Reported by Sylvain | April 9th, 2008 @ 04:42 PM | in 1.0
I'm trying to use Thin as my rails webserver on a Synology NAS.
the server is put on a chrooted debian.
When the server is started, I have the following error:
>> Using rails adapter
>> Thin web server (v0.8.0 codename Dodgy Dentist)
>> Threaded mode OFF
>> Maximum connections set to 1024
>> Listening on 0.0.0.0:3000, CTRL+C to stop
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): unable to create epoll descriptor: Function not implemented
Aborted
uname -a:
Linux DiskStation 2.6.15 #571 Sat Feb 2 01:53:35 CST 2008 ppc GNU/Linux
debian version:
lenny/sid

that is weird, looks like epoll is not available or something.
Can you try to install latest version of eventmachine?
sudo gem install eventmachine --source http://code.macournoyer.com

I installed eventmachine 0.10 but still the same issue.
Is it because I'm chrooted?
what is supposed to give epoll? glib?

Doing
sudo gem install eventmachine --source http://code.macournoyer.comshould install EventMachine 0.11.0
check you have 0.11.0:
gem list -l eventmachineAre the thin and EM gems under the new root? I don't know a lot about chroot, but I think you need to link all required libraries under the new root. But epoll is built inside the kernel.
Maybe you have an old kernel, epoll was added in 2.6, what's your kernel version? run:
uname -rIf that's the problem, I can add an option to disable epoll and fallback to poll which is not as fast but is implemented since a long time I think.

Oops, sorry, didn't see the " --source http://code.macournoyer.com" first time.
The chroot is "complete" because it's a complete debian, except the Kernel which is retrieved from the underlying system.
But my Kernel is a 2.6.15.
I don't know if epoll() is an option to this kernel, so I'll try to see that.

Hi,
sorry for the delay
It doesn't work even with the last version of eventmachine
I have "epoll.h" in the chrooted environment but because I use the non-chrooted kernel, it's pretty useless.
I've sent a email to know if epoll is supported by the kernel.
Regards

Can you try applying this patch that disable epoll.
Go to your Thin gem installation dir (something like /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/thin-*
then
patch -p0 < disable-epoll.diffLet me know if this fix it
