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''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.

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

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

Been doing some research but haven''t been able to determine much - has anyone had any experience parsing incoming [on the request] x.509 certificates? Specifically, getting name, CA, etc. Here''s how you do in Java Servlets for reference: X509Certificate[] certs = (X509Certificate[]) request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate"); Thanks. --

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

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

Hi! I run a mongrel cluster with 6 mongrels in it. I want to monitor them individually for process hangs (and then restart them) and this is the solution I came up with: Here''s my configuration file for monit (/usr/local/etc/monitrc): [snipped relevant bits] ------ #check lighttpd process check process lighttpd with pidfile /var/run/lighttpd.pid start program =

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:

I''ve messed with Lighttpd, Litespeed, Apache, etc. All took too much "thinking" and trial and error to get my RoR apps up and running on a clean Linux system. (Note: I''m not saying these are BAD, just that they took me too much time to get going) This weekend I put some time into Pound and Mongrel and ended up getting that up and running in a very short amount of

Right now you can use either Pens/Balance/Pound to put in front of some Mongrels and it works really good (easy to setup too!). I got to thinking, would it be possible to mimic what Pens/Balance/Pound does in pure Ruby (yeah, I know the answer is yes)? I guess I''m looking for a starting point. Does one simply write an HTTP listener that then redirects the calls to Mongrel? Is

All - I''m working on an eCommerce app built on rails. It will be relatively small at first and I''m not expected too much traffic. I''m considering either Pound+Mongrel or Apache+Mongrel. My question is this: I want several pages in the app to be standard http (home page, about us page, etc) but I want the credit card transaction piece to be secure using https and SSL.

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

Hi, Forgive this if it is a duplicate, because I was having trouble posting to the list. I have a setup of mongrel behind an apache proxy and I am getting a few people using IE (5.5 & 6.0) complaining about getting sporadic page not found errors when using AJAX features of the site and file uploads behind SSL. I am posting the research I have done on the subject. I have the

Hi Everyone, So I''m finally going to sit down with a few of the guys and do an even comparison between some stuff proxying to mongrel (we ourselves typically use Big-IP or Zeus to Apache 2.2 to mongrels). If you have other pieces of software that you know about beyond, can you please let me know? Perlbal Pound Pen HA-Proxy Nginx TCPBalance Balance Balance NG TCPFork Apache 2.2

I have an existing rails application on lighttpd and I am trrying to upgrade to mongrel for the enhanced scalability it offers. I am running mongrel 1.1.1, rails 1.2.5, lighttpd 1.4.13 and ruby 1.8.5 Everything is working great except request.remote_ip returns 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.0.102 (the internal network address of the server running lighty). I''ve seen some older posts about

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey, I''ve been using Mongrel for quite some time now but I ran into an issue that threw me back to lighttpd + fastcgi. The application in question was running fine in the production environment with SQLSessionStore and using a mongrel cluster behind a load balancer. However, by switching to a MemcacheSessionStore (using either

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

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: *
