similar to: Replace Pound/Pens/Balance with Ruby alternative

Is anyone using the setup described at the Rails blog? http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2006/7/3/pound-makes-lighty-and-mongrel- play-nice I''m using it in production, and the only problem I have is the same as people have described in the comments over there, namely that Rails thinks all requests come from localhost. See http://isabont.com/requestinfo for the headers. Any

I know most people use pound, but has anyone tried using ultramonkey as a load balancing solution between a cluster of mongrels and lighttpd?

I''ve got a RoR app that will be going to production soon (in the next month or so) and would like to get some feedback on what kind of web server setup people have had good luck with. I''m looking for something that is: 1. Stable 2. Easy to setup 3. Secure (sorry but Windows is ruled out here) My deployment will either be on Fedora Core 5 or possible Mac OS X Server.

Hello, I noticed that mongrel would work very nicely with something called Pound to get https access to a rails app. However, I think Pound isn''t available for the windows platform? Is there any other nice lightweight load balancer like Pound that I could take a look at to get https with mongrel and rails? Cheers, /Erik -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Hi everyone, Recently, I''ve been reading about different deployment environments for rails and mongrel. One configuration I''ve started seeing is apache -> pen -> mongrel cluster. See http://errtheblog.com/post/35 as an example. Can someone explain to me the benefit of using Apache and Pen as opposed to either using apache as a load balancer or pen by itself?

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 Everyone, I was setting up Lighty+Fcgi on our server for last *couple* ( read zillion ) of hours. I had posted my problems in my previous email. But all in vain.. So, for time being, I switched to Mongrel. And the performance seemed quite good. This is the first time ever I''m using mongrel ( Awesome stuff ZedShaw..Thanks! ). I''m wondering if there are many people around

Does anyone know whether the mongrel upload progress plugin works with nginx? It works fine for my app under pound, but not with nginx. I am using DRb to handle the uploads as detailed at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/upload_progress.html . If I am using pound I can see the uploads with irb -r lib/upload_client.rb , but cannot if I am using nginx. Does anyone know anything more about this

I''ve been evaluating frameworks, technologies, etc. for my company for a little while now. This is what I''m about to conclude for my report: 1. RoR is a good fit for new applications where we can define the DB schema. 2. PHP is a good fit where the DB schema already exists, or the "pieces" needed for the application exist all over the place. (ie: MS SQL Database

Hi all, If you are using Pound / Pen or another load balancer, I believe you should read this: http://blog.teksol.info/articles/2006/08/25/subversion-metadata-exposure-on-mongrel My article refers to Dan Benjamin''s http://hivelogic.com/articles/2006/04/30/preventing_svn_exposure My point is that even though we are preventing Apache from serving anything except a select few file

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

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, I want to install a bunch mongrel servers with an apache in fronthead, all that on OpenBSD. But OpenBSD is released with a homemade Apache 1.3.29 patched by the OpenBSD team. I really want to keep this version of apache and I don''t want to change it to Apache 2.x (because of the security and the license but it''s not the point here). But for having mongrel, it has to be

After reading the digital shortcut and the documentation on the web site I''m confused. Which one should I use? pen, balance or nginx ? I don''t want to use a behemoth like appache and ssl is not needed so it reduces my choice to those three only.... What are the pros and cons of each? I don''t have much money, so the less ressources I use the better it is for me.... As

Hi, I am translating the voice files of voicemail now. I don't know if the POUND and # are the same key in the telephone's keypad. If they are same, how could we understand the following message: %vm-msginstruct.gsm%To hear the next message press 6, to repeat this message press 5, to hear the previous message press 4, to delete or undelete this message press seven, to quite voicemail

Happy RailsDay! While everyone else was out having fun with RailsDay I spent my time wisely and wrote up tons of documentation for Mongrel and cleaned out some of the docs I''ll never write anyway. I also took the time to apply some nice patches from Jonas Pfenniger for easily setting up redirects in Mongrel. Some of the highlighted documents people will be interested in are: *

Hi All, I''m experiencing a problem when using pound with Rails. My set up is I have a machine acting as a load balancer running Pound. This listens on port 80 and directs requests with a particular URL to two backend servers both of which are serving my rails app using mongrel cluster on ports 9000,9001 and 9002. There is a problem with sessions even though I am storing the session data

Hello, I''m experiencing a strange, but very bad behavior with Mongrel 0.3.13.4 and Pound 1.8. Every 6 hours or so one of our nine (not consistent on which one) application servers ( each one running several mongrel processes ) will start leaving lots of socket connections with pound open. This leads to "Too many open files" errors. I''ve set pound to close connections

Im trying to create a custom application via the AGI. I want to authenticate the users that dial in with a userid and pin. However, the number of digits in the PIN and userid are variable, and therefore I need to allow the user to "press enter" by hitting the pound key. How would I accomplish this in the AGI? stream_file doesnt seem to work, since it only allows one digit to be

Apologies in advance if this ignites a war of comflicting opinions.... I''m a few days away from going live with my first RoR application. It is completely database centric and each user will have his own queries so cacheing will not really help. I have a dedicated linux server being built by my hosting provider and I need to tell them which webserver to use. The databse is MySQL
