similar to: Apache or lighttp for Ror/2003server?

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

Hi! I''ve understood that the mod_ruby apache module is not recommended for running Ruby on Rails applications. But I haven''t found any information as to why that is so. Please enlighten me. And could you point me to the (currently) prefered production environment. (That can handle both RoR and PHP sites). Thank you and best regards Hans-Eric Gr?nlund -- Posted via

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 am running (testing) a noob-tube for myself as follows: Windows XP SP2 lighty ruby 1.8.x rails 1.1 scgi I have everything working fairly well, but with one minor exception: the actions that I have defined as follows are not found. class MytestController < ApplicationController def index render_text "Hello Nurse!" end def dilbert render_text "Dilbert

Hello Everyone, Today''s Mongrel is the first release to sport spiffy pre-built win32 gems. This comes thanks to Wilson Bilkovich donating some Rakefile magic that does the stuff for me. Everyone who uses win32 should send Wilson a thank-you since without him you''d be a victim of my laziness for at least a few more weeks. People who are testing and trying Mongrel out should

Hi, I''m looking to run several installation of a rails app. Each one has certain unique elements, like database.yml some and some css stuff, possible some templates as well. I''ve set this up like /w/sites/clienta /w/sites/clientb /w/sites/clientc Inside these directories there will be mostly symlinks to: /apps/myapp Urls for these apps will be: http://clienta.example.com

Good day, I am currently setting up/debugging a webmailer-only setup using Roundcube (latest version) with Dovecot (2.3.20, latest as of now). Generally speaking the setup performs OK, I wrote a JMeter Roundcube script to test the Roundcube. This includes actions like listing mails and fetching them. I am hitting a somehow dubious limit of 600 req/s though. (This includes all kinds of HTTP calls

I am trying to run instant rails on windows xp SP2. I can get the cookbook and typo sample sites to work with webrick but not with scgi. When i click the start with scgi i get a blank dos window and typing www.mycookbook.com returns Firefox can''t establish a connection to the server at www.mycookbook.com. This suggests that apache is not even running even though the green light is

Hi All, So I just pushed our rails app to our production server, but I''ve encountered a number of problems. Firstly the fast_cgi processes seem to be eating up a hell of a lot of memory, at times max out our 1gig of RAM. I''ve switched back to cgi for the moment, but independently of that sessions seem to be failing intermitently. The session will hold itself stable for a

Hi, After following advice from you good folks, I gave mongrel a try in a cluster design based on the example on the Mongrel website - and it worked right out of the box which is great - and it''s very fast :) I have got a bit stuck though. I have two MS Word files in /public/files/. I can pull back these files no problem but it isn''t sending a mimetype. I think I have two

is it by design? is it standard? how do you give users multiple actions on a form? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I wonder if it''s possible to retrieve the current controller name and possibly the action when you''re in a view. i.e. I call the same template/partial view from different controllers and I''d like to know when I''m in the view code which controller is calling it... Any ideas? Sorry if it''s obvious but I couldn''t find it in the doc.

Anybody use Resin''s (http://www.caucho.com) FastCGI support with Rails? I''m seeing performance very close (almost the same) to what I''m seeing with Lighttpd. Nothing scientific but just a quick test using Apache''s wb and JMeter. (Might be interesting to other Java/Rails folk or Java/PHP/Rails folk. I have no connection to Caucho and the tests were done with

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 =

I''ve run into a problem on one of my development machines. I''m trying to run multiple rails apps on one dev machine that runs Windows. Problem is that is seems that I can only run one scgi_service at a time, meaning that only one of my apps will function at a time. Anyone know how I can get around this, other than getting a *nix box (which I should have soon, hopefully) ?

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

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 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''

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
