Mongrel cluster configuration

Server Mongrel
1

So I’m using ec2onrails which launches mongrels like:

mongrel_rails cluster::start -C /etc/mongrel_cluster/app.yml -clean $*

Where app.yml looks like this:

user: app
cwd: /mnt/app/current
port: “8000”
environment: production
daemon: true
pid_file: log/mongrel.pid
servers: 6
group: app

The question is, I have installed the mongrel upload_progress plugin,
and according to the docs I need it to read a script (mongrel.config)
in the config folder of my app:

uri “/”,
:handler => plugin("/handlers/upload",
:frequency => 1,
:drb => ‘druby://127.0.0.1:2999’,
:path_info => [’/assets.js’]),
:in_front => true

The docs say to use a command like “mongrel_rails start -S config/
mongrel.config”, which works when I hack it into the local rails
script/server process, however the -S options doesn’t appear to be
valid for for the mongrel cluster::start command. Can this
information be put in the app.yml file somehow? Is there a way to get
the cluster to read the script file?

Thanks,

Just one more ping on this. I can’t get upload_progress working on my
server without it, but no one seems to know how to set it up. I’d
appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Yes, thank you. This turns out to be correct, I had figured it out on
my own finally. Nevertheless since you where the only person to
answer, much less correctly, you get the prize. I’ll email you
privately with the gift certificate.

Thanks,
