Way to go YubNub! It''ll be interesting to see: 1) What so many people have to say and 2) How your rails app holds up to the slashdotting. Great work!

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 used the hivelogic article to install ruby on rails to my mac: http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger everything works great using the script/server command, but isn''t that still using WEBrick? how do i server my apps with lightTPD? i tried following the instructions given here: http://duncandavidson.com/essay/2005/12/railsonlighty but have had no

Hi, I thought I''d give lighttpd and FastCGI a go but the latest version I''ve found for fastcgi is 2.4.0 which was released in January 2003. Is this the right version? Can anyone recommend the versions I should use for FastCGI et al and where to find them? I''m not sure I''ve really found what I''m looking for... -- Posted via

I have a website up and running on TextDrive with Rails/lighttpd/fcgi. Unfortunately, as my account is a "shared server" account on TxD, they kill processes that are hogging resources (quite understandably). Unfortunately for me, my Ruby fcgi processes load up rather ... large (just under 50mb). It doesn''t take much to push it to 50mb, at which point it gets killed. Does

I followed the instructions from the ~/RailsOnDebian tutorial to set up Rails on a FreeBSD. (That tutorial is down, can it be hosted somewhere else?). Now I have some questions regarding the configuration of Lighttpd for Rails. If there are FAQs in my questions don''t hesitate to point me to the right resource... Probably a trivial one: where do I access a Rails site when it is

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

Good evening (or afternoon or whatever it is where you are), Before I start setting it all up, I have a question about lighttpd and multiple rails apps. From what I have read, it is at the minute only possible to do multiple rails apps using subdomains: typo.mysite.com hieraki.mysite.com rforum.mysite.com etc, etc and not currently possible to do this: mysite.com/typo mysite.com/rforums

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

I''m doing some searching for deployment options, and I feel like I''m getting buried in a lot of new technology and assumptions that I know all that it''s dependent on. In the past I''ve done small things with PHP where I just dump the app in a folder and everything works out of the box. I found that everyone is using Capistrano, which relies on Subversion

Hi all, I have deployed my Ruby On Rails application on TextDrive. At first everything seamed to be fine. However, lately, response time of my application is incredible slow. Worse, lately there is also a lot of downtime. I have contacted their support desk, however, they do not respond (at all, or very, very late). Has anyone else these experiences with TextDrive? And if so, what did you do

Hi -- (First time posting to the list...) I''m trying out Rails on my Mac (OS X Panther, 1.6 G5). It seems... kinda slow? I''ve even run it with FastCGI and the response time is still painfully slow. Is this just me? Is mod_ruby any better than FastCGI? Or is it rails? Thanks in advance! -- joshua

Hello, After a recent system rebuild, I am now reinstalling Ruby on Rails on Mac OS X. I have gotten it working, sort of, and can''t understand what''s wrong. If I load script/server, I''m told that it found lighttpd and is using that. I load localhost:3000 and I see the Welcome Aboard screen and the link "About your application''s environment". And

Hi. Lighttpd''s merrily serving Rails on OS X for me, but I can''t for the life of me get script/console to run. I get, always: /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:18:in `require__'': No such file to load -- readline (MissingSourceFile) (And then a chain of errors leading from that point...) I followed Jason''s manuals.textdrive

Or does anybody prefer fastcgi/fcgi? I''m using webrick for development, but plan on using scgi when I switch to production (because it appears to be an update to fastcgi, and I couldn''t get fastcgi working anyhow). thanks csn __________________________________ Yahoo!

How are you guys handling threads or server processes that have to, for example, process the data in your application on a periodic basis? Cron jobs can do it and then run on the database. But, are there ways to launch threads within the rails application itself. I have heard of WebBrick ways, but I am working with lighttpd, fastcgi? (textdrive if you are really interested).

I moved a rails application to textdrive using their low-cost shared plan. Once on textdrive my app would display ''proxy errors'' periodically. Hitting reload seemed to be all that was needed to get past the proxy error. After discussions with their support people I decided the proxy errors were being caused by apache server restarts -- because there were many of us sharing one

I am using the shovel deploy.rb from http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel I have SwitchTower-ized my app, copied the shovel deploy.rb file and put my settings in it. But when I run "rake remote_exec ACTION=setup_lighty" from the local app root it has no effect. It should prompt for a password for at least throw an error? I just get returned to the DOS prompt. If I do "rake

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.

Does your *shared* hosting account work without errors? I''m interested in both positive and negative reports. If you are willing, please contribute - name of the hosting service - how long you have used them - your experience ("flawless!", "it''s crap!") You *do not* need to reply saying your VPS service works great. This is about *shared* hosting
