Welcome to Rebase 38. Suggestions for projects to cover are always welcome, check out the criteria here. In the meantime, check out this preview of some neat visualizations using the GitHub API of how developers are connected:

The last Passenger release, 2.2.10, has a bug that causes Apache to freeze when used under moderate load (Phusion say high load but we’ve seen it on quite moderate conditions).  We recommend that anyone using Passenger 2.2.10 upgrade to 2.2.11 asap.  Ubuntu Hardy packages are now available in our repository.

At Rails Machine, we have recently seen problems on a few deploys where Apache’s workers become overwhelmed and unable to serve new requests, even static ones. While we haven’t identified the root cause yet, we suspect either a recent update to The Browser Which Shall Remain Unnamed causes it to abuse the length of time connections stay alive or there may be something lurking in the recent 2.2.10 Passenger release.

The other day Brandon Wright emailed me about the following tweet:

Just deployed full page caching on Harmony. Our log file stopped spinning by which made me happy and sad.

I was having few projects on my MAC and was really bugged up with maintaining the port numbers and other stuffs, a real cumbersome.

After, Jacek’s thought on this, I had set up the following:

Install the gem:

sudo gem install ghost

after that add a virtual host

sudo ghost add paddy.local (a choice of your virtual host)

Install the Passenger gem:

sudo gem install passenger
sudo passenger-install-apache2-module
