Ok, which version of mongrel is bundled with rails-1.2? Please list the gems you have installed, because, AFAIK, script\server will only load mongrel if the gem is found.

There is no way (yet, still need to test some things) to monitor deeply if the ruyb process hang and not die. The mongrel_cluster base his "magic" on daemonize, which requires fork() and isn't compatible with win32. Its planned for mongrel_service to provide this functionality, maybe during january. > Thanks for any tips.
