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).

Hi Everyone, I''m happy to announce the 0.2.0 release of Mongrel -- the fastest HTTP 1.1 library Ruby has yet. http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/ -- ruby docs lame page. http://rubyforge.org/projects/mongrel/ -- project page. Special thanks to Tom Copland for setting up my RubyForge goodness, and to Why for kicking in time to get the Camping examples up to snuff. This release should

Search doesn''t seem to be working, so forgive me if I''m covering old ground here, but I''m having a difficult time figuring out how to implement a "SUM()" function using Active record. Obviously, I could just create a query, but I''d rather make it part of my active record object. Basically I have an object called "Report <

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

I just went thru the hivelogic article to get everything installed on my new mac. I then decided to run thru the ADC Rails article. In the article it says to run ''script/server'' which will start lighttpd if installed or webrick if not. When I do it, I get webrick not lighttpd. I followed the hivelogic article word for word and everything else seems to be working fine. Is

Hi, I changed my environmnet.rb to say PRODUCTION mode, however when I start up a server "ruby scripts/server" a) it runs in development mode (via the logs) - any ideas why? b) why does webbrick run - I thought by default now it was supposed to be lightty Tks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, is there a list which helps new people as existing people to RoR in regards to what to install and when to install it? I''m just looking for a list must have components because I''m really lost at this point with all the announcements. Finally, my hosting company is currentlyhas the following version of rails installed: rails 0.13.1 [rdoc] [www] - depends on actionmailer,

hi, ive had some trouble trying to install RoR on tiger. during my google search i came across many different installs.. some using apache, lighttpd, or webricks for the web server,,,,,some are using sqlite, or mysql....now ive tried all and it came to a point where im sure i had multiple libraries etc...installed and everything was not working right compared to my ubuntu install of Ror. so

I got a brand new Fedora Core 4 box and was all excited to get Rails running on it. That was about two days ago. I did all the ''yum install ruby, etc. etc. etc.'', then ''gem install rails, etc. etc. etc''. I''ve tried running Rails with httpd (fastcgi and cgi), lighttpd (scgi, fastcgi, cgi), mongrel, webrick, and even ''ruby

Hello All, Yet another release of Mongrel proudly pushed out for everyone to review and comment on. This time though, I''ve done up a little website that''s *way* better than the plan Rdoc that used to stand in for the site like a one-legged leper. * http://mongrel.rubyforge.net/ As you should already know, Mongrel is a fast HTTP server and library for Ruby partially written in

Right now you can use either Pens/Balance/Pound to put in front of some Mongrels and it works really good (easy to setup too!). I got to thinking, would it be possible to mimic what Pens/Balance/Pound does in pure Ruby (yeah, I know the answer is yes)? I guess I''m looking for a starting point. Does one simply write an HTTP listener that then redirects the calls to Mongrel? Is

Hello, I just installed radrails and it will not run the webbrick because a version is already running on my mac. I do not know how to shut down the mac version. Thanks Regards, Frank Rocco farocco-H+0wwilmMs3R7s880joybQ@public.gmane.org

I just updated my ruby from 1.8.2 to the Windows Installer 184-16 RC1, and now when I try to start Webrick I get the following: c:/program files/dev/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/security.rb:18: uninitialized constant OpenSSL::Digest::SHA1 (NameError) from c:/program files/dev/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:397 from c:/program

I have an action which requests another URL from the same site (for testing purposes), but it keeps timing out. If I use an off-site URL, the action works fine. I also notice that I''m only able to request one page at a time from my server - the rest just spin until the previous requests complete. Is this some setting in Lighty, Mongrel, or my browser (Firefox - I played around with

Hi, We have developed a small RoR app that runs fine on a standard IBM thinkpad (1GB mem) but runsmuch slower when on an IBM x460 Redhat machine (32GB ram). The x460 server has hardly any thing running on it at present, so that not the issue. We are busy checking the config and permissions of the user account used to run the app., but I was wondering if you guys have heard anything about redhat

Following the instructions on Hivelogic, everything works flawlessly on my Powerbook until I do the ''sudo gem install fcgi. I''m getting no-definition errors all over the place. Any thoughts how to resolve this?
