Hello, >From purely a memory consumption standpoint, is it generally more efficient to run a simple Rails app using WEBrick alongside a separate apache installation or to run Rails under FCGI and use Apache to bridge to the Web? I have looked through lots of docs and old forum posts. Most seem to center on just getting Apache+Rails running, or on speed. I am really not concerned about my

Would you bother to setup a fastcgi for a "intranet accessible" application that is like to get < 100 hits a day? David

It looks like cached-model is broken again under rails 1.1. Can anyone confirm? Note that the exception below indicates it''s trying to treat CachedModel as the class name of the model, rather than using the proper class name (which is Entry in this case, and the table called entries). This is a model using Single Table Inheritance and acts_as_tree, and worked just fine under 1.0 and

Hi! I''ve understood that the mod_ruby apache module is not recommended for running Ruby on Rails applications. But I haven''t found any information as to why that is so. Please enlighten me. And could you point me to the (currently) prefered production environment. (That can handle both RoR and PHP sites). Thank you and best regards Hans-Eric Gr?nlund -- Posted via

Hi, First of all I love Mongrel and I want to say thanks! My questions are related to how things work compared to Apache+FCGI background 1. With FCGI I would normally setup multiple FGI processes do I need to setup multiple Mongrel processes? Or is Mongrel thread based? Does the --num-procs flag work the same way? 2. Is there one database connection per process? Thanks in advance.

I can''t figure out how to compile php with fcg enabled. I found a website which gives an example of how to write options in configure http://scoops.totallyrule.com/articles/2006/02/01/mysql5-ab-package-and-php5 So I wrote ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --program-suffix=5 --enable-fastcgi --enable-discard-path --enable-force-cgi-redirect --with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

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

Hi, I found many references on the Web to the fact that "Rails is not thread-safe". However, I have not found an explanation _why_ it isn''t? What happens if multiple requests are handled concurrently by ActionPack? Assuming that the code I execute in my controller methods is thread safe, is this ok? If not -- what happens? The following makes it sound like the issue is

Hello, I have an project running on a dedicated server: Debian, P4 CPU 3.00GHz, 1GB RAM, ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [x86_64-linux], rails (1.0.0), activerecord (1.13.2) lighttpd-1.4.10 + fastcgi + mysql 5.0 7 dispatchers. The project is a game, so a typical user would visit 100+ pages. When the server is busiest, it gets 35-40k requests/hour. For some misterious reason after a number of hours the

hello, if anybody could please help, I''m very late with this project and have been wasting a lot of time (days and days) getting past the learning curve to get the infrastructure up (fcgi, rmagick... and now svn integration). i come from dirty-php-scripting and am a newbie at all of this :P I have a rails app that I''ve been developing locally on os x. originally I

Hello everyone, I was stress-testing my application (running on Rails via FastCGI) by letting two concurrent users (not human .. an app called ''siege'') a) save an Article and b) search for all Articles. I am searching via Article.ferret_index.search_each( ..) do |doc_id,score| doc = index[doc_id] .. end and writing via Article.ferret_index <<

Hello everyone! A collegue and I are beginning development on a site that will eventually need to very scalable (assuming our business model is a good idea). My problem is that I''m not a sysadmin guru, and I''m not terribly comfortable with the design of the hosting platform. We''re going to start with two servers initially (for cost reasons), and I''m considering

I''m a newbie trying to setup lighttpd. It is failing with error 500.

Hi there, I''ve got a Rails app that''s a little unusual in that it maintains a database representation of a filesystem (for an image gallery). Thus, if the filesystem is essentially ''out of date'' then the controller''s list action will end up invoking a model update (which involves a filesystem scan). I''m using sqlite3 as this app will be

I have a problem where when I try and access my site a dispatch.fcgi process is started but then exits right after the page has loaded. Requireing it to start all over agin the next time a request is made. I''ve read about people using two or more FCGI processes to help with the request load but how do people do this? Firstly, how do you make a FCGI process persistant? I''m

Hi All, has anyone ever seen it when they vist the URL in the applicaion that it just tries to download the FCGI dispatch file?

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
