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:

Sounds good, I've done the same approach in the past.

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.

Again, sorry for the long delay in my reply and hope these answers help you out.

For me this solution wasn't working.
I dunno if it is a change from Rails3 or not, but the method checking 
for ssl requests expects a different request header:

      def ssl?
        @env['HTTPS'] == 'on' || @env['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'] == 
'https'
      end

I modified my proxy config to set the correct header (this is the 
resulting line)

     # Set header to indentify https requests for Mongrel
     RequestHeader set HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO "https"

After this, everything was working. This is how my config looks in the 
end:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  Include sites-available/common/my_site
  ...
</VirtualHost>

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
  Include sites-available/common/my_site

  SSLProxyEngine on
  # The values for these three checks are already like this by default
  # Just know that they can be used for more complicated configs
  # SSLProxyCheckPeerCN off
  # SSLProxyCheckPeerExpire off
  # SSLProxyVerify none

  # Set header to indentify https requests for Mongrel
  RequestHeader set HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO "https"

  SSLEngine on

  # Server Certificate
  SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/my_certificate.crt

  # Server Private Key
  SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/my_private.key

  ... othere SSL settings ...
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>


# Content of sites-available/common/my_site

ServerName my_site
ServerAlias my_site *.my_site

DocumentRoot /path/to/public/folder/of/my/app

<Directory /path/to/public/folder/of/my/app>
  AllowOverride all
  Options -MultiViews
</Directory>

<Proxy *>
        # Review this if you need more restrictive access
  Order Allow,Deny
  Allow from all
  Deny from none
</Proxy>

# Even for https, we redirect to http
# We already set HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO to https in the 443 virtual host
ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000/
ProxyPreserveHost on

I hope this helps other people too!

Subject: [Mongrel] Rows go missing when seen through APACHE but through
 Mongrail, works fine.
Message-ID: <d9f55c9155db29db8d963b59a5b2bb33@ruby-forum.com>

Hi,

In my site, I have implemented a functionality where we can fetch upto
100000 rows and display all of it at one shot on the GUI, through Java
interface.

Now, when I start my client through mongrail ( ./script/server -e
production ), I can see all the rows that get fetched from the DB.
However, through Apache, some of the rows go missing at random ( the
number of rows that go missing is random ).

Also, in the Java Console, I see the exception
"Java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Match Found", which again is random
( I mean rows go missing with or without this exception on the screen ).

I am using IE-7. Also, I found the missing rows, but we can see them on
the GUI, if the count of rows to be shown on GUI is less ( say around
100 ), but the issue of missing rows through apache is being seen only
if the count of rows to be shown on GUI is 1000 or more.

Please suggest, its kinda urgent.

Regards
Abhishek
