similar to: Deploying with capistrano issue. Resolution !

I have noticed that occasionally (about 50% of the time) when i deploy (using capistrano) my app to a production server, i have to ssh into the box and manually stop and start backgroundrb to get it to load my workers. this is my basic setup i have 2 workers: lib/workers/mp3_worker.rb => takes a hash of params to downsample an mp3 lib/workers/flv_worker.rb => takes a has of

i get this: undefined method `object'' for nil:NilClass when i try to get the status of a worker after backgroundrb has been restarted using a job key saved in the DB. how do i get around this? i know the process is nonexistent, but shouldnt it return something more friendly if it doesnt exist? am i forgetting something? Thanks! -Jerrod Jerrod Blavos ph. 919.341.0143 fx.

Help, I've been having a difficult time trying to create 3d partial dependence plots using "rgl". It looks like this question has been asked a couple times, but I'm unable to find a clear answer googling. I've tried creating x, y, and z variables by extracting them from the partialPlot output to no avail. I've seen these plots used several times in articles, and I

Hello all, I''m using BackgroundRb 0.2.0 (standalone) and in the do_work method of my worker, I''m working with objects from my Rails application. So in my config/backgroundrb.yml file, I added this line: :load_rails: true I think my worker isn''t doing what I want him to do. So I opened the console and read these error lines: # ruby script/backgroundrb console

Im checking out the mongrel_upload_progress plugin and have it working beautifully on my dev box. however, now that i am ready to push this up into production i have run into a few gotchas that i cannot seem to find any documentation or examples for. the lib/upload.rb doesnt seem to want to run in the background. perhaps im doing something wrong? Does anyone have any experience

is it possible to use these together? im asking because in the sample docs for mongrel_upload_progress, it has you start by hand a druby instance. This doesnt work very well when moving to production. as in, i cant seem to get that particular process to either stop or restart after a new deploy. I posted to the mongrel-users list about this and have not gotten any sort of response.

so i have an after_create method on my track model that kicks off a background process that converts an mp3 to a swf. this is working fine locally on my machine, but upon moving it to my production server, i am getting the following error. I''ve only been using backgroundRB for like 48 hours, so i''m not really sure what this means or where to go. any ideas?

Hi, I am learning cucumber. I have integrated the Devise with my rails 3 application. My problem is I have to write a test which will create a project. For that I have to make sure that user should be logged in. So I have written the user login feature first which is working fine. After that I have written the creation of project scenario. Whenever I am running that scenario we are getting an

If you installed your copy of ruby via DarwinPorts, the hashbang lines at the top of your dispatch.* scripts says "#!/opt/local/bin/ruby". This is a problem, if you''re deployin via Capistrano to a host with a different path to ruby (which would be practially all of them:-) Here''s a fix. Add this "fix_hashbangs.rb" script to your script directory.

Greets, When merging lots of subindexes in batches like so: xapian-compact -m idx1 idx2... dstidx Errors such as: xapian-compact: DatabaseError: Error reading block 0: got end of file present a problem since it does not provide the offending path name (of the broken index) for easy identification/removal in automated/batch scenarios (the way DatabaseOpeningError:.... does, eg). The only way

Hi. I am using BackgrounDRb to process thumbnails and upload to S3 - things are hunky-dory in development (thumbs are generated, these are uploaded to S3, the metadata is saved to trhe DB, and I get a nice status page updated by periodic calls via ask_status), but when I tried to deploy to our staging server and stop/start BackgrounDRb via Capistrano, things blew up - well, not exactly,

My app is set up without database.yml in version control. I created a shared_path/config dir, and put database.yml in it. After I update the code, I want to link the app''s database.yml file to the shared config. So I added this task desc ''Copy the database config'' task :after_update_code, :roles => :app do run "ln -s #{shared_path}/config/database.yml

I''ve created a couple of tasks in my deploy.rb file for starting and stopping backgroundrb on the remote server. The stop task runs fine and kills the process. And the start task *seems* to run successfully, but backgroundrb is never started on the remote host. Has anyone had success with this? Here are my deploy tasks: desc ''Start backgroundrb server (default

Sorry for the newbie question but I''m stumped: I have an app that requires sudo to run mongrel_rails. For my capistrano recipe is do it like this: sudo "mongrel_rails start -e production -p #{application_port} -d -c #{current_path}" Which works famously. Now I have tried several things for my restart task. Here they are: sudo "cd #{current_path} && sudo

Hi, I''ve been happily using acts_as_ferret on a Rails site in development mode, but deploying to a production system causes some errors I haven''t been able to resolve. My production deployment setup is Apache/mongrel and I''m sharing the index directory across each deployment version by linking {current_path}/index to {shared_path}/index in the Capistrano setup.

Hey guys, How would one run the equivalent of rake db:seed on their EC2 instance? I added this to my deploy.rb file: namespace :deploy do desc "Populates the Production Database" task :seed do puts "\n\n=== Populating the Production Database! ===\n\n" run "cd #{current_path}; rake db:seed RAILS_ENV=production" end end But when running cap

Dear friends, I followed the guide on http://techoctave.com/c7/posts/16-how-to-host-a-rails-app-with-phusion-passenger-for-nginx and successfully deployed two apps on the same web server, some months ago. Then when I upgraded to Rails 2.3.13.rc1 everything seems to be OK, but when I visit my app with the browser all that I get is the Welcome page from Nginx. Here is my nginx.conf:
