Re: [Mongrel] mongrel/mongrel_rails windows question
On Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 7:23 PM, Russ Erickson li...@ruby-forum.com wrote: Hello! Hello Russ! Sorry for the long delay in the reply. I'm just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for running mongrel/mongrel_service under Windows (Client requires Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008, IIS7, no budget for a *nix box of any kind). I have a working setup, but wondering if anyone has any further insight. Current working setup: Ruby 1.87 (via rubyinstaller.org) Rail 2.3.11 mongrel 1.1.15 (mingw32) mongrel_service 0.4.0 With the requirement of using Rails 2.3.11 or even going to Rails 3, I will recommend avoid mongrel in this case. There are some reports of multiple cookies issues that haven't been addressed due the inability to reproduce them or provide concrete test cases. I've suggested someone port mongrel_service to provide the same support for Thin, which could be pretty trivial, but noone stepped up. With that you should be able to setup multiple services in different ports and then make the service dependent on IIS or TCPIP service so the automatic startup do not affect. Another point, completely unrelated to mongrel and mongrel_service is ensure your server have Ruby executable in the DEP exclude list. More details at this entry of RubyInstaller troubleshooting: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Troubleshooting#dep_segfault I'll be looking at using the ARR features of IIS7 to do some load balancing between a few instances of mongrel running on different ports on the same box. Sounds good, I've done the same approach in the past. I have read a lot of posts from people discussing troubles in getting Ruby 1.92 for windows working with mongrel 1.1.20pre and mongrel_service. Does anyone have a working setup of this and is it worth fighting for? 1.9.2 has some startup performance issues on Windows. starting a Rails application can take way longer than 1.8.7, but then request performance on production mode is good and pretty much up-par Linux in this area. But, mongrel 1.2.0.pre is another story. I've mentioned the cookie issue above, which could be problematic.

My platform is XP, ruby 1.8.6, rails 2.3.2. mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60,
mongrel_service-0.3.4-x86-mswin32.
I have my application working perfectly when I start it with

when I use mongrel_rails start it starts the app but on several
controllers it breaks (not all of them though -how come???) and when it
braks ti shows the
message undefined method `reflect_on_association' for Service:Module
Do you have a model called Service? mongrel_service it also contains a
module called Service, so maybe ActiveRecord might be clashing, which
is strange.
Please provide a backtrace of the error, not just the last line of the error.
When I set the break point in,the action of the controller where it breaks,
and
when the processing stop on this break point and if I type
params
It says
Unknown command: params. Try help
but If I type
eval params
it shows me the correct content of params hash:
{action=index, controller=doctor}.
Also if I type
@_params
it says
Unknown commad @_params. Try help
but if I type
eval @_params
it responds properly
{action=index, controller=doctor}
It even do not understands.
If you're using ruby-debug, you need to eval to get information from
the process you're debugging, you can't call params directly.
Please help me if you can or may be direct me to somewhere where I could
find help, advise or answers.
Please provide a full backtrace, you might be using a served word for
a controller or model that could be clashing with Mongrel, Rails or
mongrel_service.

The only documentation on the --script option I could find related to unix so I gave up on that thought. Script takes any Ruby script and execute it before starting mongrel, and is honored by mongrel_service I also tried using the --config option, but I had the same problem there: as soon as I added an option to the YAML file that wasn't documented, mongrel complained with an error. mongrel_rails start --help: -C, --config PATHUse a config file -S, --script PATHLoad the given file as an extra config script -G, --generate PATH Generate a config file for use with -C mongrel_rails start -G foo.yml ** Writing config to C:/Users/Luis/projects/secret/foo.yml. ** Finished.

It just doesn't make sense that my config file should be restricted to content mongrel understands. Wouldn't it be a better approach to parse that file and look/apply the options mongrel recognises and provide a public interface so that other interested clients can access the config file? Sorry, but is the configuration file *for* mongrel, nobody says to you that you should use it. The problem is that you're trying to use the same application, the same checkout of it and everything to run multiple instances that are different on configuration settings. Apologizes for this but that is wrong. Even sharing database.yml could lead to problems. Or are there other ways to achieve this without resorting to modifying mongrel and mongrel services startup code? Do checkouts of your application on different directories. Have per-location configuration settings like config/settings.yml that is not part of your application source code. Is kind of complicated expect the same application folder serve multiple versions of the same application.

I would avoid script/server as it loads mongrel incorrectly. So clearly, running code (that fetches custom specific command line options) before rails starts doesn't work well with either environment, let alone both. Can I know how are you doing it? I've even tried to place such code inside environment.rb which is clearly loaded before application.rb and still had no luck. Which part? the top? the bottom? Which version of rails?

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with you that a single code base for multiple different rails application is a bad idea, quite the opposite actually. If you're really interested in what we're doing, this thread explains it in more detail: http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=74217. You're preaching to the wrong choir. I was the one that originated the approach of Radiant to build applications, and make gems of Rails applications with custom settings, database and configuration files. It was called fossilize, but due the constant internal changes of Rails was hard to keep it up. Since now is based on Rack (Rails 3), it might be easy to resurrect the idea. It shouldn't be too hard to see the many advantages of a single code base over multiple code bases for serving multiple clients similar applications. Is not that is hard to see, is hard to wrap Rails around that concept Reading your post what you actually need is more in the lines of Radiant approach: * make your application a gem * use a single directory for each individual application, but still depend on the same gem * extend or change the application with extensions from vendor, that might be different from client A to client B As I said, I played with the --script option but couldn't get it to work. Here is how I start mongrel from the command line for client FOO: mongrel_rails start -e production -p 3035 -l log/FOO/mongrel.log -S config/FOO/myapp_opts.rb -c x:/myapp But config/FOO/myapp_opts.rb is never loaded (I've also tried specifying the full path x:/myapp/config/FOO/myapp_opts.rb to no avail). If this worked, it would solve my problem. So what am I doing wrong? According to this: http://github.com/fauna/mongrel/blob/master/bin/mongrel_rails#L122-125 And this: http://github.com/fauna/mongrel/blob/master/lib/mongrel/configurator.rb#L342-348 The purpose of the config script is internal of Mongrel, not to setup stuff globally for the application like Rails. ** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000 ** Starting Rails with development environment... ** Rails loaded. ** Loading any Rails specific GemPlugins ** Loading config/init_mongrel.rb external config script Also, it happens after Rails initialization. I would suggest you try the following: 1) put your init script code inside config/preinitializer.rb It gets executed by boot before Rails::Initializer.run of environment.rb. example: type config\preinitializer.rb STDERR.puts ARGV.inspect 2) Use something like MYAPP_TARGET=foo in the command line: mongrel_rails start MYAPP_TARGET=foo Will get you something like this: ** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000 ** Starting Rails with development environment... [MYAPP_TARGET =foo] [MYAPP_TARGET =foo] ** Rails loaded. ** Loading any Rails specific GemPlugins (dunno why appears twice, is like the file gets loaded instead of required) 3) Add the additional parameter to created mongrel_service manually (registry editing) At this time, there is no way to specify additional parameters. I would like to move the configuration from command line to the registry, so is more easy to manipulate. That helps somehow? Thank you for explaining in further detail your need, it helped me provide you a better alternative. Of course, there is still room for improvement, and patches are always welcomed ;-) -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.

What are these things called? They're not really options, are they? They are coming from ARGV, are not parsed by OptionParse (used by mongrel), so are just ignored and left available in ARGV. Just tried it out and not only can I trap these options easily using preinitialize.rb with mongrel_service as well as mongrel_rails, but it also works perfectly fine in script/server (sorry, I know you don't like this and I trust your judgement, but it is the only option I have when debugging under Netbeans). Hehe, well, if works for you for debugging will not say anything :) THIS SOLVES MY PROBLEM! Glad to hear that. I missed this feature completely or it is undocumented. Had I known that a couple of weeks back I could have spent a week at the beach and would still be further than I am now. config/preinitializer.rb is a hidden feature that actually nobody knows of it. It started to be more noticeable with the appearance of Bundler. Apologizes for you spending your time doing this, the mailing list should have been more exposed :( Now I've also noticed that mongrel_rails service::install doesn't complain at all if I specify such glyphs (like MYAPP_TARGET=foo). However, they are not added to the ImagePath. If you think this would be useful, I see if I can fix it and submit a patch? These options are not carried over. A minor patch that takes the left overs of ARGV and append to the registry line could work. Add the gist link with the diff to the mongrel_service GitHub issue, I'll get that integrated ;-) Many thanks again, its hugely appreciated.

Since you're executing from the command line and work, means that your user has access to these OLE objects.

Re: [Mongrel] Mongrel as a Windows Service (not running Rails)

I have implemented a simple web app on top of Mongrel and now I need to run it as a Windows Service. I explored the mongrel_service gem and it looks like I will need an executable (.exe) for this.

Inside the gem there is mongrel_service.exe (inside bin), but that only works with mongrel_rails script. While your user case is a valid one, was not considered when developed. You have a few options for your situation: 1) check mongrel_service FreeBASIC code (which is the actual service) and implement your own variation.

Previously posted on ruby talk. Response...silence :)
Didn't saw that post, sorry.
..
Perhaps someone out there can help give me a clue about the following
situation:
My mongrel processes seemed to be leaking.
As an example of this, if I added this code to the bottom of
environment.rb
Thread.new {loop do; print 'w'; end}
it didn't affect memory. At first. However after the web server got
its
first hit its memory consumption would sky-rocket. [i.e. it would
monotonically grow by about 50MB/s]
Then I ran the same scenario using webrick, instead of mongrel [1.1.3].
No leak.
Then I'm thinking 'hmm maybe it's mongrel and the mongrel guys have
fixed this.'
Update my gem to 1.1.4 from 1.1.3.
Using mongrel this time.
No leak! Yea!
Now this is the weird part.
Attempted to recreate the bug.
Uninstalled mongrel 1.1.4, reinstalled 1.1.3
uninstalled daemons [its dependency] 1.0.10, reinstalled 1.0.9 [what I
had before].
Ran it with Mongrel again [which is where it used to leak].
No leak.
I am so confused!
Perhaps rubygems was updated and so it compiled it right this time?
Note that there don't appear to be significant code changes in mongrel
from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4, though there could be, I'm not sure. It's probably
not even a mongrel problem.
Maybe if somebody else who 'suspects' a memory leak could try my code
and see if it leaks theirs, that would be well appreciated.
The good news is that maybe updating rubygems and recompiling mongrel
helps with memory leaks in rails apps.
Thoughts?
-R
OS X PPC patchlevel 111
Did you upgraded rubygems at the time you updated mongrel from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4?
Also, did you hit the same request/url during testing and recreating
this bug? (just to be sure).
I've seen lot of complains about my mongrel is eating my memory, but
as Erza commented in his Rack Rails [1], it seems lot of stuff at
Rails needs attention and lot of fixes, since they eat memory like a
hungry baby... and is not directly fault of Mongrel.
Could be Ruby, rubygems, some plugin you're using, even Rails :-P
If you cannot revert back to the version of rubygems you was using to
test the exact same environment, there is nothing more we can do
except: thank god you got that solved! :-P
Maybe you can see bleakhouse [2] and give it a whirl?

This would have meant that Evan was in total control of the source, and while I trust him, it would have made people not trust the project. Mongrel has to be housed in a neutral location so that people can get at it no matter what disputes the team might have, and outside of any corporate or special interests. RubyForge is the only place that I (and others) trust, so keep there there. Outside of that, do as you want. I keep a bzr clone of mongrel repository here, and even the latest changes I made into stable are pushed thanks to bzr-svn integration. That's all.

With this deployment strategy, if I don't set the garbage collection in my dispatch.fcgi, any rails application I use that uses image magick (for resizing/effects/etc) eats memory like a hog. In my dispatch... http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/railties/dispatches/dispatch.fcgi I usually set this to around 50 executions per gc run and my rails apps seem pretty happy. You're using *RMagick*, not ImageMagick directly. If you used the later (via system calls) there will no be memory leakage you can worry about. This has been working great for me thus far, but using mod_fastcgi leaves zombies processes occasionally during restart. Checking in with the docs, mod_fastcgi is more or less deprecated, and mod_fcgid is prefered. mod_fcgid has all sorts of issues (random 500s and the like), and to boot the documentation is quite poor. Moving from FastCGi to Mongrel will also require you monitor your cluster processes with external tools, since you're suing things that leak too much memory like RMagick and requires restart of the process. To make it clear: the memory leaked by RMagick cannot be recovered with garbage collection mechanism. I tried that several times but in the long run, required to restart and hunt down all the zombies processes left by Apache. So, I've decieded to move my apps over to using nginx with proxy with mongrel. The decsion to move the nginx is pretty minor (it's lighter weight and easier to configure), but my decision to move to mongrel warrented a bit of research. I do want to ensure that all of my applications behave properly in terms of memory consumption and the first thing I've noticed is that mongrel doesn't have the same options available for customizing when the GC runs. Can you tell me how you addressed the schedule of the garbage collection execution on your previous scenario? AFAIK most of the frameworks or servers don't impose to the user how often GC should be performed. This leads me to believe that either there's something specific to rails running under FastCGI that requires the GC to disabled/enabled during processes execution or mongrel hasn't implemented the feature yet. I'll bet is rails specific, or you should take a look at the fcgi ruby extension, since it is responsible, ruby-side, of bridging both worlds. On a personal note, I believe is not responsibility of Mongrel, as a webserver, take care of the garbage collection and leakage issues of the Vm on which your application runs. In any case, the GC of the VM (MRI Ruby) should be enhanced to work better with heavy load and long running environments. -- Luis Lavena Multimedia systems - Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

In my previous reply I provided a link to the rails fastcgi dispatcher. http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/railties/dispatches/dispatch.fcgi In addtion, in other languages and other language web frameworks there are provisions to control garbage collection (for languages that have garbage collections, of course). I'll bet is rails specific, or you should take a look at the fcgi ruby extension, since it is responsible, ruby-side, of bridging both worlds. This is done in the Rails FastCGI dispatcher. I believe that the equivalent of this in Mongrel is the Mongrel Rails dispatcher. Since the Mongrel Rails dispatcher is distributed as a part of Mongrel, I'd say this code is owned by Mongrel, which bridges these two worlds when using mongrel as a webserver. Then you could provide a different Mongrel Handler that could perform that, or even a series of GemPlugins that provide a gc:start instead of plain 'start' command mongrel_rails scripts provides. On a personal note, I believe is not responsibility of Mongrel, as a webserver, take care of the garbage collection and leakage issues of the Vm on which your application runs. In any case, the GC of the VM (MRI Ruby) should be enhanced to work better with heavy load and long running environments. Ruby provides an API to access and call the Garbage Collector. This provides ruby application developers the ability to control when the garbage collection is run because in some cases, there may be an application-specific reason to prevent or explicity run the GC. Web servers are a good example of these applications where state may help determine a better time to run the GC. As you're serving each request, you're generally allocating a number of objects, then rendering output, then moving on to the next request. By limiting the GC to run in between requests rather than during requests you are trading request time for latency between requests. This is a trade-off that I think web application developers should deciede, but by no means should this be a default or silver bullet for all. My position is that this just be an option within Mongrel as a web server. --gc-interval maybe? Now that you convinced me and proved your point, having the option to perform it (optionally, not forced) will be something good to have.

Just thinking out loud. You're talking about mongrel, or mongrel_rails? The thing with that will be force garbage collection on every request will hit (and hard) the performance of the server. Also, is not Mongrel job if the framework behind it (in this case, Rails) generate so many objects that cross 8M limit set by VM (which usually trigger GC collection).

I don't think those conditions were *removed*, I think they were
*moved*, but I've only glanced at the C code and would barely know
what I was looking at anyway. :)
No, he removed them:
http://pastie.caboo.se/141633
The ragel code will generate the http11_parser.c file, and http11.c
file defines all the functions pointers:
http11.c:207..225:
VALUE HttpParser_alloc(VALUE klass)
{
VALUE obj;
http_parser *hp = ALLOC_N(http_parser, 1);
TRACE();
hp-http_field = http_field;
hp-request_method = request_method;
hp-request_uri = request_uri;
hp-fragment = fragment;
hp-request_path = request_path;
hp-query_string = query_string;
hp-http_version = http_version;
hp-header_done = header_done;
http_parser_init(hp);
obj = Data_Wrap_Struct(klass, NULL, HttpParser_free, hp);
return obj;
}
Theory indicates that allocation happens way before the ragel code is
getting executed, so there is no need to evaluate the conditions all
the time, ending with a speed boost.
