it's hard to configure apache correctly, even if you discount for the step of finding /etc/apache2/modules/mods-enabled/41_my_unfavorite_module.mod .. if its any consolation, i can't get apache to not unescape the URLs before handing off to mongrel, even when manually constructing the proxypass URI and explicitly leaving out any unescape statements.. i had a similar experience trying to configure mod_perl, and weird performance issues like the one above (when using fastCGI anyways).. > > I'm no amazing system administrator, so I'm hoping that it's something > I did wrong and stupid and having a 300 second timeout is just a > mistake I made. > > Any insight? try ngina or lighty if its ust a random halt then finally a failure (or success), it coudl be a DNS issue.. _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
