[Mongrel] Multiple Processes Spawned from mongrel_rails start ?
Hello, I have mongrel 1.0.1, rails 1.2.2 ruby 1.8.5 running on Centos 4.4. When I execute the mongrel_rails start -d I see that 3 processes are spawned. See below: [EMAIL PROTECTED] aaa]# mongrel_rails start -d [EMAIL PROTECTED] aaa]# ps -def |grep mong root 2743 1 9 07:14 ?00:00:01 /usr/bin/ruby /usr/bin/mongrel_rails start -d root 2744 2743 0 07:14 ?00:00:00 /usr/bin/ruby /usr/bin/mongrel_rails start -d root 2745 2744 0 07:14 ?00:00:00 /usr/bin/ruby /usr/bin/mongrel_rails start -d Is this normal? When I had mongrel 0.3.13.3, rails 1.1.0, ruby 1.8.4 on rhel 4 only 1 process would be spawned. I realize I changed versions of EVERYTHING so I'm wondering if this is now the normal behavior or if something is going wrong.

[Mongrel] Anyway to Force a start even if the .pid file exists?
I'm using monit to restart mongrel processes if they go away. With mongrel 0.3 I could issue a start command and the process would start up even if the .pid file existed (though a warning would appear). Now, with mongrel 1.0.1 the warning says I must clear the .pid file and the process is not started. Is there anyway to force it to start without having to clear the .pid?

Thanks, Wayne, but you're right, that seems a little brittle. Is there any other way to do this?

Re: [Mongrel] Mongrel Monitoring...
Oh well now lets be fair, I wrote it and then the company stopped returning my calls..:) I'm pretty sure there are available and dedicated developers. As far as the problem goes it's a bit odd because on that machine there are two mongel instances running, both being proxied by apache. One of the instances runs just a normal RoR application with pretty much static views, the other one runs on the radiant CMS. So I didn't actually do anything with the radiant one, I just unzipped radiant, setup the proxy pass and off it went. I did all the rest in the in- browser system. I believe it's the site that is *not* using the CMS that is crashing. If that's the case is there any sources other than the mongrel logs to look for major problems? Apache and the other site remain fine, just mongrel goes down.

[Mongrel] static file serving
Hi, I've got 40 mongrels running across 4 machines with a hardware load balancer as a proxy. The mongrels serve everything, even files. How screwed am I if I have a 2MB file on my site? Say 40 people are downloading that file. Are the mongrels completely locked up? Joe ___ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users

Joe ___ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users Joe, Mongrel serves static files outside of the mutex lock, this means one mongrel can serve concurrent static files. If you are sending a file with send_file or send_data it might be a problem, but if it's just all the static assets of your site then it will be fine if 40 people download the file at once you will still be able to serve traffic. However it is horribly ineficient to serve static files with mongrel, since your mongrels will be working hard at serving static files at the same time they serve dynamic content. I think you should probably run one static file webserver on one of your boxes and use rails asset_host feature to send static content to a static server. Or you could ask for rewrite rules to be put in place on the load balancer to rewrite anything with /images/, /stylesheets/ and / javascripts/ in the url to be served by the static asset server.
