How can I use EventMachine.connect_unix_domain while running Thin as a service (using the init script (excerpt) and configuration below). The code directly below is the problem (I get an eventmachine not initialized: evma_connect_to_unix_server error). The second code example works, but doesn't allow me to daemonize thin (I don't think). Does Thin not already have a running instance of EventMachine?

UPDATE: Oddly enough: stopping the server (with service thin stop), seems to get into the config.ru file and run the app (so it works, until the stop command times out and kills the process). What happens when thin stops that could be causing this behavior?

Problematic Code

class Server < Sinatra::Base
# Webserver code removed
end

module Handler
  def receive_data data
    $received_data_changed = 1
    $received_data = data
  end
end

$sock = EventMachine.connect_unix_domain("/tmp/mysock.sock", Handler)

Working Code

EventMachine.run do
  class Server < Sinatra::Base
  # Webserver code removed
  end

  module Handler
    def receive_data data
      $received_data_changed = 1
      $received_data = data开发者_Python百科
    end
  end
  $sock = EventMachine.connect_unix_domain("/tmp/mysock.sock", Handler)
  Server.run!(:port => 4567)
end

Thin Config

Thin is built on top of EventMachine. I think that you should use EventMachine for serving your app. Try to debug further way Thin won't daemonize. (What version are you using?). Also you can run Thin on another port such as 4000 and then pass that as the upstream server to your proxy-forwarding server, if that is what you want to achieve.

What I ended up doing was removing the EventMachine.run do ... end and simply enclosing the socket connection in an EM.next_tick{ $sock = EventMachine.connect_unix_domain("/tmp/mysock.sock", Handler) }.

Could swear I tried this once before... but it works now.

EDIT: Idea for next_tick came from here.
