Mongrel 1.0.2 on Ubuntu Feisty

Hi everybody,

I’ve been trying to setup a Ruby on Rails application on a Ubuntu Feisty
machine and I’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure out why Nginx and
mongrel_cluster weren’t working. The setup was correct (based on some
tutorials found on the internet), but there weren’t any pid files for
the
mongrels started.

In case anybody else has experienced the same problem, it seems that
gem install mongrel will install version 1.0.2 (which is rather strange
since
there isn’t such a version on Rubyforge, it’s either 1.0.1 or 1.0.3)
which
is broken. I found a typo in configurator.rb on line 63 where instead of
target_gid it was just target_id. Forcing version 1.0.3 fixes the
problem.

However, I’m wondering why v. 1.0.2 gets installed. Any ideas?

There’s been some problems with the Rubyforge gem index recently; Tom
Copeland is working on the issue I think.

Hi,

In Debian-like systems, I suggest you to install the ‘mongrel’
package, even if I risk starting a new flamefest in here :wink: Having
different package management systems in the same OS (in this case,
.deb packages and Ruby Gems) can lead to anger and pain. And, as we
all know, that’s just the first step down towards the Dark Side.

I’m unsure whether Ubuntu Feisty includes a packaged Mongrel - I’m
currently co-maintainer for Mongrel in Debian, and it’s at 1.0.1
(although I plan on upgrading today/tomorrow).

Gunnar,

Come to #mongrel-dev on Freenode if you have any issues or questions.
The setup.rb stuff which you probably use might be a bit shaky,
because I’m not very experienced with it.

Thanks,

A bit late, as the job was far too easy in the end :wink: Congratulations
for such a clean release! I reported this setup.rb bug in the tracker:

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=15369&group_id=1306&atid=5145

Anyway - I have 1.0.4 ready, but it has not yet hit Debian as we just
had a spectacular hardware crash in our main mirror machine :-/ I hope
it will be fixed Real Soon Now ™.
