Question

Ruby server very slow outside localhost (teambox)

Answer 1

A:

Are you using Passenger? I had the same problem a few weeks ago and resolved the issue by adding this to my vhost file.

 # Speeds up spawn time tremendously -- if your app is compatible.
    # RMagick seems to be incompatible with smart spawning
    RailsSpawnMethod smart

    # Just in case you're leaking memory, restart a listener
    # after processing 5000 requests
    PassengerMaxRequests 5000

    # only check for restart.txt et al up to once every 5 seconds,
    # instead of once per processed request
    PassengerStatThrottleRate 5

    # Keep the spawners alive, which speeds up spawning a new Application
    # listener after a period of inactivity at the expense of memory.
    RailsAppSpawnerIdleTime 0

    # Additionally keep a copy of the Rails framework in memory. If you're
    # using multiple apps on the same version of Rails, this will speed up
    # the creation of new RailsAppSpawners. This isn't necessary if you're
    # only running one or 2 applications, or if your applications use
    # different versions of Rails.
    RailsFrameworkSpawnerIdleTime 0

    # Keep the application instances alive longer. Default is 300 (seconds)
    PassengerPoolIdleTime 1000

Not using Passenger. I'm not running Teambox through apache, but using the python server that comes with it. I'm confused why there would be such a huge speed difference between accessing it through localhost and accessing it across the LAN. The delay happens with each HTTP request to the server. It seems more like a network issue. Once the python server receives the request it processes it very quickly. What could cause this?

My redmine (ruby, webrick) is too very slow. Now I solved this problem: apt-get install mongrel ruby /home/redmine/redmine/script/server mongrel -e production done, and redmine work very good speed! by

+1 A:

a good way to publish RoR apps is to use Nginx as a HTTP(S) reverse-proxy, associated to thin ruby server (available as a gem).

Here is a good tutorial about Nginx with RubyOnRails, and here another about thin.

I use redmine too, with Nginx and thin under a OpenVZ container, and it's working very well !
