I'm using mongrel-0.3.13.3-mswin32, the latest publicly available mswin32 gem, along with mongrel_service-0.2, though I'm not using the service in development. I tried to install 0.3.19 but got odd compilation warnings when I did so and the server failed to start. > You are starting it using mongrel_rails or script/server? script/server > > I've had a couple of crashes > > occur during development that give me pause, however.

So you believe I've run into a bug in ruby-1.8.4-mswin32? Looked to me more like an unhandled exception in activesupport, but the rails folks seemed to think that was not the case. > Lastest mongrel_service gem provide what you need, if somehow > the ruby process die (due a unhandled exception) the service > will automatically spawn a new one.

If I can help in this endeavor in any way, please let me know. I'm a beginning ruby developer, but I've been doing web development for time out of mind and I have a copy of visual studio 2003 if needed for compilation. > Will be very helpful if you provide more information about > your database (and version), mongrel, rails, ruby and windows > version to we could get a better picture of your situation. Sure thing. I'm using mssql2k with the ADO driver, mongrel-0.3.13.3, rails-1.2rc1, ruby-1.8.4, winxpsp2 (but will be deploying to win2k3). I am using RMagick with file_column, though the crashes have not (yet) occurred while testing that portion of the application. > Regards and good weekend, Thanks for your help and for your work in providing rails folks with a potentially workable solution for win32 deployment! It would not be my choice for a production environment, but it's out of my hands. - donald _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
