similar to: which webserver to use in production?

Hi, If you have been using or evaluating LiteSpeed web server + Ruby LSAPI setup for Rails application, please make sure your are using the latest release, Ruby LSAPI 1.9 and LSWS 2.2.2. We have been fixing a few bugs that causes DB connection errors, incompatibilities with WEBrick/Mongrel and ruby process management issues, currently, all bug reported has been addressed in timely manner and

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.

Hi, First, my thanks to Zed for including LiteSpeed in cgi.rb vulnerability report. Appreciated! I just got time to review ruby-lsapi code and test the vulnerability against LiteSpeed. I found that, in our latest ruby-lsapi release 1.11, lsapi_read() function returns Qnil when the end of request body has been reached. So, in theory, LiteSpeed should not be vulnerable to this attack. Our test

I see that the RubyOnRails.com site has migrated to Mongrel with Apache as a front-end proxy. Is that now the/a recommended setup for Rails apps? We''re still using FCGI but I''m always interested to learn more about other folk''s successful deployment choices. Across all of our sites we''re pumping out about 300k pages per day so anything that saves memory or has

I am wanting to one run instance of lighttpd, many many instances of mongrel. I also need ssl but only for one of my sites. I understand that Mongrel does not play with SSL so I am forced to use Lighttpd. I think that lighttpd only handles ssl or non-ssl on any given instance. Is there a way for me to accomplish my goal of one lighttpd with multiple mongrels and the occasional ssl connection? --

I know that Mongrel is a web server that hosts rails applications. But i don''t understand what part Lighttpd (or Apache) has in the setup. I know that you can use Mongrel on its own. What does Lighttpd improve on? Thanks, Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I have created a small :restart task to overwrite the default one: task :restart, :roles => :app do sudo "/etc/init.d/lighttpd stop" sudo "/etc/init.d/lighttpd start" end This works fine and lighty does restart, but the last command never finishes, so I never return to the prompt. Here''s my output: cap restart loading configuration

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

Hey folks, I''m working on the Mongrel book with Zed, and wanted to get some feedback from the core users (this list) about how they use Mongrel. That sounds a bit vague, but I''m interested in hearing things about frustrating problems / workaround, preferred configurations, if you have a particular way you set up / store your config files when developing / deploying an

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, Anyone know where i can find out more info on Reaper/Spawner. Currently, every time i add a new account on my production machine, i have to restart the whole server. After about 150 accounts, this puts a real strain on the server (it takes 3 full minutes before i can access any site on the server). I think reaper/spawner is my answer, but i am havving trouble figuring out how to use it.

In the following deployment of web app on ONE pc-based server,running linux,which can support the most amount of concurrent users as well as the shortest latency? 1 apache+mongrel 2 apache+mongrel_cluster 3 lighthttpd+mongrel 4 lighthttpd+mongrel_cluster 5 lighthttpd+fastcgi Thanks charlie -- 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

Finally! I''ve released Mongrel 0.3.13 OFFICIALLY to the public for better or worse. This release is pretty huge compared to previous releases. It''s got oodles of fixes, design improvements, hosting enhancements, win32 changes, and the release even works with the latest cygwin. Read all about it at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/news.html GETTING 0.3.13 Most people do this:

Hi all, I am out of my head here... I have a 3 node cluster with 10 mongrels running on each. When I deploy, I break all the mongrels every time. I have tried just about everything. I can restart my mongrels without a hitch manually, it''s only when I use cap deploy. Maybe I am missing something here... so if I can get some help it would be appreciated. The errors are the typical mongrel

Hi, I am having a bit of a problem with my app that is using mongrel. For a particular vendor we use, they are generating links that look like:

I was using lighty+fastcgi before, and it was working pretty well, but I decided to move to Apache+mongrel because I really really like Mongrel. Well now I found out about lighty+pound+mongrel [1] and I think I''m going to give that a shot. I definitely prefer lighty to Apache - it''s pretty ridiculous how much fewer resources it uses. Anyway the only thing I''m going to

I''m a bit surprised I can''t find anything about this in the mailing list archives. Basically since Mongrel 1.0.1 I''ve had Mongrels fall asleep without any real cause. A deep sleep, actually more like a coma. The mongrel in question (I''m using a cluster of three) can not be revived. A cluster::stop, then cluster::start is nessesary. A ::restart would not

i''m using lighty and fastcgi in my rails production environment. standard output appears to get swallowed up somewhere... it''s clearly not coming out of the development log. don''t know where to look for it. is this a byproduct of running in production mode? is there a way to turn this off? thanks, paul

Hi there, The default recipe expects you to be able to access your web server directly from your local machine. On our web server, for security purposes, it is only possible to ssh to it through one particular ip (which is also a remote machine.) The capistrano source is so compact and tidy it looks very hackable. But rather than messing around I thought I''d ask first if anyone else
