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

Stopping DRb after using BackgrounDRb::MiddleManDRbObject.init
Hi,
I''m having a problem where connections started through
BackgrounDRb::MiddleManDRbObject.init are not stopped, resulting in an
ever growing established connections between my Mongrels and remote
backgroundrbs
I added DRb.stop_service to my code executed after requests that init
MiddleManDRbObjects but that does not help.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

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

error message for record not found ?
I''m using backgroundrb for session management and deletion of visitor-entered information when a session is abandoned. The visitor can either click a button to end their session and remove their data, or backgroundrb will do it for them after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Everything''s working fine, I think. If the visitor explicitly logs out, then when the worker checks for their

backgrounDRb problems with results and MiddleMan
Hi there,
I''ve been experimenting with implementing BackgroundDRb in my rails app but
am running into some problems.
The primary problem I''m getting is in cleaning up worker threads, or getting
any kind of response out of worker threads.
If try using the response function/hash in my Worker the worker will not
execute reporting that response is an unknown variable or function.

MiddleMan.worker blocks?
Hello -
I am observing that calls to MiddleMan.worker return only after the worker
has completed its work. This puzzles me, and I presume that I am doing
something wrong. Can anyone make suggestions?
Snippets from my code are:
class ReportController < SecurityController
...
def create_xml_report(report,start_time)
constraints = get_constraints(report,start_time,false)

fastthread 0.5.3
I''ve just committed fastthread 0.5.3, which finally gives us a working
SizedQueue (which hadn''t really ever worked in previous versions).
Mostly it was just a matter of refactoring Queue and SizedQueue into a
single class behind the scenes, so I could move the signalling of the
SizedQueue-specific condition variable inside the queue''s critical
section. Failing to do so

does nothing but print the arguments that are passed to do_work. I''m

Instantiating middleman and worker from inside a model?
In short: how (if possible) would i go about arranging it so that i
can instantiate a middleman and set a worker going from within a
method in one of my models? or is this a weird thing to be wanting to
do? (
My specific situation: I have an ''Image'' model in my application. An
actual image file associated with the model is being stored on
amazons s3 system.

In Search of Search!
I am implementing a search on my site and was wondering which will be
the best way to go about it.
We want a full text search and an advance search.
We will have huge amounts of data that we would want to search. - on
multiple tables.
I went through the plugins acts_as_ferret and acts_as_solr.
but ferret seems to have a locking problem at high load and solr needs
a java server.
So what do you

backgroundrb not cleaning up tmp files?
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:

Some tests fail if rsync is not on path (with patch)
While installing rsync on a new Sun Netra running Solaris 2.8, two tests
(chgrp and hardlinks) failed.
I found that these tests execute rsync while other successfull tests
exectute $RSYNC. It is fortunate that my shell path was quite restricted
and that no earlier version of rsync was installed on my path. The system
would have run the chgrp and hardlinks tests with an earlier rsync if it had

BackgrounDRb background task runner and Application Wide Context Store
Friends-
I''m happy to annouce the first alpa release of BackgrounDRb. This is
a small framework for managing long running background tasks that
allows for ajax progress bars and more. It also serves as an
Application wide cache and context store for when you need something
like sessions but shared between users and multiple backend processes
like fcgi''s or mongrels.
