similar to: reload controller with FCGI

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

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

I''ve seen a number of posts where someone says, "What happens if you just run dispatch.fcgi directly?" Every time I do it, I get a "500: internal server error" message. I was just curious if that''s what''s expected running it directly. I assume so, because my apps all work fine, but that''s always bugged me. Pat

Hi, >From idea to launch in less than 48 hours (those 48 hours including the new year party ;) , rails once again showed its effectiveness. Last friday I read the news about a guy who sold a million pixels for 1$ each on his homepage. After slamming my head during half an hour for not having thought of it [1], I thought I''d better spend some time on a rails project, and more as a

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 have a website up and running on TextDrive with Rails/lighttpd/fcgi. Unfortunately, as my account is a "shared server" account on TxD, they kill processes that are hogging resources (quite understandably). Unfortunately for me, my Ruby fcgi processes load up rather ... large (just under 50mb). It doesn''t take much to push it to 50mb, at which point it gets killed. Does

I''d like to take some advice and write a generator to change the scaffold.css. How do I do that? I looked on the wiki and googled it but have not found anything yet. Any help would be much appreciated. bruce

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

Does anyone have any experience with production deployment of RoR on Dreamhost? Is it now stable enough? Any tips and tricks? Thanks a lot, Tom

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.

I am struggling to understand the methodology here... I have a find.rhtml <%= start_form_tag :action => ''list2'', :first_name = client %> <%# render :partial => ''form'' %> <p><label for="client_first_name">First name</label><br/> <%= text_field ''client'', ''first_name''

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" => (

After quite a bit of searching and coding, I customized an init.d/bash script which allows me to manage multiple instances of Lighttpd server running Rails. It targets the specific PID address instead of the default binary location when starting and stopping /usr/local/bin/lighttpd process. This provides the ability in my case to have multiple lighttpd.conf files running many different instances

Hi all. I have two Rails applications. Each is on its own VPS hosted by Pipespring (excellent service btw). My app runs lightning quick - AFTER the first load. If I visit my site after a period of inactivity (i.e. no visitors to my site), it takes up to 10 seconds to load that first time. After that I can hop around with no problems. Has anyone run into this before? Ideas? - Rabbit

I was talking to a friend of mine who''s developing PHP on trax and we came up with a solution to the ruby session file problem. I''m not sure if this idea has come up before, so I wanted to run it by everyone before making any code contributations and/or talking to the Rails core about it. It seems to me that the current situation we''re in with regard to

I have found that if I initialize a flag in my controller (under def Initialize), it appears everytime I call a controller action, the flag is set to the initialize value (even though I''m not calling the initialized action). Am I observing this clearly? I don''t think I should initialize a flag in the index file. So where? Specifically, I want to know if this action is a

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

Is there a place I can get a list of "enterprise" Rails applications? Apparently, even though I''ve looked at the wiki and cited the examples there, there are some at my organization who still can''t find proof that Rails is usable in an enterprise setting. Would you fine folks be able to tell me about some large-scale projects that could be classified as

I just setup switchtower and I am very happy with it. Just one thing is giving me some headache: My development machine is windows and my deployment host is Unix. Each time I deploy I need to make dispatch.fcgi executable. I wrote my own task for that. But does there exist any smarter way to get this automated ? I think Subversion offers some possiblity to declare a file as executable, but no idea

Wondering: Does Apache shut down inactive FastCGI processes if it doesn''t get any requests for a while? My app works fine if it''s being used regularly, but it will respond very slowly to the first request after an hour of zero traffic. Is there a way to keep FastCGI ready all the time, even when there haven''t been any requests for a while? We''re deploying
