The Workings r2

by Mars, at 2006-10-07 19:59, in meta-talk

I spent a some time this evening figuring out where our "Internal Server Errors" are coming from. It does look like pound is the problem. Accessing pound directly on it's listener port yields those same errors, while accessing the mongrels directly on their listener ports works flawlessly. Actually, it looks like the MySQL database ends up disk bound for many operations, perhaps not enough real RAM to go around.

Problems with Save as Draft

by Jim, at 2006-10-05 09:46, in meta-talk

There seems to be a problem with the ‘Save as Draft’ option for articles. When I select this option, I always get an error page stating:

An internal server error occurred. Please try again later.

Then, when I go back into the admin section, it shows that the article was published. Is it really published? I’m not sure.

Just wanted to welcome everyone to our Ruby website, and give it a little test drive.

Thanks to Mars for putting this together, with some help from Wayne, and thanks to Wayne for providing the hosting.

The Workings

by Mars, at 2006-10-01 20:28, in meta-talk

Our server set-up is as follows:

austinruby.com =

apache (port 80) <-> pound (load balancer) <-> mongrels (Rails servers)

We're starting out with three mongrels in the pound. Time will tell if more are required.

The original plan to serve static files from a separate virtual host has been nixed by my impatience.

See: The Workings r2 for updates since this article.
