Folks- James Cox, Alexy Kovyrin and I all huddled up and got nginx working perfectly with mongrel cluster and rails page caching. So all static and cached files are served fast by nginx and anything not static gets sent to mongrel. http://brainspl.at/articles/2006/09/12/new-nginx-conf-with-rails-caching Cheers- -Ezra

Hi there I''m planning to build "The Perfect Rails/Debian/Lighttpd Stack", published by Ezra Zygmuntowicz and Sean Schertell at http://brainspl.at/rails_stack.html I''m wondering what sort of constant maintanance that setup would incur. What actions have be regularly performed to keep this setup healthy and secure under normal conditions? Alder

Hello, maybe someone on this list can help me. I am trying to implement a sort of long database search. In order inform the user about what''s happening, status messages should be displayed to the user while the request is working. e.g. - starting search process - currently searching through database A - found 10 results - currently searching through database B - found 25 results -

Friends- I have put up a small tutorial about my experimentations with mongrel clusters behind an HTTP load balancer with no front web server like lighty or apache. This little setup is extremely powerful for how easy it is to set up. I would love for more folks to experiment with this type of setup to expose any issues it may have as a production environment. I have had zero issues

Friends- There is a new release of BackgrounDRb. This time it is a full fledged rails plugin with generators and rake tasks thanks to Saimon Moore. Thanks Saimon! You can read all about it here on my blog: http://brainspl.at/articles/2006/05/25/backgroundrb-new-release The newest feature besides the much cleaner way to install and control the drb server is caching. You can now use

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.

Hi! I have a rails action controller method which takes long time to complete. After about 4-5 minutes running, I get a "execution expired" error which stops this method''s execution. I looked and looked, searched and searched, but could not find how to configure my ActionController''s timeout to be greater than the default. Could anyone help? -- Posted via

Hi Im uploading a file to my rails app, i''s usually a large file, 5-50mb. Once the file has been uploaded it must be parsed and processed, this can take a very long time, 1-20mins. The problem is that most of the time my browser timeouts. Im not really sure how to solve it. One idea is that i have a script run constantly on the server that checks for uploaded files in a

Hi there, I''ve been digging around trying to find some information (mostly examples) on how one would handle a progress bar upload using BackgrounDRb and File Column. I did read http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/ and Ezra''s blog of course, but I still have a few questions. I made a simple upload form (as a test) that is submitted to the "upload_song" action. def

Hi ! Following Ezra's suggestions on http://brainspl.at/pages/perfect_vps, I changed the port sshd listens to. I'm trying to setup SwitchTower, and I don't know how to set the port. Where should that be configured ? I can't see anything in switchtower.rake, nor can I see it in the source. If this already exists, can anybody point me to documentation. If not, can I get any

Hello friends- There is a new release of the ez-where plugin. This plugin makes it easy to do complex ActiveRecord queries without writing any SQL. Ruby operators are mapped to SQL operators like so: foo == ''bar'' #=> ["foo = ?", ''bar''] foo =~ ''%bar'' #=> ["foo LIKE ?", ''%bar'']

Hello! Since Virtual Private Server seems to be the only way to run Rails apps without problems, so in the future I will need to become a Linux sysadmin. I plan on using debian (as per Ezra''s instructions in <http:// brainspl.at/pages/perfect_vps>). Rails VPS sysadmin is not the same as general Linux sysadmin, since only webserver, db and email are of interest (and of

In case this helps anyone I recently finished setting up a Debian server closely following Ezra''s excellent guidance @ http://brainspl.at/rails_stack.html. I used newer libraries in some cases (and mysql 5.0) and everything worked great until the end when lighttpd wouldn''t start. I finally figured out that Lighty 1.4.9 has a problem working with rails out-of-the-box. See

Hey Zed- I had a user with an app that was leaking memory with mongrel but not lighty/fcgi. I have been doing anything I can to track it down. I already did the Mutex patch to use unshitf and pop instead of shift and push and it didn''t really help much. The mem leak only really shows up when you use the wsess option to httperf. The other day I saw a ruby C extension that

Bradley Taylor shot me this *goldmine* of ugly ugly ugly dogs: http://www.sonoma-marinfair.org/uglydogvote.shtml I *have* to use one of these for the Mongrel BUGS Mascot. He''ll go on our bug list page and replace the little beetles on the left. Pick the dog you think best represents a lovable but defective pooch and reply to this with your +1.

Hello, I have a big controller of about 1000 lines and whenever I make changes to views the browser does not show the updated code. I am running in development mode which makes it all more confusing. This happens in both rails 1.0.0 and 1.1.2 and both in ruby 1.8.2 and 1.8.4. It also happens for fcgi and scgi. Also for apache, webrick, and mongrel. At this point I have no idea what is going

Is anyone using ferret with Mongrel/Mongrel-cluster? The first one or two times I access the ferret index it works fine, but then it throws a write lock error StandardError (: Error occured at <index_rw.c>:703 Error: exception 6 not handled: Could not obtain write lock when trying to write index ): I need to do more testing on this to narrow down the problem/solution but just wanted to

I see that the RubyOnRails.com site has migrated to Mongrel with Apache as a front-end proxy. Is that now the/a recommended setup for Rails apps? We''re still using FCGI but I''m always interested to learn more about other folk''s successful deployment choices. Across all of our sites we''re pumping out about 300k pages per day so anything that saves memory or has

Friends- I wanted to let people know that there is a new experimental release of this plugin. I would love feedback on syntax and features. There is now a full test suite with fixtures that covers all the available syntax. Look at the test suite for more syntax possibilities. There have been many additions since my last release. Fabien Atelier has been working on this with me and has
