Hi all, I''m deploying my first rails app. I''m using lighty and fcgi, and cannot get the app to go into production mode. I deploy via Capistrano. When I dump ENV, RAILS_ENV is still ''development''. Is something overriding the lighty config? Here is the lighty config: var.appname = "mcalogin" server.port = 1411 server.modules =

Has anyone tried to add another environment. When developing I develop locally, deploy to a UAT environment for checking that my stuff fits into the organisations infrastucture and user testing and then deploy to production. test and production are fine. The main problem is that development (I currently hack the the database.yml and drop the test branch to loose some local development mocks

The deployment scenario... Apache2 on shared host, proxying to lighttpd, which has 3 external fcgis running on localhost. The fcgis are managed by spinner/spawner. We''re noticing a definite speed issue on "first requests" to this site. For example: * Hit the site a few times, paying no attention to load time * Wait x period of time (haven''t quite narrowed this

Hi, I thought I''d give lighttpd and FastCGI a go but the latest version I''ve found for fastcgi is 2.4.0 which was released in January 2003. Is this the right version? Can anyone recommend the versions I should use for FastCGI et al and where to find them? I''m not sure I''ve really found what I''m looking for... -- Posted via

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.

Hi, just out of curiosity: I have a RoR website, and till now I used to deploy it by hand. Now I''ve deployed it automatically, and after this the web site response is much faster. I don''t know if capistrano did something else too, though the speed of how the site runs has increased a lot. there is another thing though: I''m using a shared account on textdrive, and there

After a lot of work (and much promising) I have written instructions on various methods to deploy Rails applications in a Windows environment. For those of you who are not stuck with Windows, this won''t matter too much to you, but I think this is really useful for those in Windows shops. Topics covered: * Serving Multiple Rails Applications on Windows with Apache and Mongrel * Integrate

Gang- We are getting ready to launch our ROR application; the last item remaining is the deployment platform. For testing, we had used Apache + MOD_FastCGI. I am not that impressed with it; sometimes it has strange effects. For example, when we start the application, for about 5 minutes or so, the app is very unstable and it gets better over time. My questions is .. should I go with (1)

Hello, Iam trying to use Shovel deployment as explained here http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel. Iam currently using windows as my development environment and *nix to deploy the application.

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.

When I run lighttpd 1.4.10 [on Mac OS X] the socket file is called ''fcgi.socket-'', versus ''fcgi.socket-0'' that I get under 1.4.8. Further, when the FCGI daemon quits, the file does not get deleted, and I cannot restart my Rails app until I manually remove it. Can anyone confirm before I raise a bug at lighttpd.net?

Hi all, I just updated lighttpd from 1.4.8 to 1.4.9 and it now refuses to start with the following error: 2006-01-24 23:12:24: (mod_fastcgi.c.989) execve failed for: public/ dispatch.fcgi No such file or directory 2006-01-24 23:12:24: (mod_fastcgi.c.1015) the fastcgi-backend public/ dispatch.fcgi failed to start: 2006-01-24 23:12:24: (mod_fastcgi.c.1019) child exited with status 2

I have noticed that occasionally (about 50% of the time) when i deploy (using capistrano) my app to a production server, i have to ssh into the box and manually stop and start backgroundrb to get it to load my workers. this is my basic setup i have 2 workers: lib/workers/mp3_worker.rb => takes a hash of params to downsample an mp3 lib/workers/flv_worker.rb => takes a has of

Hi, everyone. I''m getting a production server ready for a site I''m working on, and I''ve been a bit stumped by a difference between the development server (running under Webrick) and the production server (running under lighttpd). Here''s the scenario: I''m working on a variation of an e-commerce system. When someone finalizes an order with our
