similar to: more fcgi problems on apache

Hi, I am just installing a new test environment, but this is just for preparing the next one, which will be a production server. I am doing a clean Debian Sarge 3.1 install with stable sources. I have to decide if I install Apache 1.x or 2 now. I have read that FastCGI is better supported/developed for Apache 1.x. Is this (still) true? What is easier, more stable, etc? I want to run rails

Gang- We are getting ready to launch our ROR application; the last item remaining is the deployment platform. For testing, we had used Apache + MOD_FastCGI. I am not that impressed with it; sometimes it has strange effects. For example, when we start the application, for about 5 minutes or so, the app is very unstable and it gets better over time. My questions is .. should I go with (1)

Hi, Have been pulling out my hair for the last few days wondering what I''m going to deploy my site onto. I currently have FreeBSD 4.7, Apache 1.3.3, PHP 4 and MySQL 4 running a year-old PHP site. Dated stuff I know! The new version of the site will be entirely Ruby on Rails, and I am wondering what order I should be doing things in terms of upgrades and installation. I want to be

I''ve got a RoR app that will be going to production soon (in the next month or so) and would like to get some feedback on what kind of web server setup people have had good luck with. I''m looking for something that is: 1. Stable 2. Easy to setup 3. Secure (sorry but Windows is ruled out here) My deployment will either be on Fedora Core 5 or possible Mac OS X Server.

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

Wondering if anyone''s heard of a php script that will ''forward'' your requests on to, say, a mongrel instance, and return it? Kind of a php fcgi? Thoughts?

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/.

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

Hello list, I wonder if someone could help me understand the following: I''ve got a managed dedicated server with GoDaddy. Until now, I''ve only hosted PHP applications there. I now need to set it up to host my new beloved Rails application. I asked them to set up apache with mod_proxy_balancer for the mongrel cluster, however, here''s what they told me: *Unfortunately,

I''m looking to do something similar to the "secret URLs" in Rails Recipes, however, with file downloads. I want to avoid providing direct URLs to people if possible. I have files on disk in public/, so it would be good if each user got a "unique" URL to each file that they are permitted to see (dealt with by a user_id/file_id table). Then they are only allowed

Hey all, Here''s the issue... I''m not entirely sure it''s even a Cache-related issue, but here it goes: I''ve deployed a Rails app onto a subdomain of my clients site... The server is running Apache2, and I''m proxying through to Lighttpd. The issue I''m having is that I''m able to add content to the site (data exists in the db), but

I have a small intranet app with only 20 or so users. I''m currently using lighttpd w/ssl for production and mongrel for dev. I don''t think Mongrel supports ssl, but what is the easiest front-end to put in front of it? Pound? Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century

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

I know this question gets asked a lot but I can''t seem to find the answer when I search through the mailing list. First off here''s my set up. Cent OS 4.3 Apache 2.0 Fast CGI 2.4.0 Rails 1.1 Mysql 5.0 The app starts up fine, but every morning it refuses to start and gives me the dreaded Application error untill I reload Apache. I thought my database was timing out so I added

Hi All, has anyone ever seen it when they vist the URL in the applicaion that it just tries to download the FCGI dispatch file? Im running FC3, Lighttpd1.4.11, Rails 1.1.2 and FastCGI. i run IRB and get... irb(main):001:0> require ''fcgi.so'' => true irb(main):001:0> require ''fcgi'' => true On the default rails install page ''riding on

Hello all. Time for an all night installation campfire (no pun intended) story. I just helped a customer migrate from a single box to a 5 box system. 2 Lighty 2 FCGI 1 DB Everything went quite well. I scripted everything so it would be easy to add more boxes in the future. 3 scripts, one for each box type above. Then came time to get the site working. :-) Lighty came up easily. The DB came up

Hello, I wonder what would be the most stable production runtime environment for a rails application on Unix/Linux. I am not very fond of FastCGI indeed, since it''s not seen any further developement lately. What are your experiences e.g. with the mongrel server? Has anybody used it for production? What are the alternatives? May be some fine lad could just point me to web site

Cheers, I''ve just published a blog post about scaling Rails with Apache 2.2, mod_proxy_balancer and Mongrel. This way you do not need another proxy server or load balancer for Mongrel. Just use Apache 2.2 and mod_proxy balancer. http://blog.innerewut.de/articles/2006/04/21/scaling-rails-with-apache-2-2-mod_proxy_balancer-and-mongrel Jonathan -- Jonathan Weiss

Hi! I''ve just finished my ror site and i''d like to move it into production mode. Now it runs on linux/apache 1.3/cgi. 1. Can i use fcgi in development mode? I''ve read somewhere that because of caching it causes memory leaks and fcgi shouldn''t generally be used in development. Does plain cgi also causes memory leaks in development mode? 2. Does rails
