Re: SwitchPipe Development Effectively Stops

I was using Switchpipe and then started to use Phusion Passenger. Now
I'm thinking to switch back because of resources consumed by
passenger. When running only one instance of Typo blog (http://
[link]) the processes look like:

Rails: /var/www/vhosts/csonrails.net
Passenger FrameworkSpawner: /var/www/vhosts/csonrails.net/ vendor/rails

SwitchPipe Development Effectively Stops

2008-06-02T14:21:10Z

SwitchPipe was started as a stopgap solution for easily deploying Ruby
Web applications.

Phusion Passenger 2.0, released today, now deals with Rack, so
theoretically any Ruby app can be tailored to work with it, resolving
the deployment issue. [link]

Re: Switchpipe die after large file upload

I suspect that upload is taking longer than the timeout? SwitchPipe
will timeout if a request is not completed within a certain amount of
time. This time can be defined / tweaked in config.yml.

Switchpipe die after large file upload

2008-05-31T18:10:43Z

Any reason why is switchipe failing together with one of two thins
(only one stay alive, the one, which switchpipe was not using) when
file largen than aprox. 2.4 MB. Standalone thin can handle larger
uploads with no problem.

Yes, I have to look deeper (as I'm not a Ruby specialist)

Yes, but I use NGinx and I feel ok with it. Maybe I should try that,
mainly for the challenge.

If SwitchPipe's doing that, then either the app is not responding
within a certain number of seconds, and SwitchPipe is then forcing a
restart (I think this is in the settings) OR the app is simply not
responding or SwitchPipe cannot connect to it. I have not come across
a Rails application, at least, that takes more than 5 or 6 seconds to

Oupsssss !

Thanks for your help, it was simply a path problem : the good one
should be path: /var/www/nginx-default/rorprot rack
Now it works for a little useless app. I've tried to set it for
another one, but switchpipe kill and restart indefinitely the thin
process.
I'll have to look futher deep before asking for some help.

Start from something simpler, and work your way up. That should
highlight where the problem is.

Also, you need to make sure that wherever "thin" is located is within
your path. SwitchPipe will go to /var/www/nginx-default/rorprot ack and
then run:

thin --socket /tmp/switchpipe-[[RANDOMISH NUMBER HERE]].sock -u www-

I try since several hours to make Switchpipe to launch Thin instance
via socket to deliver service for a rails app.
Here is the switchpipe app config file :
---
type: thin
socket_type: unix
user: www-data
group: www-data
path: /var/www/nginx-default/rorprot ack
max_instances: 3
timeout: 9

Or both. Even though .htaccess will be in file cache, it'll still add
time, and being prepared to deal with regular expressions will keep
rewrites a little slower too. I will try and update the documentation
with your example for those who are interested :) (Once I play with it
myself, of course - I have something your tips might suit deployed

This is a FreeBSD specific init script I'm afraid. Linux works in
quite a different way to the rc.d system of FreeBSD. At least that's
as I understand it.

As shell scripting is pretty generic, it may be possible to turn one
or the other into a generic script by testing which platform it is

Re: Prevent proxying of static assets

2008-04-23T19:28:58Z

It just seems simpler than using rewrite rules (to me).

Testing on FreeBSD 7.0 64 bit platform, Xeon 2.33 Mhz dual core, this
arrangement only seems to add about 1ms overhead using Switchpipe as
opposed to just sending the request to a mongrel instance alone.

Using rewrite with .htaccess files uses about twice that. Don't know

Re: Working on FreeBSD

2008-04-20T18:19:41Z

Just a question..

Am I going to need to have an init script for BSD and one for Linux?
Or are the additions you've made pretty generic in terms of rc.d init
scripts?

That is a really cool example you've given; thanks! I didn't realize
you could do that with ProxyPass.

Excellent work, and thanks for the information! I'm going away for two
days tomorrow but will get this sorted out at the weekend. I'm also in
the middle of migrating SwitchPipe to Github so that contributions
will become a lot easier :)
