Re: Mongrel with mephisto on a Virtual Private Server

Apache 2.0.x has mod_proxy which will allow you to proxy a single request. I use it all the time. IMHO, perfectly fine for a single instance blog. Apache 2.1 and above (so 2.2.2, 2.2.3, and 2.2.4) have this new fangled mod_proxy_balancer which let's you perform a "load" balancing of sorts and let apache do some serving of images and cached pages. Many of the other lightweight frontends like nginx, pound, and pen do a similar software load balance (and there's talk of lighttpd's proxy_core getting rewritten to do a similar round-robin, balancing load proxy). Regardless, don't load balance your blog yet -- you need metrics before you blow all your RAM serving up 8 mongrel instances when only one will ever get used. No offense, meant, honestly. I'm just saying. ;-) cheers!

Attention FreeBSD Gurus

I received this piece of code in a patch that turns on the FreeBSD http filtering. I completely missed that it calls /sbin/sysctl directly which means I'm slipping on my auditing. def configure_socket_options case RUBY_PLATFORM when /linux/ # 9 is currently TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT $tcp_defer_accept_opts = [Socket::SOL_TCP, 9, 1] $tcp_cork_opts = [Socket::SOL_TCP, 3, 1] when /freebsd/ # Use the HTTP accept filter if available. # The struct made by pack() is defined in /usr/include/sys/socket.h as accept_filter_arg unless `/sbin/sysctl -nq net.inet.accf.http`.empty? $tcp_defer_accept_opts = [Socket::SOL_SOCKET, Socket::SO_ACCEPTFILTER, ['httpready', nil].pack('a16a240')] end end end I'd like to know the following from the FreeBSD crew: 1) Are there any potential malicious potentials to this? I don't assume any intent, but would like to know if I need to rush out a fix if there's a hackable problem with this (even theoretical). 2) What would be the un-ghetto way to do this same check?

We can't go 24 hours without ferret segfaulting mongrel on the most completely random searches ever - and the change to mongrel 1.0.1 from 0.3.13.4 seems to leave the pids laying around more. The --clean seems to be working great in my monit-initiated restarts (in production mind you :-) ) and now I can happily ignore trying to find the segfault needle in the ferret haystack again(*) Thanks Bradley! Jason (* yes I know it's completely lazy to ignore this. But a) laziness is a require virtue of systems management and b) trying to find a random segfault in thousands of lines of C code is no longer fun to me ;-) ) -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jason Young -- Systems Manager, eXtension http://about.extension.org/wiki/Jason_Young ______________________________________
