[Rubycocoa-talk] booting a rails app from RC

[Tim P. <he...@ti...>]

Hey chaps

I dont suppose if anyone knows if there is a way of booting a rails  
app (with mongrel) from a RC application is there? I guess I just  
need some programatic way of starting starting mongrel and then to  
check periodically if it is still running?

Cheers

Tim

Might want to check + see how Locomotive guys are doing it  
underneath ...

Hey Jon

As far as im aware there using Lighttpd/FCGI rather than mongrel, so  
the setup would be quite a bit more complicated I should have  
thought. I have been looking at the rails "script/server" command  
boots its mongrel instance, and they seem to be using (from the rails  
source) a method called "load", with this code:

   trap(:INT) { exit }

   begin
     silence_warnings { ARGV = parameters }
     load("mongrel_rails")
   ensure
     tail_thread.kill if tail_thread
     puts 'Exiting'
   end

They do some other configuration before hand of course, but the thing  
is, I am not sure what load() its actually calling? Sorry thats out  
of a left field but I just wondered if anyone knew?

Cheers

Tim

Kernel#load)

mongrel_rails is in the bin/ directory of your mongrel gem install  
install.

Not necessarily true ... Rails will boot the server in the order  
listed below, I think you may be looking @ older source(?) ...

server = case ARGV.first
   when "lighttpd", "mongrel", "webrick"
     ARGV.shift
   else
     if defined?(Mongrel)
       "mongrel"
     elsif RUBY_PLATFORM !~ /(:?mswin|mingw)/ && !silence_stderr  
{ `lighttpd -version` }.blank? && defined?(FCGI)
       "lighttpd"
     else
       "webrick"
     end
end

Hey Tim,

NSTask could also be used to launch mongrel within the appropriate  
Rails app directory.

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSTask_Class/Reference/Reference.html

NSTalk might be more reliable than the Ruby core equivalents,  
especially since you target OSX.

Hey Tim,

I'm also using the solution mentioned by Laurent atm in an application.
Unless you need to be able to interact more than via HTTP this is a
good viable option.

My 2 cents :)

Cheers,
Eloy
