Intarweb while drunk: Rails, Mongrel, Apache, Capistrano and You

Scott Rippee @ 8:53 pm January 6th, 2007

It’s true, Apache + FastCGI is a horrible, horrible solution, unless your problem is “how can I waste my time on a dodgy server config?” in which case you shouldn’t be using the Intarweb while drunk.

I’m currently putting together a Rails, Mongrel, Apache configuration (maybe capistrano….). I was glad to find this article while looking how to use apache, with mod_proxy_balancer, and Mongrel instances.

    It turns out that mod_proxy_balancer only exists with apache 2.2 and I’m sticking to the 2.0 Gentoo package. There is, however, an alternate solution. See Load-balancing Mongrel with Apache 2.0 for a solution using mod_apaches map randomization for the mongrel ports.
