Radiant and mongrel reloading

Ruby Apps Radiant CMS
1

For the first time ever (for me :)) I set up a radiant site on a nginx

  • mongrel setup (http://vincenzomaiorano.it) and it works fine, but I
    have a problem when I update the radiant code via capistrano, adding
    an extension or changing some values in environment.rb: my capistrano
    tasks call script/process/reaper after updating the code, thus
    restarting the mongrel processes.

If I visit the site after I update I still find the older version of
the site running, without the newer extensions. If I kill the mongrel
processes and then I start them again everything runs fine.

Is this the correct behavior?

Are you using the mongrel_cluster gem? If so, I would change your
restart (1.4.1) or deploy:restart (2.x) task to look something like
this:

task :restart, :roles => :app do
run “cd #{current_path}; mongrel_rails cluster::restart -C
/path/to/your/config”
end

For debugging, check the PIDs of the relevant processes before/after the
restart to check that they actually restarted correctly.

I’m launching the mongrels via process/spawner, does it use the
mongrel_cluster gem?

The PIDs change after restart.
