similar to: Switching to production environment

I have been hearing a lot about workshops and/or groups of Ruby on Rails users meeting up in numerous cities, but I haven''t been too successful finding any such gatherings or events in Boston. On the wiki there is a link to a Boston group for Ruby, but the page refuses to load. Anyone from the Boston area know of anything? Cheers, Eric Czarny eczarny@stonehill.edu

Why isnt the RoR community focusing on robust and scalable mod_perl style of Apache environment, rather then splintering all over the place with lighthttp, mongrel, WEBrick, SCGI, fcgi, etc??? Its frustrating as someone who is trying to migrate to RoR. Its very unlikely I would ever get a contract to work on any webserver except Apache, so it would seem logicaly to focus all our efforts to

So I''m getting ready to setup a production environment on my boxen (running Fedora Core 3), what are my options? I''ve seen a number of posts about FastCGI, SCGI, etc. and am completely lost as to what I should be setting up on my box (that I hopefully won''t have to touch for a while). I need to run Collaboa, Typo and probably 3 or 4 other apps on this, so

Hello, I wonder what would be the most stable production runtime environment for a rails application on Unix/Linux. I am not very fond of FastCGI indeed, since it''s not seen any further developement lately. What are your experiences e.g. with the mongrel server? Has anybody used it for production? What are the alternatives? May be some fine lad could just point me to web site

Hi Guys,You can start backgroundRb in different environments using -e option. ./script/backgroundrb -e production I like to run a rake task from my worker - something like rake RAILS_ENV=proper_environment thinking_sphinx:start I am not sure how to figure out the environment with which the backgroundRb is started from inside a worker task. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for your time. Regards

I am doing some testing with the rails trunk, version I switched to because of memory leaks in 0.13.1 under linux environment. Right now the application is running fast and steady under linux, with no memory leaks using SCGI Rails Runner 0.4.3 from Zed, BUT it has become unusable under Windows (our main development environment) where I am getting a lot of segmentation faults. BUT the problem

I think I''m missing a step here, but they don''t seem to cover this in the AWDWR book... does anybody know the various steps required to switch from development to production mode in Rails? I''ve scoured the application and changed everything that stands out, but the damn thing is still running off the development database and won''t connect to the production

Hi Everyone, I''m happy to announce the 0.2.0 release of Mongrel -- the fastest HTTP 1.1 library Ruby has yet. http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/ -- ruby docs lame page. http://rubyforge.org/projects/mongrel/ -- project page. Special thanks to Tom Copland for setting up my RubyForge goodness, and to Why for kicking in time to get the Camping examples up to snuff. This release should

Hi, Love Rails... I''m looking for a Production Quality Server that brings the same ease of use as Rails does to web development. I''ve tried TextDrive, and never got it to work. I''m sure there are good reasons why it didn''t work but they are beyond me. I''ve contacted tech support there several times, and it seems that there are so many setups that

I have installed instant rails and configured it http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Getting_Started I can get typo and webrick to work on webrick localhost:3000 but cant get anything to work with scgi. When i start the scgi server i get a blank dos window screen. When i type www.mycookbook.com into the browser i get the following Unable to connect Firefox can''t

Hello, I want to put my app in production mode. So I write this line in environment.rb : ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] = "production" I restart webrick. If I write <%= ENV.inspect %> I have the correct "RAILS_ENV"=>"production" But browse my site and look the log, the development.log is still growing and the production.log stay to 0 ko

Greetings, Today I''ve been working out how to begin using Capistrano and so far I''m impressed. Even in my situation, learning Rails and deploying to a single server, it''s incredibly helpful. I do have one small question though: In using Subversion I''ve used the "ignore" feature to ignore my local database.yml file, because my local database and

Hi All, I''ve only been using Rails for a short time (working through the ''Agile..'' book) but it''s already caught my interest so much i''m loathed to go back to the PHP day job... There are a few things i''m slightly unsure about. First thing is environments. Am I right in thinking that environments are just concerning the state an

Hello, I want to start my rails application in production mode. But for some reason in spite of uncommenting this line in ''config/environment.rb'' ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] ||= ''production'' when I run ''ruby script\console'' it says loading development mode. Also, the webrick sends log messages to development.log file instead of

Or does anybody prefer fastcgi/fcgi? I''m using webrick for development, but plan on using scgi when I switch to production (because it appears to be an update to fastcgi, and I couldn''t get fastcgi working anyhow). thanks csn __________________________________ Yahoo!

Hi guys. I''m currently running under "development" mode. Whenever I uncomment the RAILS_ENV = ''production'' line in the environment.rb file, I get a "Rails application failed to start properly" error. I tried killing the fcgi process, but that didn''t help. Commenting that line again gets everything working again. Any suggestions? --Ryan

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

Hi, I have quite a problem right now. After finish of development I installed rails with fcgi and apache on my production env. Everything seems to be configured ok, but once I while I get the famous error message: " Premature end of script headers: dispatch.fcgi" I cant see any generel configuration problem, as sometimes everything is running fine. Maybe it is a problem related to

Hi all, as part of adopting Rails in my company I had to go through the hassle of setting up a Rails production environment on Win32 system since we mostly use MS SQL as our database back end and also because we mostly dealing with customers who become green-blue-purple as soon as you mention Unix/Linux and run for the door. I also need to mention that most of our web applications are internal and

hello. i''d like to share some feelings of mine after a couple of *weeks* intermittent attempts to have rails applications working on windows (XP) with fastcgi performances under apache (2.0). i''d say the software stack i''m using now will be fairly common as more and more new rails developers will join the bandwagon. what is stunning me is the fact that, even if
