I'm a bit surprised I can't find anything about this in the mailing list archives. Basically since Mongrel 1.0.1 I've had Mongrels fall asleep without any real cause. A deep sleep, actually more like a coma. The mongrel in question (I'm using a cluster of three) can not be revived. A cluster::stop, then cluster::start is nessesary.
A ::restart would not help, but no ruby processes were left running. The comatose Mongrel's pidfile would still be there though. I can find no apparent reason in the logs, but this situation did occur VERY frequently, most often overnight. I run a very agile site with lots of restarts, so maybe it has to do with that (no restarts during the night, a memory leak somewhere?). It started with Mongrel 1.0.1 but .... just a few days before I upgraded to Mongrel 1.0.1, I upgraded to Rails 1.2. So I'm not sure who's the culprit. A few days ago I switched to the lsapi RailsRunner and the problem has disappeared, so Mongrel definitely is involved. Just thought I'd give it a mention. Ant btw Zed: the .nl welcomes you, the land of cheese and clogs. Actually it's nice here, you should visit us someday!
