Hi y''all; A quick note to announce the release of mongrel_cluster, a gem_plugin for Mongrel. This plugin provides commands for managing multiple Mongrel processes behind a reverse-proxy server and load balancer. To install: gem install mongrel_cluster Configure (use -h to options): mongrel_rails cluster::configure Start: mongrel_rails cluster::start I''ve posted a quick

Hi mongrel users! I just posted a bad-ass capistrano file that automates *everything* for setting up an apache2+mod_proxy_balancer and mongrel+mongrel_cluster -- including apache2 setups. It''s based off Coda Hale''s guide and all Bradley''s work at fluxura and RailsMachine (thanks Coda and Bradley!). It''s, well, bad-ass, if I must say so myself. My favorite

Hi Y''all, Just a quick note announce an update to mongrel_cluster. Changes: - ''mongrel_rails cluster::restart'' now calls ''mongrel_rails stop'' and ''mongrel_rails start''. ''cluster::restart'' now accepts the ''force'' argument instead of ''soft''. - Added ''.conf'' as

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to create a chat room using Ruby/Rails (similar to the Java ones used by Talkcity, Yahoo, etc). Not many people will be using it since it''s just for an educational experiment. If possible, will it be able to insert the text immediately? I mean, I don''t know of any techniques besides Java applets that can do that, which is why I ask

Hi all... After a few months of slumber, I''ve booted mongrel_cluster out the door. Nothing is really new from the prereleases except some bug fixes. I imagine there will still be some issues with ''ps'' on non-Linux platforms. I''ll gladly take patches. Most of the new stuff is described here: http://rubyforge.org/frs/shownotes.php?release_id=12907 Let me

Bradley Taylor shot me this *goldmine* of ugly ugly ugly dogs: http://www.sonoma-marinfair.org/uglydogvote.shtml I *have* to use one of these for the Mongrel BUGS Mascot. He''ll go on our bug list page and replace the little beetles on the left. Pick the dog you think best represents a lovable but defective pooch and reply to this with your +1. Let the voting begin! -- Zed A. Shaw

Hi all... Hopefully this is the last prelease. If people on non-linux systems could post back any problems with cluster::status, I''d appreciate it. Install with: gem install mongrel_cluster --source http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/ Note: This is only an update to mongrel_cluster and not Mongrel or other gems. Details about what''s new (if you missed the first

If this was in the docs, I''ve missed it. How can I have multiple mongrel clusters on a server? All the documentation that I am seeing seems to assume that I am only running one cluster.

Hello all... I know its been a while since the last one, but a new prerelease is available with a gratuitous increase in version numbers! gem install mongrel_cluster --source http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/ This one has some new features in it that need to be tested on all unix platforms. Please run --clean and cluster::status on every *nix you can find. I run linux so the rest are up

Hey y''all: mongrel_cluster provides management tools for running Mongrel behind a reverse-proxy/load balancer. It is an extraction from Rails Machine, a deployment service and Ruby library that simplifies Rails application deployment. This release fixes bugs and adds a Capistrano task library. Changes: -changed pid file format to include port -only write configuration options

I posted this to the rails list before by mistake, and only later realized that there is a specific mongrel list. Uff, I got lost. I had mongrel_cluster 0.1working fine, even with capistrano (my own hack). Then came mongrel_cluster 0.1.1 and I tried to set it up, but somehow I messed up things and nothing worked anymore. So here is what I did: on production machine: (debian linux, rails 1.1)

Hey y''all, Are any folks planning on taking the ferry from Seattle to Vancouver (via Victoria)? I''ve never done it before so I have no idea how much of an adventure it is. Flights are a $100+ less to Seattle than Vancouver so the price works out the same or a bit less. My plan is to fly to Seattle (from Savannah, GA) on Tuesday to catch the early ferry on Wednesday

Hello Everyone, I just posted another pre-release of Mongrel that fixes a bug which caused Mongrel to claim it was getting parsing errors because the QUERY_STRINGs were too long. In actuality it was shift in the parser that made empty queries (/test?) become negative. This is fixed up now. Here''s the full list of changes: * It has a couple of fixes for win32, but I still have to

Just a quickie, Hope I''m not going crazy here but I''m sure I''ve seen a screencast for capistrano recently... maybe posted on a blog somewhere. Can anyone remember where it is? Thanks -henry

I''m looking for an easy way to have mongrel only serve dynamic railscontent, while letting Apache serve non-Rails content. Unfortunately,it seems that you have to segregate the static content in its ownfolder. That was also the case with the SCGI runner. I used thetrick outlined athttp://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails/23347 to managethis. I was curious if a similar

Hi y''all, A prerelease of mongrel_cluster 0.1.3 is available for testing with the Mongrel 0.3.13 prerelease. This release contains bug fixes and adds a Ruby script for managing all applications on a server with a single command. To install: gem install mongrel_cluster --source=http:// railsmachine.rubyforge.org/releases/ Changes: * Suppress output from mongrel_rails. * Added a

Hey Folks, I''ve been holding off the official 0.3.13 release so that Luis can get the win32 side very nice and clean. We fixed a major problem last night so it''s only a short time before we get it out. Luis is working really hard on it, so just be patient. In the meantime, I''ve been doing a code audit of the Mongrel code as it is now and fixing any little things I

It appears the spawner in Rails 1.2 will do Mongrel clustering. I''m curious what this means for mongrel_cluster. They appear to overlap in features quite a bit. I don''t think the spawner uses a config, so that''s one difference. Will they be different enough? I only ask because mongrel_cluster could, theoretically, be made extinct if the spawner script has all the same

I was able to find some information about this in the list archives, but it ended with a possible patch being submitted for Mongrel. I tried to follow a few of the instructions, but I''m still kind of stuck, since I''m not sure if what I''m seeing is the proper results. I have an application running on a cluster of mongrel servers, which is behind pen, which in turn is
