similar to: Mongrel + RubyOnRails + FileUploads = Problems?

How does dropsend.com do this? I thought they are using ruby on rails to allow people to send large files?

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

Hello Folks, This is the long awaited release of the Mongrel HTTP library that supports *Ruby On Rails*. I know tons of people have been waiting for it, so I''ve got a few things to lay down first before you get all excited: 1) It''s very very ALPHA support for Rails. It will run a Rails app, and runs my simple apps, but it''s not fast or correct as it needs to

Hello Everyone, Today''s Mongrel is the first release to sport spiffy pre-built win32 gems. This comes thanks to Wilson Bilkovich donating some Rakefile magic that does the stuff for me. Everyone who uses win32 should send Wilson a thank-you since without him you''d be a victim of my laziness for at least a few more weeks. People who are testing and trying Mongrel out should

Hello Mongrel Fans, After about a Month of busy work, bad computers, moving half my house across the country, and other dramas, I''m finally pushing out the next release of Mongrel. This pre-release has lots of little goodies and the start of some documentation that should get everyone primed for the big "Mongrel 0.4 Enterprisey Edition 1.2" coming real soon now. INSTALLING

Hi all, Tried out the mongrel upload progress plugin with Drb and it works great on my OSX development box, but when putting it into production (Ubuntu Dapper), uploads complete but the app isn''t returning any values for upload progress, and uploads are not showing up in the queue when running upload_client.rb. Before anyone asks, yes, I''m running both the mongrel instances and

Hi Everyone, I''m happy to announce the 0.2.0 release of Mongrel -- the fastest HTTP 1.1 library Ruby has yet. http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/ -- ruby docs lame page. http://rubyforge.org/projects/mongrel/ -- project page. Special thanks to Tom Copland for setting up my RubyForge goodness, and to Why for kicking in time to get the Camping examples up to snuff. This release should

Hello Folks, This is the long awaited (like 2 weeks) 0.3.12 release of Mongrel. This release has received heavier testing than previous releases and supports a whole raft of improvements to existing functionality plus some new stuff. For those not clued in, Mongrel is a web server written in (mostly) Ruby. Check the funny dogs and read the docs about it at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/. The

Hello All, Yet another release of Mongrel proudly pushed out for everyone to review and comment on. This time though, I''ve done up a little website that''s *way* better than the plan Rdoc that used to stand in for the site like a one-legged leper. * http://mongrel.rubyforge.net/ As you should already know, Mongrel is a fast HTTP server and library for Ruby partially written in

Hi all, I encounter timeout errors during file uploads in my Rails application. I think the problem may be in the Mongrel configuration. Here is my setup: * Load balancer (Cisco CSM, my provider''s Catalyst 6509) * Apache 2.2.3 with mod_proxy_balancer * Mongrel 0.3.13.3 * Rails 1.1.6 * Ruby 1.8.4 * MySQL 5.0.22 * file_column I host an application in which users may upload medium files

I''ve got a Mongrel 0.3.12.5 pre-release in the releases directory I''d like people to try out: gem install mongrel --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/ This release incorporates why''s changes to allow for uploading files much more efficiently and for streaming out files via a HttpResponse.send_file call. I re-wrote the file upload part what why created to

I currently have a fairly simple Rails application running on FreeBSD under Apache 1.3 and normal CGI, and the performance I''m getting is alarmingly poor. I realize CGI or WebBrick are quite a bit slower than FastCGI, and I''ll probably use one of those instead when I have the time. However, I''m just curious if CGI is really supposed to be that slow, or if

I have an Apache 2.2.3 (mod_proxy_balancer) frontend server that does not have mongrel installed. It does proxy requests to several other mongrel-only servers (each running 2 mongrel processes). Each mongrel node has the same rails code-base and it''s working perfectly. However, my question is when I add an upload file form... where is it going to physically put that file? I mean since

This release of Mongrel features a CGIWrapper that actually works. The previous code was complete garbage so this one should fix the problems with sessions, cookies, and content-types people reported previously. There is also now a correctly built Win32 gem created by Luis Lavena. Luis joined the Mongrel project and will be working on the Win32 specific gear needed. His first thing is going to

Does anyone know whether the mongrel upload progress plugin works with nginx? It works fine for my app under pound, but not with nginx. I am using DRb to handle the uploads as detailed at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/upload_progress.html . If I am using pound I can see the uploads with irb -r lib/upload_client.rb , but cannot if I am using nginx. Does anyone know anything more about this

Hi Folks, I''ve been getting reports of people with serious stability problems in Mongrel. These problems go away instantly when they remove ruby-sendfile. If your mongrel starts up saying that you have "sendfile installed" and that it is using it then **you are wrong**. Remove the gem and don''t use it. I''ll be investigating why it doesn''t really

I''m a bit confused about how to get upload progress to work with mongrel.. I''ve installed the mongrel_upload_progress (0.1) gem, but have no idea what to do with it. According to the following page: http://technoweenie.backpackit.com/pub/602283 there''s a patch (mup.diff) which seems like it patches the mongrel_upload_progress plugin The following blog entry makes it

I''d like to use Mongrel_cluster with SSL on a green-field application (it can be configured however is best - initially, "ease of setup" is important, but then soon after will be scaling and response time). I''ve read a lot of emails on this topic, and checked out the Mongrel pages, etc, but I''m left with this question of what is recommended: For a

Hello Folks, This release of Mongrel should make the win32 folks go crazy. Thanks to Luis Lavena it supports a full service system for installing any Rails app as a service. This lets you start your rails apps from either the command line or the Service console. Stopping is still a bit problematic but we hope to have that solved in the next release. You win32 folks should probably send Luis

Hi All, I''m hosting with MediaTemple who are currently using 0.3.3 of mongrel on their GridServer. My rails app has an image upload facility whereby if you upload a large image (e.g. 5Mb) mongrel crashes. I''ve requested an upgrade to the latest version of mongrel but don''t believe that''s going to happen too soon. I''m not getting too much
