Comments on: Ruby on Rails Dreamhost plugin http://gabrito.com/post/ruby-on-rails-dreamhost-plugin Anecdotes on Java, Ruby, Sysadmin, SEO, Design, and Management Wed, 08 Oct 2008 11:02:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Marc http://gabrito.com/post/ruby-on-rails-dreamhost-plugin#comment-29578 Marc Thu, 12 Apr 2007 00:43:42 +0000 http://gabrito.com/post/ruby-on-rails-dreamhost-plugin#comment-29578 Like everyone else that reads this far, I'm using the frao_handler approach on one of the Dreamhost sites I'm developing, and there are still far too many 500's. I'm wary of the plugin though, because my team develops and deploys using Capistrano, which would make it difficult to keep the plugin off of the dev machines. Would making the code changes directly in dispatch.fcgi (as described before the plugin came out) work? Any advice at all would be appreciated.

You'll see that it *is* being a good neighbor, but AFTER it finished the request, just not in the middle of it. (Assuming of course the code ACTUALLY does what this comment says, I haven't had any 500's yet, but I could be back). Dude - If you look at this comment:

I tried to install fcgi (gem install fcgi) but it was unsuccessful.

I'm having a problem with dreamhost killing my processes for running over the memory limit. My app has 19 controllers with 19 helpers and 20 models. I have 7 plugins too. I could remove 1 controller and model since I recently refactored and removed it's need. I am also running edge rails instead of gems since I was developing a RESTful app, but now that 1.2.x is out I don't need to. Although running "gem list" on dreamhost still states 1.1.6 as the latest gem installed. Would using gems (maybe compiled in my user account folder) reduce memory usage?
