similar to: Mongrel 0.3.6 -- Win32 Service/Rails Real Good

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''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

All, I am in need of some help. I''ve run into a problem that I am not able to fix or even troubleshoot. I am trying to run Mongrel as a service on Win32. Basically, my problem is that running Mongrel as a service works fine. Fine until I change the configuration (using service::remove and service::install) to use --prefix. I must have this as I am running multiple webapps and app

Hi folks, Getting much much much closer to the 1.0 release. I have some documentation to work on tonight, and I need to go through the patch queue one more time, but I''ve put up another pre-release for people to test. What this pre-release does is pull together the various patches, monkey patching, and alternatives that make Mongrel either faster or more stable. It is also the start

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

Hello, I am trying to deploy on to OS X Server with capistrano+mongrel+apache2, etc. I''m trying to do a "cap cold_deploy" as recommended here: http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/ I had a devil of a time getting cap to find the mongrel_rails command (which is in /opt/local/bin) on the server. I set the

Hello, Just for further reference in case of someone else want to do the same : I wanted to write a mongrel for a CGI app : [[[ require ''cgi'' require ''foo'' cgi = CGI.new if !cgi[''uri''] || (cgi[''uri''] == '''') Foo.error "URI argument is required" end uri = cgi[''uri''] user =

I''m playing with the mongrel clustering, and am having a problem getting 2 mongrels to start up reliably. This should be a pretty simple cluster, with just 2 instances running. My mongrel config (mongrel_cluster.yml) looks like: cwd: /deployment/installed/myapp/current log_file: log/mongrel.log port: "8000" environment: production address: 127.0.0.1 pid_file:

Hello Everyone, Today''s Mongrel is the first release to sport spiffy pre-built win32 gems. This comes thanks to Wilson Bilkovich donating some Rakefile magic that does the stuff for me. Everyone who uses win32 should send Wilson a thank-you since without him you''d be a victim of my laziness for at least a few more weeks. People who are testing and trying Mongrel out should

This release of Mongrel features a CGIWrapper that actually works. The previous code was complete garbage so this one should fix the problems with sessions, cookies, and content-types people reported previously. There is also now a correctly built Win32 gem created by Luis Lavena. Luis joined the Mongrel project and will be working on the Win32 specific gear needed. His first thing is going to

I am running mongrel-0.3.13.1. Have used lighty and fcgi in the past, and I must say that apache-2.0.x proxying to mongrel is much nicer to deal with! I am having this problem, however. If I am in root''s homedirectory, and start mongrel with this command: --------- mongrel_rails start -a 127.0.0.1 -e production -c /home/www/rails/myapp -l log/mongrel.log --user mongrel --group mongrel

hello list! on the websites win32 howto it says > > CPU Affinity > > Mongrel''s win32 support actually is able to set the CPU affinity of a running Mongrel service. This is pretty neat since it means if you''re running a fancy SMP machine or a dual core that pretends to be SMP, then you can force Mongrel onto one of them and get a nice little boost. > >

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

Hello All I am trying to install 5 mongrel servers against my app. i am using Vista. I found this article on a website.. but am stuck on one point. here are some notes from article: Now enable the needed modules (url rewriting, proxy, proxy_balancer e proxy_http) by editing the httpd.conf file (under c: \Apache_Software_Foundation\Apache2.2\conf, if you installed Apache in its standard path).

Hello Everyone, Just a small announcement for Mongrel 0.3.12.4 which fixes the following things: * Corrects the date format returned so that months are three chars only. * Fixes a problem where DirHandler wasn''t returning Last-Modified and Etag headers for unknown MIME types. * Implements a default mime type for anything it doesn''t know about, and lets you set it via an

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

Ok, this might sound bad... well, actually it is. I''m my rewrite of mongrel_rails_service and provide a uniform set of commands in the line of gem_plugin commands, found a few issues while stopping the service. Thinking that rails (1.1.2) was responsable, tested against my 1.0.0 rails app, both with the same results. Again, reverted to mongrel 0.3.8, when services was working ok, with

Posted this on rubyforge, thought I would put it here at as well. I just started playing around with mongrel. I am currently using apache + fastcgi. I am running a windows box and I followed the directions at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/win32.html. I am able to install the service fine and also start the service from the windows service control panel. However, when I try to start the
