Re: free vs. paid heroku app performance

It's in the best interest of any web site operator to know when their
web site is down external from your hosting company regardless of
platform, language, or baseline hosting provider's functionality.
When I get a phone call at 2am that the web site is down, I should
already be on it.

It just happens that it has the same benefits for spun down processes.

I understand where you're coming from in regards to all the free sites
but most likely the operators of those sites are leveraging Varnish
and site monitoring is simply going to hit the same cached route.  We
can only work with what we have, if they want it done differently -
give us the option.  Besides, I pay plenty a month for it to work in
my situation.

Re: where is the support?

2010-08-28 Thread Steve Wilhelm
fyi. I was having a similar problem.


- Heroku receiving push
- Rails app detected
- Configuring New Relic plugin... done.
   Installing the New Relic plugin... done.
   Compiled slug size is 10.8MB
-
Launching...
failed (Heroku error)
 ! Previous app version is still running, try pushing again
shortly
 ! We've been notified, see http://support.heroku.com if the
problem persists
 ! Heroku push rejected, app timed out during publish

error: hooks/pre-receive exited with error code 1


making a change to a config file seemed to clear up the issue.

 David,

 I finally got a chance to reply on the support ticket; was away from
 computer until now

 tried both suggested options but not working

 Thank you for reply

  Your slug compile might have gotten stuck. Try pushing another trivial 
  commit or changing a config var to trigger another compile.

  Cheers,

   I have executed

   heroku restart
   heroku maintenace:off

   multiple times both run without failure

   I can even heroku console and execute commands at that level, it is
   just that all web requests hit the maintenance page
   nothing is written to the logs, seems like maybe some type of caching
   issue on the Heroku web servers?

   doesn't seem like anything that can be solved without intervention
   from heroku?

   Heroku support where are you?

Re: free vs. paid heroku app performance

2010-08-28 Thread Dennis
I think I have to agree with Stefan - *particularly* when it comes to
staging. Why not take the cheapest entry level package for staging for
a month  - any outfit that advertises rock solid ruby platform
should give good to excellent service for even the cheapest paid-for
package.

I totally agree with your previous post and its sentiments - the need
to be aware of, and working on, the problem when the client calls at
2:00 a.m. is critical - it has to be one of the worst feelings ever to
have your client inform you the site is down and not be aware of it.

However the discussion started on the topic the free account's
(staging) performance ... doesn't surprise me it's poor to fair ...

heroku create command appears to hang

2010-08-28 Thread GarethLAtWork
Been waiting a long time now for my heroku create command to finish.

I can see the app when I log in to my account on heroku.com, but I do
not expect to be able to work on the app until the command finishes.

Anything I should check?

Thanks.
