Getting Started - -The easiest way to get started with Mongrel is to install it via RubyGems -and then run a Ruby on Rails application. You can do this easily: - - $ sudo gem install mongrel - $ cd myrailsapp - $ mongrel_rails start -d - -Which runs Mongrel in the background. You can stop it with: - - $ mongrel_rails stop - -And you're all set. There's quite a few options you can set for the -start command. Use the *mongrel_rails start -h* to see them all. - - -h2. Win32 Install - -Windows has a slight difference since it seems that the win32-service doesn't -get picked up for some people as a dependency. You'll need to do this instead: - - $ gem install win32-service (pick the most recent one) - $ gem install mongrel (pick the win32 pre-built) - $ gem install mongrel_service - -Now you're installed. "Read the Win32 HOWTO for more instructions.":win32.html - - -h2. Updating - -You should be able to do an *gem update* and get the latest version of Mongrel -on any platform you've already installed it on. The caveat to this is if -you've been grabbing test releases from any of the authors directly then -you'll need to *gem uninstall* first to make sure you don't have any buggy -stuff lying around. - - -h1. Help For Commands - -Mongrel uses a fairly comprehensive command/plugin system (documented in the near -future) that has built-in help thanks to optparse. Just pass a -h to any -command and it will dump the help for you: - - $ mongrel_rails start -h - -Also every option has reasonable default options, and will complain if you give -anything invalid. - -See the "HOWTO":howto.html for information on each option and what -it does. - -h1. Running In Development - -Mongrel turns out to be really nice for development since it serves files -much faster than WEBrick. I'm using it for almost all my development Ruby -on Rails work these days. What I do is the following: - - $ mongrel_rails start - -And then do my work like normal with WEBrick. You don't get all the logging -and stuff you get with WEBrick (planned for a future release) but otherwise -it's nice and snappy. - - -h1. More Information - -There's a "mailing list":http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users that -you should subscribe to if you're looking for help or are interested in tracking -Mongrel. We post announcements of pre-release gems you can play with to this -mailing list and also discuss development of Mongrel there. - -Before you start asking for features you should read about -"bikeshedding":http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/B/bikeshedding.html and -understand that we're really nice, but sometimes code speaks better than rhetoric. - -Finally there's lots of other "documentation.":index.html |
