Hello Rails Folks, This is just a quick announcement to let people know that SCGI Rails Runner now has a RubyForge project at: http://rubyforge.org/projects/scgi/ There''s already a few bug and feature requests there and I''ll be quickly putting more docs online as well as a new release shortly. The latest source is checked into subversion if you are interested in

Hi All, Alright, this release is getting closer. It''s nearly complete except the docs on my site aren''t written yet. There is however a full README with RDoc documentation and several packages including a gem release. Please check out the latest release at: * Announcement: http://www.zedshaw.com/ * README and RDoc:

Hi, While learning Ruby and Rails, I decided I just as well learn Linux along the way... It''s been fun, but I''m stuck at one of those exasperating moments... I hope someone can help me :) I installed Ruby 1.8.4 on Fedora Core 4, then Rails, then lighty, and then SCGI. I used yum to install lighty... and it already comes with mod_scgi. I created my first application in

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

I have a problem with running Rails 0.13.1 with scgi_rails 0.4.3 and Apache. After running for some time (more than a day), the SCGI process stops with the following error (from scgi.log): -- [ERR][24189] Collecting thread: Too many open files [ERR][24189] /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/scgi_rails-0.4.3/lib/scgi.rb:188:in `accept''

i had been trying for weeks to get fcgi to play right with apache. i finally got it working, but it''s far from stable. it was recommended to me that i should try using SCGI and that it is much easier to set up. being new to this stuff though, i''m not sure if there''s a lack of documentation or if there are some things that are just assumed and not known by a noob

I''ve liked the scgi runner ever since it came out. I like the way it''scontrolled, the way it''s clusterable, and the fact that it runs onwin32 platforms so easily. Now it''s May 2006, and the scgi runner hasn''t changed since October,and now we have mongrel. I keep seeing hints of clustering in mongrel,as well. I just downloaded the win32 installer for

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

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,

I''m spending today writing documentation. I''ll be updating quite a few documents, doing some edits, and adding some user contributed docs. If anyone has documentation suggestions, FAQ questions they''d like included, or things they think are old and stale, then let me know. Swing by the Lingr room: http://www.lingr.com/room/3yXhqKbfPy8 And drop me a line if you want

Hi, So thanks to Zed I was able to get lighty/scgi and a Rails app running. I know this might not be the best place to post this, but I guessed there may be several others with similar experiences here. So, the following step is to have several apps each in its on subdirectory. I tried the following to no avail: $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/tango/" { server.document-root =

two problems, pls help...I''m under big pressure at work to fix this! I''m having trouble getting scgi and lighttpd running on windows - here''s what I did: On Win XP, I installed ruby, rubygems, and setup my rails app. All works fine with webrick. I then did: gem install cmdparse and gem install highline (as required for the scgi_rails gem according to

Hi all, can you recommend me which web server config to use for developing rails on windows machine. I tried webrick, which is good but it''s annoying because console window is in taskbar for every site running and it have to be started manually. Apache with CGI is to slow and using FastCGI on the other side brings me lot of problems, like randomly not working RoR sites. Any help is

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

Hi Folks, I believe I tracked down the problem with the leaked DB connections. The simple fix is to put: ActiveRecord::Base.threaded_connections = false In your environment.rb file right before environment.rb does any ActiveRecord use. For example, here''s mine: ActiveRecord::Base.threaded_connections = false ActiveRecord::Base.configurations =

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 Folks, This release of Mongrel should make the win32 folks go crazy. Thanks to Luis Lavena it supports a full service system for installing any Rails app as a service. This lets you start your rails apps from either the command line or the Service console. Stopping is still a bit problematic but we hope to have that solved in the next release. You win32 folks should probably send Luis

Hello all, I''m new to Mongrel and am very impressed with what I see so far. This thing beats FastCGI hands down, and is even simpler to use than SCGI. Great job Zed! Thanks for all the hard work. I am a bit surprised at the memory usage patterns though. I''m not sure if I''m doing something wrong (most likely I am), or if this is a problem with the app I''m

Hi Everyone, I figured out this weekend that Ruby''s Thread implementation causes the Ruby/Event binding I wrote to completely stall and go dead. After reviewing the Ruby source and watching several strace runs, it''s clear that the Ruby Thread implementation uses select in a way that--while not being bad--just isn''t compatible with libevent. The second a thread is

All of the documentation for scgi_ctrl says to run it from your Rails app directory, and I can''t get it to run from a single command line like you would in a system startup script. I''ve tried: scgi_ctrl -c /www/myapp/config/scgi.yaml start ...but that just errors out unless I run it from within the root of my rails app (/www/myapp). -- Posted via
