similar to: Using Apache auth to secure certain areas of Rails app

hello. i''d like to share some feelings of mine after a couple of *weeks* intermittent attempts to have rails applications working on windows (XP) with fastcgi performances under apache (2.0). i''d say the software stack i''m using now will be fairly common as more and more new rails developers will join the bandwagon. what is stunning me is the fact that, even if

There is a big difference if you are not running a pure rails site. I am doing auth apache-side because I serve static content, perl scripts via cgi and feed the mongrel pack from Apache. The REMOTE_USER variable value can be passed to rails using a technique described deep down in one of the informative pieces on the Mongrel website.

Or does anybody prefer fastcgi/fcgi?

Hello, still trying to get things going. With proxypass the REMOTE_USER variable set by mod_auth_* is not passed to mongrel. I found another admin that has the same problem[1], but no solution. Did someone here solve this problem? [1]http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-users/200610.mbox/<323a37200610021509k6142cb08q6e6b0642e3261c6d%40mail.gmail.com>

I''m either missing a step, confused or seeing some odd behavior with ActiveRecord''s serialize feature. When I load an ActiveRecord object from the database, my serialized attribute is a YAML::Object, not the original object. My code is based on an example of this capability in the "Agile Web Dev. w/ Rails" book (p. 196). In create.sql: <code> create table

Hey everyone, I''m still getting up to speed with Rails and Ruby. Is there a best practice technique for kicking off a thread to work on an activity in the background? Here''s the scenario: the user performs an action that triggers e-mails to be sent. (I''m using ActionMailer). My app acknowledges with a message to the user that the messages have been sent. I would

Dear Marc, Thanks for your feedback! 1. I store it in MySQL. 2. I will add a cronjob to run Solr if I can figure out why its not working on test runs. Maybe I might try to setup a cronjob for solr to avoid having to manually start it everytime. 3. Will turn on the mail_debug in dovecot.conf . Where will it log the problems?

Hi, After following advice from you good folks, I gave mongrel a try in a cluster design based on the example on the Mongrel website - and it worked right out of the box which is great - and it''s very fast :) I have got a bit stuck though. I have two MS Word files in /public/files/. I can pull back these files no problem but it isn''t sending a mimetype. I think I have two

I want to host a rails app at mydomain.com/railsapp. For technical reasons I have to leave mydomain.com on apache. This means that I need to tell apache to proxy only requests for mydomain.com/railsapp to lighttpd. I have deployed in a situation like this before around a year and a half ago but it was a real pain. Lighttpd and rails have matured a lot in the year and a half since I did

Can someone point me to a tutorial or web example of doing this ... I want to have a site that is normally pure content served via Apache and I want to set up a Rails app on the same box that is served via lighttpd. Now I want the Apache site to be able to retrieve formatted pages for MySQL database queries by the Rails app. I will also be using ActionMailer under the Rails app. How can I

I am having trouble uploading files through a form when using Apache (production) or Lighttpd (development). The odd thing is that when I force script/server to load Webrick, the upload works just fine on the same code-base. When it fails, the upload just sits there forever. Some browsers eventually return an error code, others spin for a long time... Anyway, it never recovers. The file is a

Running on Fedora Core I have been playing with some of the tutorials and one of them had me install lighttpd and lighttpd-fastcgi and that was much faster than apache seems to be. How do I get fastcgi stuff to work on apache... I have this setup for my tutorial environment in httpd.conf <VirtualHost *> DocumentRoot /home/craig/cookbook/public ServerName cookbook <Directory

Hi all, can you recommend me which web server config to use for developing rails on windows machine. I tried webrick, which is good but it''s annoying because console window is in taskbar for every site running and it have to be started manually. Apache with CGI is to slow and using FastCGI on the other side brings me lot of problems, like randomly not working RoR sites. Any help is

I''m working with a guy who has Apache 1.3 installed on his server, and it''s not an option to simply use lighttpd for a Rails application I''m helping him with. I''ve seen that Apache 2 apparently is crappy when it comes to fastcgi, but 1.3 isn''t so bad. I can then either just run my app straight in Apache, or I could proxy it through to lighttpd. Which

I''ve managed to get Rails working using Apache->Lighttpd->SCGI. Restarting everything is really difficult. This appears to be the process: - stop apache - stop lighttpd - stop scgi - make sure scgi still isn''t running (it sometimes does) - if it is, kill it - delete all session files (they often cause permission errors) - start scgi - start apache - start lighttpd - cross

Hi Folks, We''re moving from a single lighttpd-hosted Rails box to a Apache/ mongrel cluster. In lighttpd, mod_compress had a very nice feature: if there''s a static file, it would compress it in a user-specified compress folder. If the file hasn''t changed, it would just serve out the compress file; if the file has changed, it would recompress it and serve it out.

Hi, I am relatively new to Apache Solr and I am trying to get it to integrate with Dovecot 2.2 running on Ubuntu 14.04 and needed a little help with configuration.
