similar to: recommended setup of Mongrel_cluster + SSL for multiple apps?

Hi all, I''m currently trying to get Mongrel running my app whilst fronted by apache 2.2 in a sub-directory via https. A bit convoluted I''ll grant you but necessitated by existing systems. The pertinent parts of my httpd.conf: <VirtualHost 123.123.123.123:12345> #historic choice of random port number DocumentRoot /var/www/admin ServerName admin.example.com:12345

Apologies in advance if this ignites a war of comflicting opinions.... I''m a few days away from going live with my first RoR application. It is completely database centric and each user will have his own queries so cacheing will not really help. I have a dedicated linux server being built by my hosting provider and I need to tell them which webserver to use. The databse is MySQL

Ok, David says on page 241 that sometimes a many-to-many relation with attributes are better implemented as an actual model instead of using HABTM. Well, I''ve got that situation and I can''t figure it out. All of the examples in the book have HABTM examples between 2 different tables, but I want to have a HABTM relation on 1 table with itself. (e.g., if I have a table Things,

After a lot of work (and much promising) I have written instructions on various methods to deploy Rails applications in a Windows environment. For those of you who are not stuck with Windows, this won''t matter too much to you, but I think this is really useful for those in Windows shops. Topics covered: * Serving Multiple Rails Applications on Windows with Apache and Mongrel * Integrate

When I try to run autotest (zenspider) (which looks VERY cool), I get this error: (run from within a Rails app directory) C:\ruby_home\analysis>autotest -rails # Testing updated files + c:/ruby/bin/ruby -Ilib:test -e ''["test/unit/user_test.rb", "test/unit/role_test.rb"].each { |f| load f }'' | unit_diff -u ''c:'' is not recognized

I''d like to always add a condition to any version of "find" (e.g. Thing.find(), Thing.find_by_name(), Thing.find_by_whatever) so that in addition to whatever conditions are set, an additional condition is set :conditions=>"user_id=#{current_user.id}" I''d like to make sure that a user only sees/edits/creates entries in the database that have the user_id

Our group has several web apps developed in ColdFusion, PHP, and Rails. The ColdFusion and PHP apps are on an older server, and the Rails apps on a new server. Ideally, we''d like them all to share the same server. Our current setup for the Rails server is Apache2.2 with mod_proxy_balancer and mongrel_cluster. We''d like to have specific directories be processed and served by

I''m setting up a new server in anticipation of switching from lighttpd+fcgi. My application isn''t completely imported yet, so I don''t expect it to work. For instance right now when pulling up my app from localhost I get my Ruby/Rails MySQL error message. But when I pull it up from a remote computer I get a proxy error from Apache: ====================== Proxy Error

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

A couple of questions please: What is the benefit of having more than one Mongrel/Rails instance on the same machine, could one instance not serve as many requests as say three instances? Is Mongrel Cluster a Apache add-in (like mod_*) or a separately running load balancer which runs on a separate port, I could not work it out from the sample Apache config... |# Redirect all non-static

Hi, I am a bit confused about what is the fastest way to run a rails application. I have seen examples which use Apache, mongrel, lighthttpd, fastcgi etc. Is there a correct way to do it? Or is it just a personal choice? Thanks, Keith --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk"

Hi mongrel users! I just posted a bad-ass capistrano file that automates *everything* for setting up an apache2+mod_proxy_balancer and mongrel+mongrel_cluster -- including apache2 setups. It''s based off Coda Hale''s guide and all Bradley''s work at fluxura and RailsMachine (thanks Coda and Bradley!). It''s, well, bad-ass, if I must say so myself. My favorite

I am using mongrel_cluster with mod_proxy_balancer and would like to enable compression (assuming it improves throughtput) and limit file size upload. I configured mod_deflate and LimitRequestSize in Apache, but in my trials looks like the proxied calls bypass those directives (the conf goes below). Is there a way to get this? -- fxn # Adapt this .example locally, as usual. # # To be

I''d like to implement output compression in Mongrel (ala Apache''s mod_deflate). I have found a Rails plugin that, with minor modification, works. Is there even an advantage to moving the output compression from the Rails app to a Mongrel handler? Unless, of course, someone knows how to configure mod_proxy_balancer with mod_deflate... == Will Green Web Developer & IT

Rails instances themselves are almost always single-threaded, whereas Mongrel, and it''s acceptor, are multithreaded. In a situation with long-running Rails pages this presents a problem for mod_proxy_balancer. If num_processors is greater than 1 ( default: 950 ), then Mongrel will gladly accept incoming requests and queue them if its rails instance is currently busy. So even

How is the performance running RoR with Apache2 compared to running it with PHP? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am using Apache2.2 + mod_proxy_balancer + mongrel setup and my mongrel.conf file(for apache is like this) 2 3 <Proxy balancer://mongrel_cluster> 4 BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:9000 5 BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:9001 6 BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:9002 7 </Proxy> 8 9 <VirtualHost *> 10 ServerAdmin rags at

I started the mongrel_cluster and tried to use the RewriteRule to forward the requests to proxy_balancer just as the http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/apache.html said. When I visited my site from a remote computer, I always got the error messages "Forbidden, You don''t have permission to access / on this server." Finally, I added the "Allow from all" property (in the

I know that Mongrel is a web server that hosts rails applications. But i don''t understand what part Lighttpd (or Apache) has in the setup. I know that you can use Mongrel on its own. What does Lighttpd improve on? Thanks, Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
