-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am looking to set up a CentOS server for hosting a high traffic PHP site (specifically Drupal 6). I am trying to figure out what's the best way of setting up PHP. The standard mod_php seems to not be a good solution, as it requires apache to be in the prefork configuration, due to PHP not being thread safe. Something like mod_fcgi seems to be

I''m using a cluster of mongrels behind an apache 1.3 proxy pass. I''ve been passing the request to pen, which in turn balances the cluster of mongrels. Now, I''d like to be able to use a different server to send the static files created by the rails application, so I tried to replace pen with nginx. Everything seems to work fine except the environment variable REMOTE_ADDR.

I''m setting up a new server in anticipation of switching from lighttpd+fcgi. My application isn''t completely imported yet, so I don''t expect it to work. For instance right now when pulling up my app from localhost I get my Ruby/Rails MySQL error message. But when I pull it up from a remote computer I get a proxy error from Apache: ====================== Proxy Error

Hello. Since two days I am trying to set up two rails-apps on a vserver-host so that I can access from work ;-) I tried all I can imagine and what Google/MSN teached me: FastCGI, SCGI, Lighttpd, Apache, Alias, Vhosts,.... But nothing really works. I am on Debian 3.1 with Ruby 1.8.4, Rails 1.1.2, FastCGI 2.4.0, mod_fastcgi 2.4.2, ruby_fcgi 0.8.6, ruby_gems 0.8.11, Apache 2.0.54, Lighttpd

I''m running a rails app on FedoraCore4 and so far have been using lighttpd and fastcgi. I''ve decided to switch to apache because lighttpd has been far too unstable, unpredictable, and slow. I don''t know if it''s lighttpd or the combination of lighttpd and fastcgi but it''s just not working for me. I need something that has been proven to work and

All, I have all of the components that I need to install RoR under FCGI for Apache 1.3.34. I have: mod_fcgi 2.4.2 fcgi 2.4.0 (developer''s kit) ruby-fcgi-0.8.6 I am comfortable up to the point of installing mod_fcgi, however, I don''t understand how fcgi and ruby-fcgi will be used by mod_fcgi. How does mod_fcgi connect to fcgi and ruby-fcgi. I assume that there are

I am going through the process of transferring my MVC skills from Java and LAMP to RoR. If someone wanted beocme master/expert at both FastCGI and SCGI what would be the setup on windows XP? My thinking is to use: -XAMPP+SCGI on c drive -WAMP+FastCGI on f drive -lighttpd +SCGI or FastCGI and bind different servers to different IPs as I can set IPs via loopback interface to my networkcard.

-----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''ve managed to get Rails working using Apache->Lighttpd->SCGI. Restarting everything is really difficult. This appears to be the process: - stop apache - stop lighttpd - stop scgi - make sure scgi still isn''t running (it sometimes does) - if it is, kill it - delete all session files (they often cause permission errors) - start scgi - start apache - start lighttpd - cross

hey all, I have an app working great with apache2 and mongrel_cluster. However, I''m trying to run another application and now when I go to app1.comit falls to app2.com and the opposite. That''s probably because I messed up somewhere with the cluster. this is the content of my conf.d/app1.proxy_cluster.conf: <Proxy balancer://mongrel_cluster> BalancerMember

I just switched my rails app over to production mode, couldn''t get it working, switched it back to development mode, and now nothing gets outputted in the browser. I''m sure I''ve missed something in the configs. Setup: Lighttpd/SCGI on WinXP, Rails 1.0. Environment.rb: ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] ||= ''development'' require

two problems, pls help...I''m under big pressure at work to fix this! I''m having trouble getting scgi and lighttpd running on windows - here''s what I did: On Win XP, I installed ruby, rubygems, and setup my rails app. All works fine with webrick. I then did: gem install cmdparse and gem install highline (as required for the scgi_rails gem according to

I''m working with a guy who has Apache 1.3 installed on his server, and it''s not an option to simply use lighttpd for a Rails application I''m helping him with. I''ve seen that Apache 2 apparently is crappy when it comes to fastcgi, but 1.3 isn''t so bad. I can then either just run my app straight in Apache, or I could proxy it through to lighttpd. Which

[ERR][17968] Handling client: can''t convert nil into String Hi, We decided to go with SCGI + Lighttpd for Rails at our company and had no problems with the initial setup. Everything ran fine and was fast. However, problems occurred when we tried to rebuild Lighty with SSL capabilities. With this build, even with SSL off in the config file the application fails on the first request.

Hi, I''ve had several reports of people with problems using lighttpd 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 with my recently released SCGI Rails runner. I''ve been testing these versions of lighttpd and I see the following problems: 1. When run with -D option, a CTRL-C will often times give a segfault. This is linux for me, any others? It most often happens right after try an SCGI handled request.

I''ve run into a problem on one of my development machines. I''m trying to run multiple rails apps on one dev machine that runs Windows. Problem is that is seems that I can only run one scgi_service at a time, meaning that only one of my apps will function at a time. Anyone know how I can get around this, other than getting a *nix box (which I should have soon, hopefully) ?

Hi, My program send s PDF file to the browser using send_file. Everything works fine in Webrick but when I switch to SCGI/Apache, the PDF file just does not get streamed to the browser.

Hi. I am trying to run RubyOnRails with scgi on RedHat ES4. I want to direct all access of "/" to index.html I do have DirectoryIndex in httpd.conf. But after I run RubyOnRails, the configuration stopped working. I tried many things, but it doesn''t work. Like: RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA] RewriteRule ^/$ /var/www/public/index.html [R] If I access /index.html, everything

I''m trying to get an application running in a sub directory of a site using apache and scgi. The application runs fine with webrick. I have a site. Let''s call it "mysite.org". There is a variety of content on that site. I would like to add a rails application to that site. Let''s call the application "myapp". So we will have urls of the form

i had been trying for weeks to get fcgi to play right with apache. i finally got it working, but it''s far from stable. it was recommended to me that i should try using SCGI and that it is much easier to set up. being new to this stuff though, i''m not sure if there''s a lack of documentation or if there are some things that are just assumed and not known by a noob
