Hii All, i loaded mod_xsendfile.so in apche , i added few line in
httpd.conf files
LoadModule xsendfile_module modules/mod_xsendfile.so
XSendFile on
XSendFileAllowAbove on
<VirtualHost * localhost:80>
ServerName src
DocumentRoot C:/InstantRails-2.0-win/rails_apps/src/public/
ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000/
now in my rails application i have a streams controller and inside
streams controller i have a function named download ,code for code
download is below
def download
@stream = Stream.find(params[:id])
filename = “#{@stream.location}”
response.headers[‘Content-Type’] = “application/force-download”
response.headers[‘Content-Disposition’] = “attachment;
filename="#{File.basename(filename)}"”
response.headers[“X-Sendfile”] = @stream.location
response.headers[‘Content-length’] = File.size(filename)
render :nothing => true
end
Problem is my rails application still handling this request but i would
like apache to handle this request ,can anyone tell me how i configure
apche to handle this request??

So what happens when you hit that controller ? (and did you notice
that rails’ send_file method has an x_sendfile option)

Fred thanks for responding
Actully when i downloding files,mongrel rendering things,
Processing StreamsController#download (for 127.0.0.1 at 2010-09-27

It is when i am trying to download 2.2GB of file ,file is downloaded
completely,but my worry is why mongrel is rendering things if apache is
handling download

That looks entirely normal to me - your rails code does need to be
invoked at some point in order for it to tell apache which file to
send.
Fred
But Fred lot of experts are saying ,mongerl doesn’t render anything
while apche handle the request and one more thing how do i make sure
apache is handling is request??

Amir, I’m not sure, but you might be misunderstanding what xsendfile is
for and how it works. This mechanism is not intended to serve “ordinary”
static files located in the public directory of an application. Rather,
it is a way for your controller to hand off serving a file to Apache
instead of doing it from within Rails.
So, your controller has to be involved. It’s the job of the controller
action to decide which file to return in the response and then call
send_file with that file as a parameter. In the production environment,
this has the effect that the Rails process does not respond with the
file itself. Instead, Rails sets a special header which in turn is
picked up by Apache (or nginx, lighttpd) and interpreted in such a way
that it now serves the named file.

Thanks michel
but michel i downloaded 3.2 gb of streams,but when i trying download 4
gb of stream ,i am getting only 10 mb of data…
what could be the problem
is there any restriction on file size to be served using apache
mod_xsendfile.so
module
Well the version history for mod_xsendfile says that version 0.11
fixed large file support, so i’d check you’ve got that version.
Release notes for apache 2.2 state “httpd is now built with support
for files larger than 2GB on modern 32-bit Unix systems. Support for
handling >2GB request bodies has also been added.” (http://
Overview of new features in Apache 2.2 - Apache HTTP Server Version 2.2), so I’d also check
you’ve got that. ( according to
http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Release_Notes_For_Instant_Rails_2.0
instantrails 2 uses apache 1.3.33)

Afraid I’m not a windows user (also I’ve no idea what version of
mod_xsendfile you currently have - that may not be the problem)

That’s averaging 1.8MB/s which seems pretty fast to me.
