I've set up Passenger in development (Mac OS X) and it works flawlessly. The only problem came later: now I have a custom GEM_HOME path and ImageMagick binaries installed in "/usr/local". I can put them in one of the shell rc files that get sourced and this solves the environment variables for processes spawned from the console; but what...
I've tried restarting apache and the cached pages still appear, so there must be a folder someplace. I don't have a 'public/cache', so what other places should I look? Is there a URL flag that could trigger this effect as well? ...
I have a Rails app that I have successfully tested with Mongrel and Webkit. Now I want to test deployment. I set up a VMWare Image using Ubuntu 8.04. I have installed Rails following this method https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RubyOnRails with the exception of using Gems 1.3 instead of 1.2. I have configured and installed Passenger...
Ok, so I have a Rails app set up on DreamHost and I had it working a while ago and now it's broken. I don't know a lot about deployment environments or anything like that so please forgive my ignorance. Anyway, it looks like the app is crashing at this line in config/environment.rb: require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'boot') ...
I'm using Mongrel::DirHandler to control response headers for static files - this works great on my dev machine. My production machine uses Passenger so my headers aren't getting set. How do I control headers for static files when using Passenger? snippet from my environment.rb: if defined? Mongrel::DirHandler module Mongrel clas...
I'm having trouble getting a rails app on Dreamhost's Passenger to see compiled libraries in my ~/opt/lib directory. I have to put them here because I don't have root access. I can boot up my app in ./script/console and it sees them libraries just fine because I updated my .bash_profile's LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to inclu...
Hello - I have installed Phusion Passenger 2.0.3 on Apache 2.2.3 on Centos 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP and I am getting the following on the httpd error log Cannot initialize Passenger in an Apache child process: Could not connect to the ApplicationPool server: Broken pipe (32) I have removed the modules that Passenger conflicts with as per...
I've installed passenger a little while back and when I restarted my mac tonight, Apache2 won't start. Here is what I get. Anyone have any ideas? Re-install Apache2? dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libaprutil-1.0.dylib Referenced from: /usr/sbin/httpd Reason: no suitable image found. Did find: /usr/lib/libaprutil-1.0.dyli...
Hi, I just moved my apache/mongrel setups to use passenger and I started noticing my index page is getting hit pretty aggressively (approx 5000 hits a day) I chucked in some logging and it turns out the ip address (REMOTE_ADDR) is showing up as "::1" for these hits. Has anyone seen this kind of activity? There must be a reason for ...
We're having great results with the Phusion stack (Passenger and Ruby Enterprise Edition) in house, but I haven't been able to find much in the way of data on their use in the wild, particularly REE. I'd love something akin to WWR's High Profile Organizations Using Rails or Ben Forta's Who's Using ColdFusion? list. There's some google g...
Installing Merb on Ruby Enterprise Edition (OS X) throws this error, any ideas? sudo gem install merb ERROR: Error installing merb: invalid gem format for /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20090113/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/cache/ParseTree-3.0.2.gem Deleted the gem cache but the problem persisted.

Is there a way to limit the amount of memory Phusion Passenger uses when serving up your app? My host comes by and kills the process after I get a bunch of traffic and so I end up serving up blank pages. Is there anything I can do to say "hey don't use any more than 100Mb and only spawn 3 processes no matter how overloaded the site is"...
Hi All, I just installed Apache 2, Phusion Passenger and Rails 2.2.2 on Centos 5.2 64 bit server. My mysql database is latin1, and my setup works on php server, and my rails setup is also working besides character encoding with the data from database. I have set meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso8859-1" (omi...
I have a Rails 2.2 web app running on Passenger / REE I set the default locale in config/environment.rb config.i18n.default_locale = 'en-GB' The first request seems to have no locale set in I18n.locale If I the visit a page with a before_filter that sets I18n.locale every subsequent visit to any controller even if it doesn't have tha...
Is this even possible? I have a Rails app running on Passenger and a mod_perl site that need to run on the same server. I've tried setting up two VirtualHosts and I've tried just using one VH and an Alias/Location for the mod_perl. In both cases, Passenger tries to serve the mod_perl app and tells me it can't find the correct files. ...
I use Apache + Passenger to host some Rails applications. Something seems to go in a sleep mode when there is no request for a longer time. It then takes 10-20 seconds for the site to load. Feels like there is something that has to wake up when there have been no requests for a longer time. How can I fix that? I have enough RAM so it sh...
After I touch tmp/restart.txt and my app restarts, the first request throws an error, usually something about not finding Haml::Engine or some other gem. The second and subsequent requests all work fine. I was having this problem on Dreamhost which was running Rack 0.4.1 and Sinatra 0.3.3 but after moving to my own host and running a ne...
I'm having a very strange problem. I'm getting a collection of Rails ActiveRecord models back from the database but the first model in the collection does not have the model attributes/methods, just the standard ActiveRecord base methods. The rest have all the attributes. And it's only doing this on my production debian server using Pas...
I'm having ruby instances from mod_rails go "rogue" -- these processes are no longer listed in passenger-status and utilize 100% cpu. Other than installing god/monit to kill the instance, can anyone give me some advice on how to prevent this? I haven't been able to find anything in the logs that helps. ...
I'm trying to get a trivial Django project working with Passenger on Dreamhost, following the instructions here I've set up the directories exactly as in that tutorial, and ensured that django is on my PYTHONPATH (I can run python and type 'import django' without any errors). However, when I try to access the url in a browser, I get ...
