I've had success with Eden Li's patch here: <a href="http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=15427&group_id=1306&atid=5147">http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=15427&group_id=1306&atid=5147</a>. Been using it in several production deploys for about 2 months.<br>
<br>If you're interested (and too lazy to apply the patch yourself) you can take a look at my fork of mongrel that has mongrel_cluster doing rolling restarts here:<br> <a href="http://github.com/chuyeow/mongrel/commits/stable_1-1">http://github.com/chuyeow/mongrel/commits/stable_1-1</a><br>
<br>You need to clone the repos, go into the projects/mongrel_cluster directory, and run a rake task to package the gem.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Chu Yeow<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 4, 2009 at 8:58 AM, Elliott Blatt <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:elliott@hitfix.com">elliott@hitfix.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>Specifically, this soluiton: <a href="http://blog.carlmercier.com/2007/09/07/a-better-approach-to-restarting-a-mongrel-cluster/#content" target="_blank">http://blog.carlmercier.com/2007/09/07/a-better-approach-to-restarting-a-mongrel-cluster/#content</a><br>
<br>Which means I an call to mongrel_rails cluster::restart to do this:<br><br>mongrel_rails start 8001<br>mongrel_rails stop 8001<br><br>mongrel_rails start 8002<br>
mongrel_rails stop 8002<br><br>mongrel_rails start 8003<br>
mongrel_rails stop 8003<br><br>mongrel_rails start 8004<br>
mongrel_rails stop 8004<br><br>Instead of:<br><br>mongrel_rails stop 8001<br>mongrel_rails stop 8002<br>mongrel_rails stop 8003<br>mongrel_rails stop 8004<br><br>[.....503....application offline.....]<br><br>mongrel_rails start 8001<br>
mongrel_rails start 8002<br>
mongrel_rails start 8003<br>
mongrel_rails start 8004<br><br>(yuck!)<br><br>It's has been very difficult for me to figure out where to install the hacked mongrel_cluster_ctl that Carl provides in his blog.<br>The execution path is not clear.<br>
<br>Would anyone be willing to give me some ideas?<br><br>Thank you,<br><font color="#888888">Elliott<br><br>
