Hi guys,
I've been trying to work out answers to the following problems for hours
but have reached the limit of my ruby knowledge! Any help will be
massively appreciated:
1) When deploying a rails app to a web server (lightHTTP) and a FastCGI
server with say 20 processes, do each of the processes run their own
ruby instance? The reason I ask is using Globalize ruby (great package
btw) accesses Local.set() which is a class method. Therefore if
requests intertwine (can't happen with threads as they don't occur in
ruby but could if processes running on same ruby instance?) users
Locales will get messed up.
2) Depending on the user logged in will depend on the database where
their data is stored (different physical machine). How can I get a
rails model to realize this? Using an ApplicationController I can
connect to the correct database (we know the number in the session), but
this causes a new connection on every request - not exactly efficient.
Ideally I'd like connections to all the user clusters established and
the model just uses the one it requires.
Thanks in advance for any help,
George
