similar to: Unable to start with Capistrano...

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

Hello ~ I am using the Capistrano recipe outlined in this post to restart my backgroundrb server: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/backgroundrb-devel/2007-February/000718.html My Version: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ task :before_restart, :roles => :app do restart_backgroundrb end task :start_backgroundrb, :roles => :app do sudo "nohup

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,

Hi there, We''ve been using previous version of bdrb (drb based one) for a while and it was running relatively OK. We recently attempted to upgrade to the new version to keep up / use supported version but we ended up reverting to the older version. Here are the things that moved us to revert : 1) With the workers we never manage to pass this error: '''' You have a nil

Hi there I''m using the latest release (r300) and ''script/backgroundrb start'' works perfectly when executed on the server, but when put inside a Rake task, it doesn''t launch the worker processes. The Rake task is as follows: task :start_backgroundrb do run "cd #{current_path} && ./script/backgroundrb start" end When I run this task, the

Hi the list people, hi Ezra, I just read from this message http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/backgroundrb-devel/2006-July/000134.html that BackgrounDRb will offer a way to kill a worker from within itself. As this message is from 7/25, I wonder if this feature has been added since. If not, is there any way to do it? I tried this: MiddleMan.delete_worker(@_job_key) But it raise: uninitialized

When I am using my rails models in my worker class, it appears the background worker class is always using development no matter what I do. I set background.yml to production. I even have ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] ||= ''production uncommented in environment.rb. I don''t have the development db even created on my production box, so not sure where it is getting development

I''ve been playing around with Vlad the deployer, and quite like it. However, has anyone used it to stop/start background rb processes via the ./script/backgroundrb script?

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]$

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.

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

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''m having problems launching the spin process via the deploy.rb task. Everything works great when is run the script manually via: % ssh admin@monterey.example.net /Web/Rails/Example/current/script/spin However, when I run ''cap spinner'' or ''rake remote:exec ACTION=spinner'', I get the following errors: % cap spinner loading configuration

I have been facing this damn ugly issue since quite sometime. So this worker reads RSS feed from Yahoo news and stores it in a DB. The worker is scheduled to run at every 40 minutes and my background_schedules.yml looks like this: feed_worker: :class: :feed_worker :job_key: :feed_worker_key :worker_method: :do_work :trigger_args: :start: <%= Time.now + 5 %>

Thanks to many of you, I''ve got my session management working with BackGrounDRb. Very cool. So now I need to deploy it. I''m on a shared hosting plan (at a2hosting in case that matters). Are there any issues I should expect to have to deal with in getting them to deploy the plugin? Anything special I need to do? I''m wondering in particular about the ''start

Hi, Got everything setup nicely with backgroundrb for the development environment and running tests with rspec. However, I have to keep editing the backgroundrb.yml file, to switch between development and testing environment. How can I declare a development, testing and production environment in backgroundrb.yml? Thanks in advance Rai

Hi everyone, I''ve been sold on the whole idea of using Capistrano for deployment of my sites and have successfully deployed three apps in three different environments all with success. As I''m trying to configure my sites I''ve encountered a number of issues/questions hence this post. 1. Database.yml Twice I''ve been stumped by apps refusing to work on

Hi there, I''m having some difficulties finding some decent info on getting Switchtower to function for my needs. I''ve read most of the Switchtower doc on http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/97, however it''s not answering some potent questions I have. 1. The doc mentions, as an example, using an SVN repos at http://svn.switchtower.com/flipper/trunk What if I

I hopethis hope this makes sense. How do you make rsync run even when not physically connected to the server? In other words, I run rsync from the terminal via vnc and when I log out of the connection, rsync stops running. Is there a script or something I can use? Sent from my iPhone
