similar to: Possible memory leak problem...

I''ve had a right fun few days at work trying to figure out why our Rails app (which isn''t under very heavy load) kept eating memory and bringing our server to our knees. Eventually I traced it to send_file (which was in a way a relief as it wasn''t down to my coding ;) -- every time a user started downloading, the memory consumed by the app would jump, and

I''m trying to do some initial benchmarking of our setup, mainly just to establish baselines. I''m essentially using the process Zed outlines in a previous message: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2006-May/000200.html What I''m running into is that Mongrel appears only half as fast as Apache when serving a small static HTML file. If I then add in Apache with

Howdy -- I''ve been tracking down mem leaks (oh, the fun...), and I think there is a clue in objects.log. There are a few mentions of this file, but usually Zed saying "look at this file and it will help you". Can anyone clue me in to what the actual columns mean? 18,Float,143952,256821,112869,,, 18,String,39543,41693,2150,24.727076,55.526376,2308.000000

Hi, I''m trying to use mongrel 0.3.13 with Rail 1.0 Believe it or not, on OS/X it works well for weeks at a time. On linux I''m getting Input/output errors after anything from a few hours to days, never more than a week. Once they start they don''t stop. The only pattern I''ve seen is that it always (seems) to happen while rendering an rhtml file.

Hello, I''m running a Rails application which must sort and manipulate a lot of data which are loaded in memory. The Rails app runs on 2 mongrel processes. When I first load the app, both are 32Mb in memory. After some days, both are between 200Mb and 300Mb. My question is : is there some kind of garbage collector in Mongrel? I never see the two Mongrel processes memory footprint

Hello Everyone, Mongrel is due for a 0.3.12 release which will feature some pretty insane goodies for everyone. There''s talk of IOWA support, lots of speed improvements (including sendfile support), a great Configurator which makes configuring Mongrel a snap (especially for framework implementers), and a ton of debugging stuff. WARNING This is a pre-release announcement for the

Hello Minions! It''s *finally* here. Mongrel 1.0 RC1 for everyone to test, even the win32 folks. I managed to get everything to build on windows, including fastthread, and even cleaned up the "releases source":http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/ so that it should install cleaner. Win32 will have to try and report problems, as it seems rubygems is real finicky on win32.

Hey Folks- I''m trying to setup a new test/spec harness for testing Merb. I was wondering if there is a way to mock the Mongrel request, response objects easily to test my handler without actually running a server? I can easily do the env hash but I''m not entirely sure what needs to go in the request StringIO object that gets passed into my mongrel handler''s

In May I had problem with mongrels suddenly consuming huge cpu resources for a minute or two and then returning to normal (load average spikes up to 3.8and then back down to a regular 0.2 over the course of 5 minutes, then again 1/2 hour later. or 4 hours later, no predictable rhythm). I posted to Litespeed forums because I thought the problem was there but didn''t get far. And a week

Hi, I have mongrel 0.3.14, with ruby 1.8.5, rails 1.1.6 and mongrel cluster 0.2.1, on debian sage 3.1 with apache 2.0, and fastthread 0.6.1. I am load balancing 3 mongrel processes using the random port trick. When I start mongrel the processes have about 60MB, but after some hour of usage the memory ballons upto more than 180MB and the site becomes terribly slow. Forcing me to restart mongrel

Hello Mongrels, Mongrel 1.1 is out with fullblown JRuby support, some reorganization, and some bugfixes. Also, Mongrel_cluster has been updated to 1.0.4. Go subscribe to the all-new news feed, because we probably won''t announce to the list anymore: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/rss.xml Thanks Evan, and the Mongrel Team -- Evan Weaver Cloudburst, LLC

If this has already been covered, please point me to that (I didn''t find anything in my searches)... We are using F5 BigIP LTM load balancers. They have many pools of Mongrels they load balance across, and I of course want the F5 to know when a Mongrel goes down or is unavailable, etc. To do that, I need to have an F5 health monitor for HTTP make a request to the Mongrel. We do this

Hello All Mongrel Users, For the unintiated, Mongrel is a web server that runs Ruby web applications really fast. Read http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/ to get find out more about it. This is the Iron Mongrel release. It is the result of trying to trash Mongrel until it can''t move and then fixing anything that comes up. The work was done on EastMedia''s and VeriSign''s

I''ve got a Mongrel 0.3.12.5 pre-release in the releases directory I''d like people to try out: gem install mongrel --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/ This release incorporates why''s changes to allow for uploading files much more efficiently and for streaming out files via a HttpResponse.send_file call. I re-wrote the file upload part what why created to

Hi to everybody, This my first post on the list. I''m a newby of mongrel & rails, I''ve deployed my first project and everything seems to work fine, the only problem I have is the following: After about 1 or 2 days of the mongrel_rails daemon running the mongrel.pid in the log directory disappears, the mongrel process is still there running but doesn''t respond

Hi, I am trying to run Mongrel on win32 to serve an internal rails application. We are accessing legacy data, and some transactions can take 5 to 10 seconds. This is holding up every other request. The -n does not seem to be supported on Win32. Am I missing something, or should I look elsewhere to serve my Rails app on win32? Thanks, Walt -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

This is important so please read this message very carefully. There is a DoS for Ruby''s cgi.rb that is easily exploitable. The attack involves sending a malformed multipart MIME body in an HTTP request. The full explanation of the attack as well as how to fix it RIGHT NOW is given below. Most of the work was done by Jeremy Kemper and Jamis Buck. They did all the work of building the

Hi, I''m doing development with Mongrel 1.0.1 on Ruby 1.8.4 / OS X 10.4.10, and I''ve found that often when I shut down my server with ^C, it hangs for a while, gobbling up all CPU. Sometimes it stops after a few seconds, sometimes it''s run for several minutes at least. This happens across all the apps I develop on, but it seems to hang longer after

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

I have an Apache 2.2.3 (mod_proxy_balancer) frontend server that does not have mongrel installed. It does proxy requests to several other mongrel-only servers (each running 2 mongrel processes). Each mongrel node has the same rails code-base and it''s working perfectly. However, my question is when I add an upload file form... where is it going to physically put that file? I mean since
