similar to: Lighty+Mongrel: More than one connection per client?

On httpd I use ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse to forward requests to webrick and mongrel. How can I do this same thing using Lighty and Mongrel? Thanks, Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I see that the RubyOnRails.com site has migrated to Mongrel with Apache as a front-end proxy. Is that now the/a recommended setup for Rails apps? We''re still using FCGI but I''m always interested to learn more about other folk''s successful deployment choices. Across all of our sites we''re pumping out about 300k pages per day so anything that saves memory or has

Hi Everyone, I was setting up Lighty+Fcgi on our server for last *couple* ( read zillion ) of hours. I had posted my problems in my previous email. But all in vain.. So, for time being, I switched to Mongrel. And the performance seemed quite good. This is the first time ever I''m using mongrel ( Awesome stuff ZedShaw..Thanks! ). I''m wondering if there are many people around

How is the performance running RoR with Apache2 compared to running it with PHP? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am wanting to one run instance of lighttpd, many many instances of mongrel. I also need ssl but only for one of my sites. I understand that Mongrel does not play with SSL so I am forced to use Lighttpd. I think that lighttpd only handles ssl or non-ssl on any given instance. Is there a way for me to accomplish my goal of one lighttpd with multiple mongrels and the occasional ssl connection? --

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

Hi everyone, Recently, I''ve been reading about different deployment environments for rails and mongrel. One configuration I''ve started seeing is apache -> pen -> mongrel cluster. See http://errtheblog.com/post/35 as an example. Can someone explain to me the benefit of using Apache and Pen as opposed to either using apache as a load balancer or pen by itself?

Has anyone been able to get script/server to successfully use lighttpd on a Windows box? When I try to start the server I get: PROBLEM: Lighttpd is not available on your system (or not in your path) So then I add "C:\lighttpd\sbin" to the path for the console session, and it still fails with the same error. If anyone has some success with this I sure would like to know. Webrick

I''m not sure if it''s due to setting up multiple mongrel servers and proxying them with lighty, but something is keeping postgres connections around. I only have a couple Rails apps running on a new server, with not a whole lot of traffic, yet today I actually maxed out my connection limit of 100 for postgres. How do I turn off persistent connections in Mongrel? Joe --

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

I transferred a site from Lighty+SCGI to Lighty+Mongrel, and now I''m having problems with it becoming unresponsive. It works fine for about 10-15 minutes, but then attempts to access the site just stall forever. Nothing is written in any of lighty''s or mongrel''s logs. Here''s my lighty config: $HTTP["host"] =~ "www.xyz.com" {

Apologies in advance if this ignites a war of comflicting opinions.... I''m a few days away from going live with my first RoR application. It is completely database centric and each user will have his own queries so cacheing will not really help. I have a dedicated linux server being built by my hosting provider and I need to tell them which webserver to use. The databse is MySQL

I''m looking for an easy way to have mongrel only serve dynamic railscontent, while letting Apache serve non-Rails content. Unfortunately,it seems that you have to segregate the static content in its ownfolder. That was also the case with the SCGI runner. I used thetrick outlined athttp://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails/23347 to managethis. I was curious if a similar

In the following deployment of web app on ONE pc-based server,running linux,which can support the most amount of concurrent users as well as the shortest latency? 1 apache+mongrel 2 apache+mongrel_cluster 3 lighthttpd+mongrel 4 lighthttpd+mongrel_cluster 5 lighthttpd+fastcgi Thanks charlie -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I tried benchmarking the same site behind an NGINX proxy with both fastcgi and mongrel, and for some reason mongrel is performing pretty poorly in comparison. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Here''s my benchmarks for 1 fcgi: Server Software: nginx/0.4.0 Server Hostname: eship.com.br Server Port: 80 Document Path: / Document Length: 95

Is anyone using the setup described at the Rails blog? http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2006/7/3/pound-makes-lighty-and-mongrel- play-nice I''m using it in production, and the only problem I have is the same as people have described in the comments over there, namely that Rails thinks all requests come from localhost. See http://isabont.com/requestinfo for the headers. Any

I know that Mongrel is a web server that hosts rails applications. But i don''t understand what part Lighttpd (or Apache) has in the setup. I know that you can use Mongrel on its own. What does Lighttpd improve on? Thanks, Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Most of my machines have apache+mongrel running but the mongrels are using the localhost. In my production environment, I have 4 boxes. I have setup 2 http servers ( apache 2.2.4 ) and 2 app servers. They are currently using lighttpd+fastcgi. Which I am changing this week. I want to get advice from you guys before I actually do this since this is my production env. I have installed apache on the

I know most people use pound, but has anyone tried using ultramonkey as a load balancing solution between a cluster of mongrels and lighttpd?

Dear all, I am researching solutions for "how do you squeeze as many Rails apps as you can on a cluster" problem. Environment constraints are as follows: * 4 commodity web servers (2 CPUs, 8 Gb of RAM each) * shared file storage and database (big, fast, not a bottleneck) * multiple Rails apps running on it * normally, the load is insignificant, but from time to time any of these apps
