similar to: Reaper -a restart causes app to hang

fcgi_watch is a supplement to (or replacement for) <rails_app>/script/process/reaper. The standard reaper script searches for all processes started with a given pathname using the output from a ps command, and performs an action on them. There are problems with this approach, at least on some shared servers: - The pathname seen from a script is not necessarily the same as the

Hi I''ve been using Capistrano to deploy my application for around 3 months now, and in the last week or so the reaper part of the restart/deploy tasks is failing with the following message: executing task restart * executing "/home/user/myapp/current/script/process/reaper --dispatcher=dispatch.fcgi" servers: ["myapp.com"] [myapp.com] executing command **

hey all, So, we''ve been trying to get a nice stable config running for deployment with SwitchTower, spinner spawner and reaper, and I have to say, they are, as it says in the title, teh suxx0r. <warning>I''m annoyed, and wrote this while annoyed</warning> ;) The problems are rife: 1. Because lighttpd has no control over the fcgis, the restart process is

I need to be able to restart my server based on a specific database change. I''ve been trying a call to system("script/process/reaper -a graceful -d dispatch.fcgi") but that raises a transaction error which rolls back the save. I wasn''t aware that after_save would rollback. That''s potentially useful but pretty much not right now. Here''s my code: def

Hi there, I have been running the reaper on dreamhost and I''m not sure it is actually restarting the processes will the reaper create new processes? because all the PID''s are the same before and after I run the reaper Restarting [1344] ruby dispatch.fcgi Restarting [10172] ruby dispatch.fcgi Restarting [21592] ruby dispatch.fcgi Restarting [4931] ruby dispatch.fcgi Restarting

Hello, I''m trying to restart my application fastcgi processes using reaper. But I get the following error: $sudo -u www ./script/process/reaper Couldn''t find any process matching: /var/www/example/200605200000/public/dispatch.fcgi The problem is that it should not look for 20060520000 but for current which is a symbolic link pointing to 200605200000. I did the

Hi, Can anyone shed any light on why "reaper" (whilst seemingly working re restarting my mongrel ruby process) does not pick up changes to my application? (e.g. changing a title in a view for example). It''s like the "mongrel_rails start etc..." is just restarting the current process but ignoring the new details re where the new application directory is. That is

Hi, Anyone know where i can find out more info on Reaper/Spawner. Currently, every time i add a new account on my production machine, i have to restart the whole server. After about 150 accounts, this puts a real strain on the server (it takes 3 full minutes before i can access any site on the server). I think reaper/spawner is my answer, but i am havving trouble figuring out how to use it.

All, Looking into Capistrano I have yet to come across anything that discusses the necessary permissions needed to do a restart of the FCGI processes. >From what I can see I have two options, run lighttpd as my normal www.wwwuser/group which does not have a shell account and give sudo rights to the user Capistrano logs in to the app server as. Or give lightty a shell account so that

I''ve updated fcgi_watch to version 0.3.1. There''s no real functional difference, but I fixed a bug that caused it to report multiple copies of the same FCGI process as "running" under certain conditions. The updated version is here: http://www.alevans.com/dl/fcgi_watch-0.3.1.tgz For those just tuning in: fcgi_watch is a supplement to (or replacement for)

Hi, i''m striving to capistranize a foo app on DH. Everything is hosted on DH to simplify a bit : - svn repository (http access) - the application - the DB I used the recipe of Jamis Buck modified by Geoffrey Grosenbach which you can find here : http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel_dreamhost I did the least modifications possible. As recommended. 1) When I launch the

After quite a bit of searching and coding, I customized an init.d/bash script which allows me to manage multiple instances of Lighttpd server running Rails. It targets the specific PID address instead of the default binary location when starting and stopping /usr/local/bin/lighttpd process. This provides the ability in my case to have multiple lighttpd.conf files running many different instances

I have an app running on Apache and FCGI (on Textdrive). It is displaying an error, and I need to restart it, but have no idea how to do it. Could anyone advice me on that? What are the commands to be used to start,stop and restart apps running on Apache and FCGI. I also want to make sure that apps on my other subdomains are not affected. Thanks for the help.

When I try to do a deployment with Capistrano I get the error "No such file to load -- pathname" when Cap tries to execute reaper. Any ideas what''s causing this or how I can troubleshoot it?

Hello, I really can't say if it's rails or fastcgi related, but sometimes rails is not responding. See some output from ./script/process/reaper: ./script/process/reaper Restarting [22804] /usr/local/bin/ruby18 /usr/home/www/public/dispatch.fcgi Restarting [22806] /usr/local/bin/ruby18 /usr/home/www/public/dispatch.fcgi Restarting [22807] /usr/local/bin/ruby18

To clarify, I am one of the REAPER developers. To say that FLAC itself is not broken is sort of meaningless--FLAC itself is just a specification. So yes, it is just libFLAC that is broken. I have spent QUITE a bit of time trying to sort out why it fails on 24 bit mode.. If there are some specific alignment requirements of samples, please point me to the documentation of them, but we have

Hi Justin, I am using flac on the Mac OS X command-line with AIFF input files. In fact, you can use my Mac installer for flac to get everything you need for working 24-bit files in FLAC. You can also build flac from the open-source project to get the same thing. It sounds like you're using libFLAC, and the REAPER programmers are unable to get it working with 24-bit. Have you tried

http://www.cockos.com/reaper/ is the home page for an app that officially supports Wine; it says "Requires Windows 98/ME/NT/2k/XP/Vista/WINE" Anyone know of other such apps? Do we already have a list of them somewhere? If we don't, maybe we should start one on the wiki page. It would be kind of neat to watch that list grow. - Dan

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
