similar to: mongrel, apache, mod_proxy, etc...

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

We have a Centos server with a number of virtual hosts, and my rails app runs under one of those virtual hosts using mongrel_rails. The app lives in /home/mydomain/railsapp where /home/mydomain/railsapp/public is the rails root. It runs under mongrel on port 8008, so to get to it users invoke the url http://www.mydomain.com:8008/ - all is fine to this point. Now I have some users whose

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

Hey guys, Ok, basically I coded a ruby on rails CMS to manage a bunch of media files. I am finding that a lot of people are "hot linking" to these media files and would like to prevent this to save bandwidth. Usually in the past, it hasn''t been a problem, I would add something like the following to my .htaccess file RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

I have been running a proxied mongrel-hosted app behind apache 2.0 (don''t need clustering) for several months, and loving it. In that instance, I am proxying the root of the virtual host to mongrel. I am now in a situation where I need to proxy a directory name to mongrel for a new application, and not having any success. I saw Zed''s mention of the --prefix option in 0.3.13.4,

Hello, I am configuring apache 2.2 to serve my rails app through mongrel at the root of my server. First, I redirect all http traffic to https with the following: ServerName emiliano NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> RedirectPermanent / https://emiliano #this server is only accessed internally </VirtualHost> Inside the <VirtualHost *:443> section, I have the following

I''m trying to set up several different Rails apps on the same domain, each one running Mongrel. After reading all of the documentation, it''s fairly clear how to use subdomains - create several Apache virtual hosts, each of which has a different ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse command to redirect from different ports (ie, 3000, 3100), and then have each Mongrel instance (or

Hi, I''ve got to active project both running on the last Apache 2.2 and on Mongrel 0.3.13.3. One is running perfectly, the other gets (always on the same pages, but not after each request, it seems to be random) a ProxyError every now and then which leads to the mongrel process being called to die and subsequently slowing down the whole web site. I have to restart the mongrel

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''m running Apache 2.0 as a proxy to several Mongrel/Rails apps, so that all of my Mongrel apps can be routed through the single Apache IP address. Apache 2.0 is already in use on the system, which is why I haven''t decided to use Apache 2.2. The problem I''m having is that this setup only works for Rails apps that do not use the public/index.html file as the main

Hi, There''s lots of stuff going on currently with choices of production deployment environments. But I''m not clear on a few things as I need to decide on a production setup where Apache is a given. A recent thread (http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/56590) seemed to favor Apache 2 with mod_fcgid. And this is supported in articles such as:

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

I have apache 1.3 with mod_ssl in front of mongrel/rails. Apache is setup to require client certification, and I''m trying to figure out how to pass the ssl env variables to mongrel. Here is the apache config to proxy requests to mongrel. I haven''t tried to pass env variables like this before so I''m not sure if it''s the apache config I have wrong, if mongrel

I''m in the process of setting up a mongrel cluster at the moment, and I''m running into a bit of an issue. Even worse is that I''m not sure whether this is a mongrel thing, or an Apache thing. While I''m inclined to think that this might be a balancer thing, I decided there was a higher chance hearing back from mongrel-users than from apache-users, so I''d

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/.

This is kind of off topic. I want to put my fancy rails app (myapp) as a subdirectory on my os x server. so my osx server works fine right now as www.mydomain.com. How do I tell apache (1.3 i think) to proxy web requests for a subdirectory /myapp to localhost:3000 where I have mongrel running (Jed, you rock)? I googled, but I don''t know the right words to use, so I''m not

Sorry to bother you with a Rails "newbie"-like question, but I have been tearing my hair out for a couple of days with the deployment scenario I am trying to setup. I use a service provider that supports multiple domains via Virtual Hosts. I have all the software installed and "working". I want to deploy two apps under my domain and have the following in my .conf file:

I am trying to move a Rails application, that uses SSL, from an Apache/FastCGI stack, that works fine, to Apache22 and mongrel working with a single mongrel instance (i.e., not mongrel cluster, yet.) I have a single mongrel instance demonized and working fine on http, on port 3000. Apache/OpenSSL/certs working fine. Here is my test http.conf (deliberately kept as simple as possible):

Hi, After following advice from you good folks, I gave mongrel a try in a cluster design based on the example on the Mongrel website - and it worked right out of the box which is great - and it''s very fast :) I have got a bit stuck though. I have two MS Word files in /public/files/. I can pull back these files no problem but it isn''t sending a mimetype. I think I have two

I was able to find some information about this in the list archives, but it ended with a possible patch being submitted for Mongrel. I tried to follow a few of the instructions, but I''m still kind of stuck, since I''m not sure if what I''m seeing is the proper results. I have an application running on a cluster of mongrel servers, which is behind pen, which in turn is
