Hi all, as part of adopting Rails in my company I had to go through the hassle of setting up a Rails production environment on Win32 system since we mostly use MS SQL as our database back end and also because we mostly dealing with customers who become green-blue-purple as soon as you mention Unix/Linux and run for the door. I also need to mention that most of our web applications are internal and

I have persuaded my company to move towards an RoR shop... from a PHP 5 (with in-house-built framework)... so the jump is not terribly bad. I''m REALLY excited actually! My problem: I am overwhelmed with all the setup Loops I have to jump through to get RoR setup. I tried it on my current Apache 1.34 and decided it''d be easier to make the Lighty (1.4.11) jump. So I did. I get

Why isnt the RoR community focusing on robust and scalable mod_perl style of Apache environment, rather then splintering all over the place with lighthttp, mongrel, WEBrick, SCGI, fcgi, etc??? Its frustrating as someone who is trying to migrate to RoR. Its very unlikely I would ever get a contract to work on any webserver except Apache, so it would seem logicaly to focus all our efforts to

Dear experts, I have rail site that is running lighttpd and fcgi. I want the default domain to serve the rails application, and I also want to have a virtualhost (bugs.mysite) to resolve to a bugzilla instance. Bugzilla is basically Perl application called through CGI. I tried to find pointers on how to set fcgi to run both rails dispatcher and other cgi scripts in a different virtualhost, and

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am looking to set up a CentOS server for hosting a high traffic PHP site (specifically Drupal 6). I am trying to figure out what's the best way of setting up PHP. The standard mod_php seems to not be a good solution, as it requires apache to be in the prefork configuration, due to PHP not being thread safe. Something like mod_fcgi seems to be

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 have a webserver that''s happily running apache2 and PHP. I''d like to deploy a site that I wrote using RoR on that same server but read that there might be some conflicts with PHP and RoR trying to access the same MySQL database. How real are those conflicts? Could I mess up my running PHP site if I install mod_ruby and try to use Apache2? Would I be better off

This might be obvious to everyone but it is something that i haven''t been able to find an answer to. Do I need to have either scgi/fastcgi/cgi running on either lighttpd/apache for ruby scripts to work? If yes, why? I have installed the scgi server and i can get the service to run, i have also installed the following mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 mod_ruby/1.2.4 Ruby/1.8.2(2004-12-25) mod_scgi,

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!

hello. i''d like to share some feelings of mine after a couple of *weeks* intermittent attempts to have rails applications working on windows (XP) with fastcgi performances under apache (2.0). i''d say the software stack i''m using now will be fairly common as more and more new rails developers will join the bandwagon. what is stunning me is the fact that, even if

So I''m getting ready to setup a production environment on my boxen (running Fedora Core 3), what are my options? I''ve seen a number of posts about FastCGI, SCGI, etc. and am completely lost as to what I should be setting up on my box (that I hopefully won''t have to touch for a while). I need to run Collaboa, Typo and probably 3 or 4 other apps on this, so

Hi all, I just updated lighttpd from 1.4.8 to 1.4.9 and it now refuses to start with the following error: 2006-01-24 23:12:24: (mod_fastcgi.c.989) execve failed for: public/ dispatch.fcgi No such file or directory 2006-01-24 23:12:24: (mod_fastcgi.c.1015) the fastcgi-backend public/ dispatch.fcgi failed to start: 2006-01-24 23:12:24: (mod_fastcgi.c.1019) child exited with status 2

Yesterday, our of nothing my server went down... Rails application failed to start properly Imediately i started checking my logs and found quickly that something was wrong with the dispatch.fcgi or its function. I use FCGI, and it had been working perfectly with Apache 2.0.55, MySQL 5.0, Ruby 1.8.2 and Rails 1.1.2. What really got me wondering was that I did nothing. One day it worked

Hi All, Just about to set up RoR on our server and was wondering what the ideal setup for RoR is these days? Apache 1? Apache 2? fCgi? Any guidance would be helpful! Thanks, -Adam

I see that lighttpd 1.3.14 supports SCGI. lighttpd 1.3.14 - 2005-06-15 18:10 Changes ------- * added SCGI support via mod_scgi * added hash-based and round-robin load balancing to mod_proxy * fixed range requests larger than 2Gb * fixed compilation on Solaris * fixed endless loops in mod_fastcgi, mod_cgi and mod_proxy * fixed handling of URIs for ''+'' and

I''m working with a guy who has Apache 1.3 installed on his server, and it''s not an option to simply use lighttpd for a Rails application I''m helping him with. I''ve seen that Apache 2 apparently is crappy when it comes to fastcgi, but 1.3 isn''t so bad. I can then either just run my app straight in Apache, or I could proxy it through to lighttpd. Which

160,000 pages 99% static, only minor stuff done in rail (search, contact us, etc.) windows server 2003 Ror 1.0 Currently 30K Hits /day on IIS. Apache or Lighttp? Fast_CGI seems kinda slow with a 2003/Apache configuration. The only thing I''ll get rid of for sure is IIS. -Cedric -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

Hello happy Railers, I used to develop with a local out-of-the-box Apache and load times were pretty slow (like a few seconds each page). "Well, it''s the price to pay for no compile / cache / etc..." I thought. Nonsense. Yesterday I installed SCGI, and now I''ve got the best of both worlds: rails development env uses my very latest modifications, while SCGI ensures I

Or maybe I crash it and don''t know why. Here is the setup: I have an action that will crash my debian sarge development box using fcgid, fastcgi and scgi running with Apache2, as well as fastcgi running with lighttpd, every time. Here is the action from the controller: ------------------- def crashme @orders = Order.find(:all, :order => "`id` ASC", :offset
