HowTo: Phusion Passenger aka mod_rails for Apache
August 8th, 2008 — Posted by benedikt — Filed in Articles, Linux, Ruby, Ruby on Rails
Yesterday I decided to give Phusion Passenger aka mod_rails a try and installed it. It was dead simple to set it up and to deploy rails applications with it. I’m now using it for several “small” applications, for which the whole overhead of setting up a cluster of mongrels and...

Using RSpactor with Linux
April 10th, 2008 — Posted by benedikt — Filed in Agile Development, Articles, Linux, Ruby, Ruby on Rails
Andreas Wolff recently released RSpactor, a (up to now) command line tool similar to autotest. Nevertheless it differs from autotest in two points. First it’s focused on RSpec and secondly it’s using Mac OS’ FSEvents to monitor file changes. According to this it only runs on Mac OS. To get...

Easy SSH authentication with keychain
March 29th, 2008 — Posted by benedikt — Filed in Articles, Linux
Typing SSH passwords again and again can be a real pain. For example: Lately I started to use Capistrano to deploy my rails applications. If I want to set up the maintenance-page on the server I’ll type cap deploy:web:disable which of course prompts me for the SSH password. Then I...

June 2nd, 2007 — Posted by benedikt — Filed in Linux
It was planned to be the 30th, but in the end everything was a week earlier. The great rush of many fans to nightwish.com in order to see the band’s new voice. It all started on 23th with the leaking of Nightwish’s new single “Eva” on some online music stores....

This short tutorial is going to show how to set up Lighttpd with fastcgi on Debian 4.0 (Etch). Actually it’s nothing special but I hope it demonstrates how easy it is. ;-) What is Lighttpd? Lighttpd is a light (I bet you already guessed that … ;)), fast and secure...
Nightwish nightmares ...
May 15th, 2007 — Posted by benedikt — Filed in Linux
Somehow a funny story … but actually: not at all. I was sitting in car and traveling to the train station when I received the first SMS. The Nightwish.com server is getting slow. As we posted the studio dairy of Nightwish’s new vocalist on Sunday, I wasn’t much surprised and...

(Thanks to the excellent documentation) This was just another step in embattling the server for the 30th of this month. We’re expecting a lot of fans overrunning the website, as the...
