Hey folks, I have the following situation: I have a secure server, and I''d like to run multiple Rails apps without dealing with setting up multiple secure servers, with their fixed IPs, etc. So, I want to do https:// secure.domain.com/app1/ and https://secure.domain.com/app2/ etc. In lighttpd this is possible using a combination of relative_url_root in each app (in

Hi, I''ve recently been trying to setup Mongrel behind Pound so that I can do mutual SSL authentication. I''ve had a few problems with Pound (documented at [1]), but now have it working correctly. However, I think there is a problem with Mongrel and how it deals with the headers Pound adds to the HTTP header block. One of the extra headers Pound adds is

For those of you using Pound with Mongrel, the latest dev release allows for the single line certificate behaviour that Jeff wrote the patch for initially. I''ll update the wiki to make mention of it once we''ve been able to do some testing with it.

Hello, I''m experiencing a strange, but very bad behavior with Mongrel 0.3.13.4 and Pound 1.8. Every 6 hours or so one of our nine (not consistent on which one) application servers ( each one running several mongrel processes ) will start leaving lots of socket connections with pound open. This leads to "Too many open files" errors. I''ve set pound to close connections

Hi! I run a mongrel cluster with 6 mongrels in it. I want to monitor them individually for process hangs (and then restart them) and this is the solution I came up with: Here''s my configuration file for monit (/usr/local/etc/monitrc): [snipped relevant bits] ------ #check lighttpd process check process lighttpd with pidfile /var/run/lighttpd.pid start program =

I was about to write a long post about how I couldn''t get request.ssl?to work in Rails behind Pound and Mongrel, but then I figured it out. In your pound.cfg file, just add: HTTPSHeaders 1 "X-Forwarded-Proto: https" Assuming you''ve got Pound working correctly with SSL, this will giveRails the header it''s looking for. If there''s any interest in a Debian

I''m creating a Rails application which will be deployed to desktop machines, running both the webserver and the browser (it''s a test- taking application which needs to be able to run without an internet connection). For this reason, I''ll be running Mongrel or WEBRick, without an Apache/ Nginx in front of it as you would normally do. The browser will access the Mongrel

Hello, I noticed that mongrel would work very nicely with something called Pound to get https access to a rails app. However, I think Pound isn''t available for the windows platform? Is there any other nice lightweight load balancer like Pound that I could take a look at to get https with mongrel and rails? Cheers, /Erik -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Hi Folks, There was an error in the Pound documentation at: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/pound.html Basically the documentation has a sample config that only configures one backend for one service, which isn''t what people want. You actually want *three* backends in *one* service. Please go check that your configuration looks like the current documentation. Thanks. -- Zed A.

Hi, I''ve noticed an issue (or what I think is an issue) with mongrel_cluster: in the config file, I tell it to store pid files in / tmp/ and when I start it they get saved there, but when I run restart or stop, it says it can''t find pid files. Problem being: it looks for pid files in /path/to/my/app/tmp/. Is anyone else aware of this? I have lighty forwarding to pound

Hi, It seems that webrick cannot handle too much client and that luke is making mongrel the ''default'' server to use so i wanted to switch to mongrel. Then i read that i cannot use directly mongrel like webrick because it does not speak SSL. So my issue is : how to be sure things stay secure in the way that the proxy should be the one speaking ssl and making client ssl

Does anyone know whether the mongrel upload progress plugin works with nginx? It works fine for my app under pound, but not with nginx. I am using DRb to handle the uploads as detailed at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/upload_progress.html . If I am using pound I can see the uploads with irb -r lib/upload_client.rb , but cannot if I am using nginx. Does anyone know anything more about this

Fyi, here''s a write-up I just posted on deploying Rails with Mongrel(s) behind Pound: http://blog.tupleshop.com/articles/2006/07/08/deploying-rails-with- pound-in-front-of-mongrel-lighttpd-and-apache Rob

Hey all First off, ive just switched to using mongrel_cluster and pound - its working a treat! Its far far faster than fast-cgi: operations that took a few seconds on fcgi now are almost instant with mongrel. Excellent! However, I''ve been trying to decide how best to utilise my equipment most effectively. I have a dual pro 3Ghz Xenon with 2GB RAM, and the server will be running a few

I followed the tutorial from Coda Hale[1] on setting up Mongrel/Mongrel_cluster and Apache to move away from my current Apache+FastCGI setup. The mongrels are all working fine, and Apache is proxying all dynamic requests through to the cluster using proxy balance. Strange thing is now, that all my images in public/images aren''t loading at all, if I access them directly I just get a

Hey Everyone, A few folks have contacted me about writing documentation for Mongrel. There''s a lot of blank pages on: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/index.html And I''ve got only so much time. To make it easier for everyone who wants to do this, I''ve written the following instructions: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/contrib.html This should hopefully get

Hi all, I''ve been spending quite a lot of time trying to install a decent RoR server on my dedicated server (Ubuntu 6.06 LTS), and now, everything works. However, the performances are not really what I had expected... I would like to know what you think about it. Here is my config: 2GHz VIA proc, 1Gb RAM, SATA-II HD. I have apt-got ruby 1.8.4, mysql5 and installed rails 1.1.4 by

All - I''m working on an eCommerce app built on rails. It will be relatively small at first and I''m not expected too much traffic. I''m considering either Pound+Mongrel or Apache+Mongrel. My question is this: I want several pages in the app to be standard http (home page, about us page, etc) but I want the credit card transaction piece to be secure using https and SSL.

Hi All, I''m experiencing a problem when using pound with Rails. My set up is I have a machine acting as a load balancer running Pound. This listens on port 80 and directs requests with a particular URL to two backend servers both of which are serving my rails app using mongrel cluster on ports 9000,9001 and 9002. There is a problem with sessions even though I am storing the session data

I was using lighty+fastcgi before, and it was working pretty well, but I decided to move to Apache+mongrel because I really really like Mongrel. Well now I found out about lighty+pound+mongrel [1] and I think I''m going to give that a shot. I definitely prefer lighty to Apache - it''s pretty ridiculous how much fewer resources it uses. Anyway the only thing I''m going to
