I just got a new Debian Sarge server and followed the brainspl.at "Debian Lighttpd Rails Stack" tutorial. The only place I deviated was the version of Lighty. The page uses 1.4.7 and I spotted that 1.4.10 was available. I installed that and couldn''t get anywhere. Lighty died on first access from the test rails app, and even from a ultra basic static config. No log,

In case this helps anyone I recently finished setting up a Debian server closely following Ezra''s excellent guidance @ http://brainspl.at/rails_stack.html. I used newer libraries in some cases (and mysql 5.0) and everything worked great until the end when lighttpd wouldn''t start. I finally figured out that Lighty 1.4.9 has a problem working with rails out-of-the-box. See

I''m trying to get our app running on Lighty... I followed Ezra''s instructions: http://brainspl.at/pages/rails_stack... Currently the app runs fine with webrick, but with lighty I get 404 errors on everything. I found if I don''t edit the lighttpd.conf file to use absolute paths, it works fine. But this is not good for production because I need to run it with the -d

Hi there I''m planning to build "The Perfect Rails/Debian/Lighttpd Stack", published by Ezra Zygmuntowicz and Sean Schertell at http://brainspl.at/rails_stack.html I''m wondering what sort of constant maintanance that setup would incur. What actions have be regularly performed to keep this setup healthy and secure under normal conditions? Alder

I''ve got switchtower set up, and it seems to work fine except for one problem: It doesn''t successfully restart lighttpd. I have the following task in my deploy.rb file: desc "Restart the web server" task :restart, :roles => :app do sudo "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/lighttpd.sh restart" end This is on a FreeBSD system, so it''s using the rc script to

I started what I thought was going to be a 30 minute project on the train this morning to write a little timetracker for myself. Amongst other things (don''t have a model called Task as it conflicts with Rake at the moment, don''t have a model called Action as it disappears in the hash when you submit a form :-), I had to use Webrick as Lighty complained about an unknown

Hi guys, I''ve been chasing a problem in my web-stack: Lighttpd -> Mongrel -> Rails, and found a problem with the interaction of Lighttpd and Mongrel. If a request takes more than 5 seconds, Lighty will retry it - and then the requests / responses get mixed up in Lighty and it returns a bad response to the client. Not good. I''m convinced that the problem is

Hi guys, I''m here again with a problem. I have a rails app called brewed. It''s located /home/user/brewed. My lighttpd.conf is located at /home/user/lighty. When I execute lighty on port 80 with: /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /home/user/lighty/lighttpd.conf rails seems to work fine. If I type www.mysite.com/main/index on my browser, the page comes out well. I have my files

Hello, I have an issue I am having trouble figuring out. I have a Rails app running through lighttpd which is accessed through an Apache proxy. My apache config: <location /rails/> ProxyPass http://localhost:81/ ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:81/ </location> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/rails/(.*) http://localhost:81/$1 [P] So when apache sees /rails/ it

Friends- I have put up a small tutorial about my experimentations with mongrel clusters behind an HTTP load balancer with no front web server like lighty or apache. This little setup is extremely powerful for how easy it is to set up. I would love for more folks to experiment with this type of setup to expose any issues it may have as a production environment. I have had zero issues

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

Hello list, I''ve been developing a rails app using webrick as my server. I''m trying to change my server over to lighttpd as I am now attempting to deploy on a host that uses lighttpd. I had an older version of lighttpd installed and could never get it running correctly with my app. Preparing for deployment I decided to get lighty working and after poking around a bit I

Hi! Can somebody explain how to confiure Lighty?? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

We have our rails application running using lighttpd and everything seems fine with Firefox, but when the client is Explorer some media doesn''t get transferred from the server correctly. With Webrick, Content-Length is set when a request is made for an mp3 file. Using Firefox with lighttpd, Transfer-Encoding is set to chunked, so the Content-Length field isn''t required.

Hi, I have installed lighttpd1.4.10 on my debian server. The installation goes well and rails 1.0 do recognize lighty when I run script: ruby script\server. However, after the first request to lighty, lighty returned the right page, then shut itself down:( Did anybody had similar experience? Thanks! -Tony -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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/.

I have an existing rails application on lighttpd and I am trrying to upgrade to mongrel for the enhanced scalability it offers. I am running mongrel 1.1.1, rails 1.2.5, lighttpd 1.4.13 and ruby 1.8.5 Everything is working great except request.remote_ip returns 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.0.102 (the internal network address of the server running lighty). I''ve seen some older posts about

I have been trying to get Lighttpd working.... we have been using webrick, but want to move to a production quality web server. I followed the instructions found here : http://brainspl.at/pages/rails_stack We are developing on windows and deploying to Fedora Linux. We''re using rails 1.0. The build actually happens on the windows box and using ant transfers the code to the Linux box.

Good evening (or afternoon or whatever it is where you are), Before I start setting it all up, I have a question about lighttpd and multiple rails apps. From what I have read, it is at the minute only possible to do multiple rails apps using subdomains: typo.mysite.com hieraki.mysite.com rforum.mysite.com etc, etc and not currently possible to do this: mysite.com/typo mysite.com/rforums
