The 0.3.6 release supports Ruby On Rails much better than previously, and also
sports the beginning of a command and plugin infrastructure. There is now a more
complete CGIWrapper that handles most of the CGI usage, but still doesn't do the
MIME decoding or file upload/send (it leaves that to CGI).

=== Win32 Service Support
Mongrel now has support for running as a Win32 service right out of the
box. The support is still rough but works well enough that we decided
to release it. You can thank Luis Lavena for working on this and making
it so nice.
After you do the gem install, find a Rails application you want to run
and do:
$ mongrel_rails_service install -n myapp \
-r c:\my\path\to\myapp -p 4000 -e production
$ mongrel_rails_service start -n myapp
Now hit the port and poof, works. *Stopping the service is a little problematic right now.*
If you run into an app that's not running right, my suggestion is to run it with
the regular mongrel_rails runner:
$ cd c:\my\path\to\myapp
$ mongrel_rails start -p 4500
Since that will spit out error messages and stuff to the console. *Use CTRL-Pause/Break to stop.*

h1. Available Documentation
We've got a small set of documentation to get people going. Most of it is
geared toward Ruby on Rails but other projects using Mongrel should have their own
docs that you can refer to based on these.
* "Getting Started":started.html -- Installing and Other things
* "HOWTO":howto.html -- Doing advanced stuff with Mongrel.
* "Win32 HOWTO":win32.html -- Specific instructions for running on windows.
If there's documentation you'd like then feel free to e-mail the list or post
to the tracker.

title: Getting Started
inMenu: true
directoryName: Documentation
---
h1. 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)
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
Usage: start [options]
-e, --environment ENV Rails environment to run as
-d, --daemonize Whether to run in the background or not
-p, --port PORT Which port to bind to
-a, --address ADDR Address to bind to
-l, --log FILE Where to write log messages
-P, --pid FILE Where to write the PID
-n, --num-procs INT Number of processor threads to use
-t, --timeout SECONDS Timeout all requests after SECONDS time
-m, --mime PATH A YAML file that lists additional MIME types
-c, --chdir PATH Change to dir before starting (will be expanded)
-r, --root PATH Set the document root (default 'public')
-h, --help Show this message
--version Show version
Also every option has reasonable default options, and will complain if you give
anything invalid.
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.

title: Win32 HOWTO

h1. Mongrel Win32 HOWTO
Mongrel now supports Win32 much better than previous releases thanks to
some "great people":../attributions.html and their hard work. You can
now run Mongrel with Ruby on Rails as a windows service, ang there are
pre-compiled gems available for people to use.
*Before reading this document you need to read "Getting Started.":started.html and make sure it works.*
h2. Stopping The mongrel_rails Script
When you run the mongrel_rails script from the command line you'll have to use CTRL-Pause/Break
to get it to exit rather than CTRL-C.
h2. Running The Service
After you do the gem install, find a Rails application you want to run
and do:
$ mongrel_rails_service install -n myapp \
-r c:\my\path\to\myapp -p 4000 -e production
$ mongrel_rails_service start -n myapp
Now hit the port and poof, works (or should).
*Stopping the service is a little problematic right now.* We're working on graceful
shutdown, so be patient. The application will stop if you use:
$ mongrel_rails_service stop -n myapp
But will complain about an error during shutdown. If you try to stop using the
Services control panel then it will seem to hang. Just wait a little while then
hit stop once the service actually stop.
h2. Development Work
I recommend that you keep the service runner for doing a production run setup,
and then use a regular console with the plain Mongrel runner until we get
service stop working right.
Also, if you run into an app that's not running right, my suggestion is to run it with
the regular mongrel_rails runner:
$ cd c:\my\path\to\myapp
$ mongrel_rails start -p 4500
Since that will spit out error messages and stuff to the console. *Use CTRL-Pause/Break to stop.*
h2. Other Service Commands
There is a full set of service control commands in the mongrel_rails_service script.
This lets you use either the Services control panel or a command line script to
manage your Rails applications. What's also nice is that you can register as many
applications as you want, and even the same one with different names.
h3. install
If you want to run the same app in different modes then use the *-n* option to the *install*
command:
$ mongrel_rails_service install -n myapp_dev \
-r c:\my\path\to\myapp -p 4000 -e development
$ mongrel_rails_service start -n myapp
You can also use the *-d* option to give the service a different display name in the
Services console.
h3. start
Pretty much just takes a service name to start up. It will run and print a message
until the service finally starts, which sometimes can take 10-60 seconds.
h3. stop
Sort of works right now and also only takes a -n parameter. It has a few errors
when it tries to stop a service so we're working on making it cleaner.
h3. delete
Takes the name (-n) of the service to delete and then removes it from the list.
*This would be how you'd remove a service so you can change it's start-up options.*
