pauldowman committed 76c67c82:

Restart god after changing RAILS_ENV because god stores the value of RAILS_ENV and uses it in notifications.
pauldowman committed 3586549d:

Moved files so that they're clearly related to the gem or to the server. We can do this now that we're no longer using GitHub to build the gem (GitHub's gem builder expected the gem files to be at the root).
pauldowman committed 5b10d1f7:

Merge branch 'experimental' into wip-jeweller
pauldowman committed 4bfbc59e:

Removed unnecessary semicolon.
pauldowman committed 7c4b8e03:

Converted to jeweler for gem building which allowed removal of gem artifacts (gemspec, Manifest, etc) and custom rake tasks to create those files.
pauldowman committed c07b9709:

Fixed the legacy Rails 2.2 version.
pauldowman committed 9d90ead9:

Fixed the Varnish timeouts to make them wait longer for slow requests.

Use gemcutter.org as default gem server.
pauldowman committed 39cb034b:

Make sure rake gems:install doesn't get run when we're first deploying the code before any server setup has been done.
pauldowman committed 0904a980:

Fixed some multi-instance bugs, especially the use of capture() which only executes it's command on one server (it should only be used to get some info from the server, not for things that should have side effects).
pauldowman committed 9fa1790e:

Reduce god's logging verbosity, log to god.log only (not syslog), and rotate and archive god.log daily.
pauldowman committed fe443021:

Updated to Rails 2.3.4.
pauldowman committed e493099b:

Don't do "reset master" after restoring, because this makes the backup of the newly restored instance inconsistent until a full backup is done.
pauldowman committed 221658a1:

Allow the /nginx_status page to work, even if the maintenance page is up, and change the regex for the /warmup url.
pauldowman committed 8a4a0774:

Reverted failed attempt to evaluate in_role? every time the web check is executed.
pauldowman committed aa7e7760:

Evaluate in_role? every time it's used when deciding which port to use to monitor nginx.
