similar to: Webrick in production?

I''ve just started creating a web application with approx. 100 tables. Possibly more. Oracle is the DB. There exists a legacy schema I that i will use some of. So far i have created a small bit of the app, approx 10 tables. Im using webrick on my local machine. The Oracle DB is on its own server. My boss has noticed that its not really that zippy, there is a small delay between

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

Hi all, On theserverside.com there is an article describing an interview with Bruce Tate, where he calls Java dead like Cobol. See: http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=39066 However in the comments, some guy comes up with a good point: He states the following: <quote> I couldn''t come up with a viable enterprise quality/grade deployment platform for RoR. Even

Hello All, Yet another release of Mongrel proudly pushed out for everyone to review and comment on. This time though, I''ve done up a little website that''s *way* better than the plan Rdoc that used to stand in for the site like a one-legged leper. * http://mongrel.rubyforge.net/ As you should already know, Mongrel is a fast HTTP server and library for Ruby partially written in

A small note to all the FreeBSD folks about Ruby performance. While trying to tune Mongrel to run faster on FreeBSD I was stumped as to why it was so horribly slow compared to Linux. Linux on the same machine was getting about 800 req/sec, and FreeBSD was maybe pushing 23 req/sec. Pathetic. I managed to tweak the thread model in Mongrel and get FreeBSD up to about 210 req/sec but still that

Hello, I''ve been using NFS for sharing files across a cluster of servers but I''ve had a lot of problems with that. I''m planning to move to MogileFS which seems to be more stable and more adapted to this usage (lots of user uploaded files). I wonder if someone has already worked on an integration of MogileFS into Mongrel (and Rails app) for serving the files ? If not, I

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

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

In a functional test, I want to call an action in another controller (a login) before testing things in the current controller. As far as I can tell from the extremely sparse documentation and the AWDR book, this seems to be impossible. The post() functions takes an action argument only, and that''s that. Surely I must be misunderstanding things? -- Calle Dybedahl

I currently have a fairly simple Rails application running on FreeBSD under Apache 1.3 and normal CGI, and the performance I''m getting is alarmingly poor. I realize CGI or WebBrick are quite a bit slower than FastCGI, and I''ll probably use one of those instead when I have the time. However, I''m just curious if CGI is really supposed to be that slow, or if

Hello, I have a few models -- book, cd, dvd -- for which I''d like to have an abstract base superclass to hold some common stuff. That abstract class, I was thinking, would inherit from ActiveRecord. Didn''t work, though, and looking around, I found this: <http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoMakeAbstractModel>

Hello Folks, This is the big release of Mongrel that''s been in the works for a while now (well, like a week). It is chock full of changes and features, but mostly it syncs up the Win32 side of things, and validates that Edge Rails works without problems. It also features a more extensive and useful example of the GemPlugins called mongrel_config. First the usual stuff for people

Hello Folks, This release of Mongrel should make the win32 folks go crazy. Thanks to Luis Lavena it supports a full service system for installing any Rails app as a service. This lets you start your rails apps from either the command line or the Service console. Stopping is still a bit problematic but we hope to have that solved in the next release. You win32 folks should probably send Luis

Been doing some research but haven''t been able to determine much - has anyone had any experience parsing incoming [on the request] x.509 certificates? Specifically, getting name, CA, etc. Here''s how you do in Java Servlets for reference: X509Certificate[] certs = (X509Certificate[]) request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate"); Thanks. --

Hello, I came to know of mongrel by pure chance, it interrested me cause webrick never worked and instantrails for rails was very slow. the problem with webrick is/was is that it says just this: >ruby script/server c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rexml/entity.rb:21: warning: character class has `-'' without escape c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rexml/entity.rb:21: warning: character

I would like first to introduce my self to the community. I am Steve Beyer and I am interested in learning Ruby, ROR, and how to set up a production server. I am going to use OSX for my client/developement system but I would like to get some advice on what operating system you would recommend for a production server. I want to use Mongrel to start and then move up the ladder as my

Can someone tell if there is a reason models shouldn''t access the session? Models could easily be made to access the session or some other shared persistant data store such as a file or a table. _This is the problem_, a model needs to know certain information eg. the id of the current user. But the model has no idea about anything outside of its self, because it can''t access

I updated to ruby 1.8.6p111 last night and updated some gems and now mongrel doesn''t work: MacOS 10.4.10 $ ruby --version ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i686-darwin8.10.1] $ gem list rails *** LOCAL GEMS *** rails (1.2.5, 1.2.4, 1.2.3, 1.2.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.0, 1.1.6) Here''s a simple test: $ rails test5 create ... $ cd test5 $ script/server => Booting

Hi list I''ve got a bit of a philosophical question. After just having discovered Selenium /Selenium IDE and the rails selenium plugin I''ve realized that it''s a whole lot easier to do functinoal testing than writing the traditional rails functional tests. However it implies that the development database consists of standardized test data (e.g the test & dev

Hi, what is the preferd way to configure/start mongrel? [ ] with Mongrel::Configurator => HttpServer [ ] @var = HttpServer.new(...) @var.run I ask because the only debug methode i have found was in Mongrel::Configurator ;-) @Zed: are you also subscribed on nitro list?! regards Alex
