similar to: Reload an application without restarting the Server?

I''d like to announce the second release of capistrano-runit-tasks, available from http://rubyforge.org/projects/cappy-runit/ It now supports: * File based templates * sv as the service control command in addition to runsvctrl * A much simpler interface for creating additional services. More work still needs to be done though! == TODO * Allow add_service to create more than one

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.

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

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

Hello, I have an project running on a dedicated server: Debian, P4 CPU 3.00GHz, 1GB RAM, ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [x86_64-linux], rails (1.0.0), activerecord (1.13.2) lighttpd-1.4.10 + fastcgi + mysql 5.0 7 dispatchers. The project is a game, so a typical user would visit 100+ pages. When the server is busiest, it gets 35-40k requests/hour. For some misterious reason after a number of hours the

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

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

Hi, everyone, I''m currently running a Rails 1.0 project using lighttpd-1.4.9 behind Apache 2 on RHEL 3. My fcgi process (I''m only using one right now) always hangs after some time, which is something I haven''t experienced before (e.g., I''ve run this same app. on a TextDrive account and it works fine there). So ... any ideas on what could be causing this?

I just setup switchtower and I am very happy with it. Just one thing is giving me some headache: My development machine is windows and my deployment host is Unix. Each time I deploy I need to make dispatch.fcgi executable. I wrote my own task for that. But does there exist any smarter way to get this automated ? I think Subversion offers some possiblity to declare a file as executable, but no idea

Hi, Has anyone experiences using SwitchTower (Windows) in a shared hosting environment (Textdrive)? I already patched the SwitchTower rake tasks (I don''t know if someone is interested on it), but i still experience some problems (not in the sudoers list, ...). Thank you for answer (and thank you to the textdrive guys, i never had a such fast support!) -- Jean-Etienne Durand

Hi, I am very new to this so please go easy on me... I am trying to deploy my app on dreamhost and I seem to be having problems getting it working. One of the troubleshooting items on the wiki states: Rails apps in production mode do not reflect changes made after they start running. So, if you found a bug, fixed it and nothing appeared to happen--this is probably because you

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

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.

I followed this tutorial on the rails wiki about how to get apache with fastcgi working on a vps machine: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoInstallAndRunRubyOnRailsOnCpanel In the tutorial it said to add this to the httpd.conf file to get fastcgi working. <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc/ AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi </IfModule> However

I''d like to announce the first release of capistrano-runit-tasks. This came about as I wanted to use runit rather than spinner/spawner/ reaper on my memory limited VPS but should be useable for any setup. From the README: This library extends Capistrano to allow processes to be supervised using the runit package. It replaces some of the standard tasks with runit versions and

I''ve got switchtower set up, and it seems to work fine except for one problem: It doesn''t successfully restart lighttpd. I have the following task in my deploy.rb file: desc "Restart the web server" task :restart, :roles => :app do sudo "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/lighttpd.sh restart" end This is on a FreeBSD system, so it''s using the rc script to

Is there a way to tweak rails 1.0 or 1.1-rc1 to use less RAM? I''m using a VPS (Linux UML) with < 160 MB RAM and would like to explore ways to make rails run more efficiently under such constraints. Are there articles/tips about this or do I need to look into this from scratch? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am trying to generate my first scaffold but I am getting a 500 error from http://127.0.0.1:3000/foo . Below is the information about my system, as well as the commands I am typing. I have also included the DDL ( Oracle 10g ). I am mid way through chapter 6 of "Agile Web Development w/ Rails". Why aren''t there any files under app/controllers/ ? C:\tmp\rubyWork>ruby

Hi, I have created a small :restart task to overwrite the default one: task :restart, :roles => :app do sudo "/etc/init.d/lighttpd stop" sudo "/etc/init.d/lighttpd start" end This works fine and lighty does restart, but the last command never finishes, so I never return to the prompt. Here''s my output: cap restart loading configuration

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
