Zed, Very cool, finally got around to playing with StatusHandler and StatisticsHandler. One thing that was missing that I wanted was insight into _what_ the RailsHandler was working on, and what was queued up while it sat in single-threaded mode -- ie., the current list of requests. W/ the attached mongrel.conf, I hacked the RailsHandler to keep a hash of active requests, and spit that out

This is a super quick announcement for a new Mongrel plugin called mongrel_console. It was inspired by a request from Tobias L?tke who wanted to tail out logs while Mongrel was running. What mongrel_console does is combine the Rails script/console with Mongrel so that you can control a mongrel server while using script/console. Sounds weird but it''s quite awesome for development

Hi, I''m halfway developing a tiny plugin that allows people to scrub flash video files. I''ve got my plugin setup to monitor a directory /movies. Whenever a .flv file is requested within that directory, some stuff should happen, if not, the request should be processed as usual. I don''t know how to do the latter.. require ''mongrel'' require

Hi Folks, I''ve been getting reports of people with serious stability problems in Mongrel. These problems go away instantly when they remove ruby-sendfile. If your mongrel starts up saying that you have "sendfile installed" and that it is using it then **you are wrong**. Remove the gem and don''t use it. I''ll be investigating why it doesn''t really

Hello, I have a working mongrel cluster and want to use Lighty as the frontend webserver. I want ligthttpd to deliver the static content. So I did gem install sendfile --remote Everything installed. But if I run the tests like gem check sendfile --test --debug i get the following error message: Exception `Errno::ENOSYS'' at ./test/test_sendfile.rb:75 - Function not implemented -

Howdy. I''m working on a RoR CMS and need cached pages to all be in public/cache rather than public [in order to set svn:ignore on all the files properly]. I can get page_cache_directory set correctly and the pages are cached in the right place but Mongrel isn''t serving them because it''s only looking for them in public. During development I know I can set -r public/cache

Hello all- Forgive me if this has been discussed before- I searched the archives and didn''t see anything. Anyway, here it goes- There is a lot of talk lately about Comet-based applications- that is, web apps that hold connections to the server open for a very long time, to effectively achieve realtime data push from the server to the browser. Currently, there are a few web

Hi list: I started to make a quick GemPlugin command [ssl::start] that sets up an stunnel before calling the normal [start] command. so $ mongrel_rails ssl:start will do everything that start normally does and configure/setup an stunnel. The question... Obviously this plugin will require stunnel to be installed. What do you think is the best move: 1) nothing, just require that people

Hello Folks, This is the long awaited (like 2 weeks) 0.3.12 release of Mongrel. This release has received heavier testing than previous releases and supports a whole raft of improvements to existing functionality plus some new stuff. For those not clued in, Mongrel is a web server written in (mostly) Ruby. Check the funny dogs and read the docs about it at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/. The

Hi folks, I''d like to run the Mongrel prerelease (0.3.13.4 prerelease) and mongrel_cluster 0.2.1 on my shared host (which doesn''t want to install prerelease software for all to use). I can install the gems in my own directory, and run mongrel 0.3.13.4 with --prefix just fine. However, I think due to the GemPlugin structure, even my new mongrel_rails loads up

mongreleers, This is a hack for adding basic upload progress support to Mongrel. Currently, you can monitor the upload of any POST. I''m sure some work needs to be done to get it functioning with Rails. Save as lib/mongrel/progress. Anyway, here''s how to start Mongrel with it: require ''mongrel'' require ''mongrel/camping'' require

I''m a bit confused about how to get upload progress to work with mongrel.. I''ve installed the mongrel_upload_progress (0.1) gem, but have no idea what to do with it. According to the following page: http://technoweenie.backpackit.com/pub/602283 there''s a patch (mup.diff) which seems like it patches the mongrel_upload_progress plugin The following blog entry makes it

Hello Zed ! I''ve experimented a simple but limited performance tweak in the mongrel rails loader. With the following apache 2.2 mod proxy loadbalancer setup : # Redirect all non-static requests to cluster RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://mongrel_cluster%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L] We can assume that mongrel is called only when the

Hello everyone, Mongrel now has plugins that are based entirely on RubyGems. This feature was so slick that I decided to bust it out into a separate project called GemPlugin (more on that later). What the new plugin system does is makes it so that people can distribute Mongrel plugins as just plain gems, and mongrel will load them on the fly if people install them. There''s no

I followed the tutorial from Coda Hale[1] on setting up Mongrel/Mongrel_cluster and Apache to move away from my current Apache+FastCGI setup. The mongrels are all working fine, and Apache is proxying all dynamic requests through to the cluster using proxy balance. Strange thing is now, that all my images in public/images aren''t loading at all, if I access them directly I just get a

Hello, I am running in to an error trying to run mongrel. The server starts but then trying to access any url in my application throws this error: calling Dispatcher.dispatch uninitialized constant RailsHandler::Dispatcher ./script/../config/../vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:477:in `const_missing''

Following errors are taken from monrgrel running in development mode. It complained routes.rb, no such file or directory and then sometimes i get application.rb, no such file or directory.Doesn''t seem correct to me. Though not so often, but even production servers throw these errors sometimes, and i have no special routes setup or something.Its pretty much default one, except few changes

Hi, I am trying to run Mongrel on win32 to serve an internal rails application. We are accessing legacy data, and some transactions can take 5 to 10 seconds. This is holding up every other request. The -n does not seem to be supported on Win32. Am I missing something, or should I look elsewhere to serve my Rails app on win32? Thanks, Walt -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Hello Everyone, Mongrel is due for a 0.3.12 release which will feature some pretty insane goodies for everyone. There''s talk of IOWA support, lots of speed improvements (including sendfile support), a great Configurator which makes configuring Mongrel a snap (especially for framework implementers), and a ton of debugging stuff. WARNING This is a pre-release announcement for the

This GemPlugin will gzip your HTTP responses from mongrel if the client says that it supports it (eg, most modern browsers). I''ve tested it in IE6, Firefox 1.5 and Firefox 2.0RC3 Install: gem install gzip_filter --source http://edenli.com Configure (assuming rails): cd RAILS_ROOT echo ''uri "/", :handler => plugin("/handlers/gzipfilter")''
