[Mongrel] deployment survey

[Kevin Williams]

> * Framework, if any (Camping, Merb, Rails, Nitro, Ramaze, IOWA, Rack...)

Merb,Rails

> * Mongrel version

1.1.3

> * Mongrel handlers used (rails, dirhandler, camping, cgiwrapper...)

rails

> * How many mongrel routes and handlers per route registered (if you
> don't know, it's probably <= 2)

don't know

> * Any Mongrel plugins used (mongrel_upload_progress, mongrel_gzip,
> mongrel_cow_cluster, mongrel_experimental...)

1 plugin I made myself, a secure download handler

> * Mongrel runners used (mongrel_rails, mongrel::cluster,
> mongrel_service, RV, others... please be *very specific* about which
> options of the runner you use. For example, some people use
> mongrel::cluster but only for the --clean functionality, not for the
> clustering).

mongrel_rails from Swiftiply with EVENT=1

> * Number of mongrels per server per app

1 (very low load)

> * Monitoring system (runit, monit, god...)

monit

> * Proxy or software loadbalancer, if any (apache mod_proxy_balancer,
> nginx, pen...)

used to use nginx but didn't need it for only 1 mongrel process

> * HW loadbalancer, if any (Netscaler...)

none

> * Caching strategy (memcached fragments, memcached object, squid,
> rails page cache, rails page fragments, ESI)

memcached fragments + memcached object

> * Whether you serve media assets via mongrel itself, as opposed to
> through a webserver

front-end webserver handles static files

> * Operating system including distribution or version (OS X 10.4.10,
> Ubuntu/Linux 7.10, WinXP SP2, OpenBSD 4.1...)

Fedora 8 on server, OS X 10.5.1 in dev

> * Architecture, via 'uname -a' preferably (x86, x86_64, Sparc, PPC,
> Arm (ha), JRuby)

x86_64

> * CPU count

2

> * Ruby version including custom distribution patches,
> (1.8.6p110+threadhooks, 1.8.5, JRuby 1.1b1, Rubinius trunk... also
> note where you got it, in case it isn't clear, for example, OS X 10.5
> built-in, Ubuntu apt, Instant Rails, direct compile from source)

server - 1.8.6p111, dev - 1.8.6 OS X 10.5 version

> * Rubygems (yes/no, version)

yes, 1.0.1

> Please mention anything else about your system that's kind of weird,
> and anything that's been particularly troublesome regarding mongrel
> deployment.

I had a hard time getting monit to set EVENT=1, eventually using a
wrapper shell script.
