling back to REMOTE_ADDR. HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR may be a comma- delimited list in the case of multiple chained proxies; the first is the

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

Wondering if anyone''s heard of a php script that will ''forward'' your requests on to, say, a mongrel instance, and return it? Kind of a php fcgi? Thoughts?

If this was in the docs, I''ve missed it. How can I have multiple mongrel clusters on a server? All the documentation that I am seeing seems to assume that I am only running one cluster.

Hi mongrel users! I just posted a bad-ass capistrano file that automates *everything* for setting up an apache2+mod_proxy_balancer and mongrel+mongrel_cluster -- including apache2 setups. It''s based off Coda Hale''s guide and all Bradley''s work at fluxura and RailsMachine (thanks Coda and Bradley!). It''s, well, bad-ass, if I must say so myself. My favorite

I''m using the instructions from http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/to configure mongrel_cluster with apache mod_proxy_balancer. Everything works fine, except when I try to link to a pdf file to be opened in a new window, it displays the contents of the pdf as text instead of opening it as a pdf document through Acrobat.

Hello everyone, I am trying to setup Mongrel to work with Apache on a VPS as part of a mephisto installation. Has anyone done this, and if so how did you edit your conf file to make it work? I used the info found on the mongrel site at: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/apache.html<http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/apache.html> and one time I did get a mephisto splash screen, but it was

Gang- We are getting ready to launch our ROR application; the last item remaining is the deployment platform. For testing, we had used Apache + MOD_FastCGI. I am not that impressed with it; sometimes it has strange effects. For example, when we start the application, for about 5 minutes or so, the app is very unstable and it gets better over time. My questions is .. should I go with (1)

Hi all, I''ve just spent some time going through trying to get mongrel & apache 2.0 working with mod_proxy. I thought I''d share what I''ve found in case someone is going through the same exercise. Of late, I''ve been using mongrel (lovely, btw) to run my rails apps. Since I have a couple of different rails apps running on the machine, I thought it be nice to

Hello list, Some time ago I was looking for apache (as non balanced proxy) + mongrel configurations. Almost everybody seemed to use similar approaches (one of these could be found @ mongrel.rubygorge.org docs) with mod_rewrite. I don''t use proxy_balancer because I don''t need it at the moment (my site has pretty low traffic). This is apache configuration that I''m using

I am using Apache2.2 + Mongrel on my machine. Now I am accessing it over LAN. When I enter http://mymachinename/myapp it opens fine but when I click on any link in my rails app, it replaces mymachinename with localhost (http://localhost/myapp/controller/action) and thus I am unable to access it from remote location.

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

On httpd I use ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse to forward requests to webrick and mongrel. How can I do this same thing using Lighty and Mongrel? Thanks, Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''d like to use Mongrel_cluster with SSL on a green-field application (it can be configured however is best - initially, "ease of setup" is important, but then soon after will be scaling and response time). I''ve read a lot of emails on this topic, and checked out the Mongrel pages, etc, but I''m left with this question of what is recommended: For a

Hi Guys, I know this is slightly off topic, but it''d be great to get some feedback from anyone who''s using mod_proxy on Apache 2.2 to redircet to a rails app on mongrel. Everything has been running fine generally but a few days back we started getting a gap in the performance between the Apache port and the mongrel port. accessing through port 80 was averaging ten times longer

Hello, I have setup mongrel successfully a few times now, but, each time I have used apaceh 2.2 and mod_proxy setup descibed on the mongrel site. However, I need to set up another app in a subdomain. example.com/docserver instead of docserver.example.com. I have tried just adding I have something like: ProxyPass /docserver/ http://example.com:3001/ ProxyPassReverse /docserver/

I''d like to implement output compression in Mongrel (ala Apache''s mod_deflate). I have found a Rails plugin that, with minor modification, works. Is there even an advantage to moving the output compression from the Rails app to a Mongrel handler? Unless, of course, someone knows how to configure mod_proxy_balancer with mod_deflate... == Will Green Web Developer & IT

Hi y''all; A quick note to announce the release of mongrel_cluster, a gem_plugin for Mongrel. This plugin provides commands for managing multiple Mongrel processes behind a reverse-proxy server and load balancer. To install: gem install mongrel_cluster Configure (use -h to options): mongrel_rails cluster::configure Start: mongrel_rails cluster::start I''ve posted a quick

I am using mongrel_cluster with mod_proxy_balancer and would like to enable compression (assuming it improves throughtput) and limit file size upload. I configured mod_deflate and LimitRequestSize in Apache, but in my trials looks like the proxied calls bypass those directives (the conf goes below). Is there a way to get this? -- fxn # Adapt this .example locally, as usual. # # To be
