I''m doing a fotolog for a company. It''s expected to manage about 100k of connections per day and about 1500 concurrents connections. What hardware should I buy to manage those numbers of connections? I''m planning to use slackware + lighttpd + fastcgi, but perhaps we will have to reuse some scripts in php, in that case I would use slackware + apache + mod_php + fastcgi

Friends- I am almost finished with a custom live cd called Rubuntu ;-) This is an ubuntu live cd variant that comes preloaded with ruby and rails developers in mind. I already have it working with all the basics but I was wondering what extras people would like to see on this distro. What editors with what configurations? What other tools do people really like for rails development on a

For a medium-sized website, does one machine for database server (either mysql or postgres) and another for the web server (lighttpd) sound ok? How much traffic could I expect to handle? (I know it depends on the application, but some rough estimates would be nice) Joe

I''ve finally gotten lighttpd working for my production instance (SUSE 10.0 with SSL). (Had to install the fcgi dev toolkit, the SUSE 10 ruby-fcgi rpm, and the fcgi gem. I''m not positive all 3 were required, but that is what I did.) Now the devel instance of my app is broken. I''m not sure how to fix it. Previously I was using WEBrick for both devel and production.

Hi everybody, this is a little OT. We are using Lighttpd as a webserver for Rails. Our problem is that when we rotate the logs everyday at the end of the process, lighttpd stops writing the logs. To solve this we have to restart the server manually each time. We use a common Debian, lighttpd-1.4.7, Rails 1.0 and fcgi-2.4.0. I have tracked the lighttpd bugs, and I haven''t found

I just went thru the hivelogic article to get everything installed on my new mac. I then decided to run thru the ADC Rails article. In the article it says to run ''script/server'' which will start lighttpd if installed or webrick if not. When I do it, I get webrick not lighttpd. I followed the hivelogic article word for word and everything else seems to be working fine. Is

Hi there, I''m having some difficulties finding some decent info on getting Switchtower to function for my needs. I''ve read most of the Switchtower doc on http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/97, however it''s not answering some potent questions I have. 1. The doc mentions, as an example, using an SVN repos at http://svn.switchtower.com/flipper/trunk What if I

Dear experts, I have rail site that is running lighttpd and fcgi. I want the default domain to serve the rails application, and I also want to have a virtualhost (bugs.mysite) to resolve to a bugzilla instance. Bugzilla is basically Perl application called through CGI. I tried to find pointers on how to set fcgi to run both rails dispatcher and other cgi scripts in a different virtualhost, and

Hi, I''m running RoR and have set it up more or less like described in the wiki (for instance here http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/LighttpdWithProcessScripts). I can start the fcgi listener and see that ports 7000-7004 are listening. I can start lighttpd, and try to connect to the server. I can restart the default.fcgi listening scripts that i see in "ps ax | grep

My app runs fine on webrick, but I get a ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished when I try to run it on lighttpd. Here''s the app''s lighttpd config: $HTTP["host"] =~ "(www\.)?mysite\.com" { server.document-root = "/home/pergesuteore/public/" server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi" fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" => (

I am trying to get Rails running through Lighttpd, on a Suse 10 box running Rails 1.0.0 and Lighttpd 1.4.10 I followed the instructions in the wiki (http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/Lighttpd) but keep getting the same error: linux:/etc/lighttpd # lighttpd -f lighttpd.conf 2006-02-27 12:32:17: (mod_fastcgi.c.997) execve failed for:

Hi everybody I am trying to get RoR to work with lighttpd. Nearly there, but I am stuck with a strange phenomenon. If I configure lighttpd to serve pages on say port 2000, I can get at my testapp fine and see the "Welcome aboard" page. However, if I configure lighttpd to use port 80, I get a download prompt from my browser. If I access my URI like

The lighttpd config file is set up like this... Rails url: //host/controller/method/id Lighttpd tries to open the file ''controller/method/id'' from the document root. Of course this doesn''t work and generates an error 404 This gets caught with: server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi" Which turns the request into "/dispatch.fcgi" That gets caught

Hello everyone, I?ve been working with Ruby on Rails for about 2 months now and have really enjoyed the ease of use of it. I?m only been doing development on it so I?ve been using WeBrick. Recently, I have built a server running Debian Linux, with ruby 1.8.2, rails 1.0.0, lighty 1.4.3, and Mysql 5.0.18. I used WeBrick to generate a lighttpd.conf file for me, I changed the paths in the

I have a rails app on a debian server running lighttpd and I''m trying to set up typo so that it also works (with a different url). I have 4 URLs running -- let''s call them foo.com, bar.com, www.typo.com and php.typo.com I am starting lighttpd by going into the directory where my foo.com app is and typing either ruby script/server or script/server -e production -- either

Hi, So in the past I''ve developed using Apache 2.0 MacOSX. I''ve just started a new project and decided to switch over to LightTPD just to try it out. This development is purely a learning endevor for me, so I welcome the idea of stepping into new territory. As a result, I''m not sure if this is a lighttpd problem or a Rails one. So pardon me if this is off topic to

Hello all. Time for an all night installation campfire (no pun intended) story. I just helped a customer migrate from a single box to a 5 box system. 2 Lighty 2 FCGI 1 DB Everything went quite well. I scripted everything so it would be easy to add more boxes in the future. 3 scripts, one for each box type above. Then came time to get the site working. :-) Lighty came up easily. The DB came up

Using lighttpd + fcgi to power a site. When no one has accessed it in a while, the first visit to the page takes a while to load up. Then subsequent visits are fairly fast. Any ideas on how to fix it?

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 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/.
