similar to: BackgrounDRb after restarting server

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

ok, i was wrong. the failure on deployment using capistrano is 100% using these commands ## Our Handlers desc "Restart BackgrounDrb" task :restart_uploader, :roles => :app do run "#{current_path}/script/backgroundrb stop" run "#{current_path}/script/backgroundrb start" end here is the console post deploy on the remote server ######## [current]$

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?

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.

Hi, I have my rails sites tricked out with capistrano, and backgroundrb, so I can easily use the ant tasks, but I would like to be able to start and stop backgroundrb from within rails. I have a few reasons for this: 1. Using fastcgi, backgroundrb would start under the apache user and the same mod_security context as apache, instead of my developer account which has many more privileges. 2.

I''ve noticed that I can never just restart BackgrounDRb by itself. As soon as I do that, Mongrel can no longer pass requests off to it. The only way to get it working again is by restarting Mongrel. As annoying as that may be, I suppose I could justify it to myself, since BackgrounDRb is essentially resetting itself and its connections. But what seems odd is that Mongrel (or, rather,

I''m trying to get BackgroundRb to work. I''m runing on OSX 10.4. My install went ok but strangely this command didn''t work script/backgroundrb/start -p 11111 -d I get the error start: invalid option: -p So instead i''ve left out the -p 11111 script/backgroundrb/start -d which seems ok but when my controller calls my worker I get undefined method

Hi, I have successfully crossed all the hurdles to install Ruby on rails on a redhat 5 Linux based system. But the last and the biggest hurdle i am facing at this moment is installing backgrounrb :( I followed all the steps from the http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/ 1. sudo gem install chronic packet 2. script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/backgroundrb [IMP:::: I had to drop

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

Hi Bill, I have "version 1" backgroundrb running on my development server with rails 1.2.1, with no issues (other than the left over DB connections blocking up my MySQL server, which isn''t exactly a new problem). Going to move production servers to rails 1.2.1 very soon, I''ll post back if there''s any trouble. Still would *really* like to get version

Hi, First, thanks for the plugin. Sorry if this is not strictly a backgroundrb issue but I thought others on this list might have come across this problem. I''m trying to run the test that comes via the worker generator. The test works fine when running ''rake test_functional'', but when the tests are run by autotest I get "uninitialized constant BackgrounDRb"

Looks like my first question a couple of days ago wasn?t very clever asked, at least very sucessfull.... So, anyway...i will try it again: I have to prefix that I am far away from fully understanding the overall concept yet, and there?s no way to get some hints in the www so far, at least my resaerches dont lead to any helpfull stuff. image_controller.rb: def create MiddleMan.new_worker

I''m digging into BackgrounDRb and having some problems testing a worker class. The following line in my test (created from script/generate worker Test) throws an error: worker = TestWorker.new(:test_string => "testing...")

I''m trying to do the tutorial at http://www.infoq.com/articles/BackgrounDRb. A little more than half-way through it says "Upon instalation, the plugin writes a config file into RAILS_ROOT/config/backgroundrb.yml." It didn''t happen for me. I installed the plugin with: ruby script\plugin install svn:\\rubyforge.org//var/svn/backgroundrb It added a bunch of files,

I just installed backgroundrb on our server.

Seems this mail did not make it to the list for some reason. It contains my solution for the problem with login_engine without having to load the whole Rails environment.

I just had an interesting issue on a production system that has been running nicely for about a year. There were approximately 10,000 backgroundrb temp files in the /tmp directory. It looks like backgroundrb wasn''t cleaning them up. I noticed it with the following error: DRb::DRbConnError: drbunix:///tmp/backgroundrb.20015/ backgroundrb_logger_0_0.101544829808665 -

I installed BackgrounDRB as instructed: script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/backgroundrb rake backgroundrb:setup I started it with: rake backgroundrb:start In a model I make the call: MiddleMan.new_worker :class => :rss_worker In /lib/workers I have file rss_worker.rb, which contains the class: Class RssWorker < BackgrounDRb::Rails def do_work(args) ... end end

I''m trying to use BackgrounDRb to do image processing on large uploaded zip files of images, but $script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/backgroundrb gives me this: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:88:in `initialize'': No such file or directory - svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/backgroundrb (Errno::ENOENT) I can install the old version with $script/plugin install
