Hi, I''m having a problem where connections started through BackgrounDRb::MiddleManDRbObject.init are not stopped, resulting in an ever growing established connections between my Mongrels and remote backgroundrbs I added DRb.stop_service to my code executed after requests that init MiddleManDRbObjects but that does not help. Any ideas? Thanks, Robert Bjarnason

Hello to all, I am entirely new to Ruby and also to Ruby on Rails. As far as I understand, Rails builds its model according to the a specified table structuree in in the database. However, most of my applications, are for the most part (except some backend CRUD stuff) not database centric. They do a lot of calculation for the user. So, how can I create a model, when no database is needed,

Hello, maybe someone can help with backgroundrb. I''ve written an application, which makes use of backgroundrb. Everything works fine on my development machine, but it crashes on my production server. Something seems to be wrong with backgroundrb, but I don''t know the cause.

Hello, maybe someone on this list can help me. I am trying to implement a sort of long database search. In order inform the user about what''s happening, status messages should be displayed to the user while the request is working. e.g. - starting search process - currently searching through database A - found 10 results - currently searching through database B - found 25 results -

Hello, where (in which file/object) would I invoke the startup of the DRb server to support a rails application? It wouldn''t be config/boot.rb ? How would I shut it down cleanly? Greetings Michael Kastner

Friends- I see more and more folks wanting an application wide context object that will work regardless of server software(webrick,mongrel, fcgi''s, scgi''s) This can be a very useful technique if done correctly. Here is a little info that I have gleaned on a great way to do this type of thing. -----Easy AppServer---------------- An easy way to get yourself an

Hello, this is killing me: i can''t find a way to let idle sessions expire after a certain period of time. If they don''t expire, they will pile up until there''s no more memory available. Please, can anybody give me a hint? Basically, all I need is a hash or list with all the sessions in DRbStore. Greetings Michael Kastner

All, I have some data that I need to be able to see across the application. For J2EE people out there, I need something that I want to have available in the "application scope" of my app. What is the best way to handle this? I''m trying to access a class variable that I created in my controller from my view (to no avail). Create a class variable in my helper class and use

Hello, I am trying to make DRb calls to a external server from a backgrounDRb worker, but I''m getting always the next exception when I make the remote call. > ERROR: > drbunix:///tmp/backgroundrb.11175/experimenter_worker_3e899de945f0803a82cd257cfac316d0_0_0.0738904928422051 > - #<Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - >

I''m getting strange data back from my worker whenever I run our rails app with more than one dispatcher under lighttpd. just to give some info on what the app does: user submits data to rails app. rails app hands off data to worker, which goes and does it''s thing, storing results in an array of response objects (the array is an attribute of the worker). the response object

Hi, all- I started playing with RSpec in a new Rails app. I''ve installed the plugin and bootstrapped it, and run ''script/rails_spec_runner'' (not rails_spec_server as the website currently reads, btw) in a separate shell, then in another shell I run ''script/rails_spec'' and get the following: /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:837:in

I recently upgraded to 1.8.4 to try out mongrel, and so far have been in a kind of hell where I can''t get my app working! Currently running (or trying to run): Ruby version 1.8.4 (i386-mswin32) RubyGems version 0.8.11 Rails version 1.0.0 Active Record version 1.13.2 Action Pack version 1.11.2 Action Web Service version 1.0.0 Action Mailer version 1.1.5 Active Support version

Hey. I have a very annoying problem, and was wondering what is wrong. Suppose I have backgroundrb running, and then I have an action in some controller. In the action I define a worker. When leaving the action, suddenly the connection to backgroundrb is lost: DRb URI: druby://localhost:22222 Pid: 3976 Autostart... done druby://localhost:42531 - #<Errno::EBADF: Bad file descriptor -

Hi, I''m not much of a developer but I''ve been using backgroundrb for a while now and with the release of 0.2.1 it looks like I can finally upgrade from the old version (0.2.0 had some weird issues when jobs just wouldn''t run, seems to have cleared up now - Thanks!). Anyhow, while I''m doing this, I would like to tackle this problem. Most tasks I run in

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) ?

I keep getting: No connection to breakpoint service at druby://localhost:42531 (DRb::DRbConnError) Tries to connect will be made every 3 seconds... This happens every time i run ./script/breakpointer using 0.9.5 on OSX or Windows. Any ideas?

I''m developing a stateful Ruby application that needs to keep data in one location where all people accessing the site can modify its contents. This data will be read-from/written to often, so I would prefer for rails to keep it in memory, rather than a database. My frist try involved global variables. After discovering that they were being "re-initialized" with each new

Hi all! We use the DRB-Server Backend and are getting strange DRb::DRbConnErrors lately. It started with: too large packet 687865856 (druby:/10.0.0.10:9010) /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:573:in `load'' and later only this one: premature marshal format(can''t read) (druby:/10.0.0.10:9010) /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:580:in `load'' Do you have any ideas what that

In response to my Rails Weenie post today[1], someone mentioned that I try BackgrounDRb to help take the strain off my application. 1: http://rails.techno-weenie.net/question/2006/7/13/nested-loops- best-way-to-send-messages-to-blog-subscribers I''ve just tried to install and use BackgrounDRb with my app, but I''m afraid that I''m not too versed in running processes

We''ve been running into problems with ferret indexing lately. The problem is intermittent and some times it persists.
