Drb Connection error on multiple dispatch.fcgi ''s
Hi All, I''m using Backgroundrb as a general purpose long-running-task back-end (upload processing, email sending, etc), and it''s been a great solution. However I''ve recently run into some some intermittent connection issues that have me baffled. I''m running on apache2/fcgid and the problem occurs in both devlopment and production mode. The problem seems to

Backgroundrb running under cygwin - having issue with Railsbase workers
Hello all, We''re currently running version .1.x in our environment. We would like to move to .2.x to take advantage of some of the improvements made running in a multi-process environment. We deploy to a linux environment but develop locally in Windows. I''m aware that a number of people have reported the ability to run .2.x of backgroundrb inside cygwin, and for the most part,

Error when creating a new worker -- "Text is not a module - (TypeError)"
Hello everyone, I''m stuck with this very obscure error whenever I try to create a new worker. My worker is a subclass of BackgrounDRb::Worker::RailsBase, and if you follow the stack trace below, you can tell that the error occurs while trying to load Rails. There is no problem starting up the server, by the way. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I didn''t have

BackgroundRb Server not responding
Hey, I have scheduled script that is not working very well. It will only run once or twice before I have to restart the server to get it running again. If I try to the worker manually after it has stopped exceuting the schedule I get this in the server log: 20070522-07:33:36 (5030) Connection reset by peer - (DRb::DRbConnError) 20070522-07:33:36 (5030) /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:566:in

IOError problem
Hello - Can anyone explain why I get the stack trace in background_server.log when I try to start my first worker? I don''t get this on subsequent workers, only the first one. I should note, the method I am using to start backgroundrb is documented in the archives, and is likely the root of this problem. Suggestions about how to "fix" or avoid this issue are appreciated.

Debugging stale backgroundrb
Hi! As you might remember I''m having a problem of backgroundrb stopping calling my workers after some period of time. I tried adding logging to backgroundrb source code but it didn''t help. So, after digging through internet I''ve found several gdb tools and here''s what I''ve discovered: After attaching to a backgroundrb ruby process it turns out that it

Noob needs help installing backgroundrb on Windows XP
Hey Guys, In the readme for Backgroundrb it says that windows support has been depcreated for this version, but then it goes on to mention how to use it in Windows. So I''m not sure if it should be running on windows or not, so I''ll ask anyway. Also, I''m new to ruby and I''m also new to server administration, so I apologize if my questions are pretty

backgroundrb and REXML issue
Hi, I have an application that receives XML files, and then hands each one off to a backgroundrb worker to parse and store the info. Everything was working, until I needed to support a larger character set. So I added the following to the top of my XML files: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> Adding this worked fine when I tested it without using

Workers calling Workers
Hello, We are working on a centralized report generating project, which calls for data processing on different servers and then centralizes the reports into a single project. What we would like to do is have a Monitor BackgrounDRb worker call another BackgrounDRb worker to process data on a different server, and then have our Monitor Worker collect the data and then store it according to our

Cannot start workers in production mode

"Text is not a module"
Hello all, After upgrading to Rails 1.2.2, I''m getting a strange error when one of my workers is invoked. The worker is responsible for monitoring a folder (using directory_watcher) and emailing a specific user when a file is dropped there, but it''s bombing immediately upon instantiation (or maybe when trying to instantiate ActionMailer?) with the error "Text is not a

Server dying with perpetual "Connection reset by peer"
I''m at a loss to explain a very strange error I''m getting. This seems to happen on our production system where we have a backgroundrb server sharing a host with a Rails app running on Mongrel. The first one or two, occasionally three, calls to a worker (direct MiddleMan calls from Rails, not scheduled) succeed, but afterwards, the server fails to initialize new workers.

:job_key acting weird?
Hi all I''m experiencing something strange with a :job_key, it took me a very long time to find out a worker wasn''t doing it''s job because of the name of my job_key. The first one I tried was :make_kohier, and with that name (and lot''s of other ones) I can''t get the worker to work. I do get my key in return, but the job doesn''t start

Repeatedly dying with "failed to find slave socket"
I''m struggling to keep backgroundrb v2 running for more than 24 hours. It appears to be running fine for a while, then tries to fire off a worker (exactly the same worker it''s been running for the past few hours), and it suddenly dies. I haven''t found any pattern for the cause of this. In backgroundrb_server.log, the final entry is this : 20070206-10:41:45

Production RAILS_ENV / DB Selection
Hey all, I''m having some issues moving a project that incorporates Backgroundrb onto a staging server... For some reason (surely of my own doing), my RailsBase workers are insisting on using trying to access my development DB instead of my "production" DB. When I try to load a model object from within a worker, I get the following: 20061120-21:54:28 (26296)

Greetings, I am seeing the following in my log quite a bit 20 + times per day. The stack-trace seems tin indicate an internal issue - is concurrency related? == 0.2.1 (Released November 28, 2006 - r162) My workers continue to function; on the next iteration I believe. Any thoughts are appreciated. cheers, Jodi allow_concurrency=true Scheduler.run failure: undefined method

Scheduled worker dies after about 30-45 runs
I have a scheduled worker that runs every minute, checking for new eBay auctions to post. If it finds an auction, then it posts it. If there are no auctions in the database that are queued up, it simply does nothing. I got the worker to finally run as a scheduled worker, every minute. However, after about 30-45 scheduled runs, it simply stops running. My backgroundrb_schedules.yml file: ------

Neophyte needs help!
Hi All, Real neophyte here, to both backgroundrb and ruby/rails in general. (Hey, we''ve all got to start somewhere, right!) :) I''ve just been playing around with the example code at http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/ , and trying to get all the pieces to work (btw, I''m using version 0.2.1). I did a ''generate worker example'', which created an
