We'll probably need a bit more information here.  Are you running on Windows
or *nix?  Are you using acts_as_ferret?  Are you letting Rails/Ruby rotate
log files?  Does this occur with a single instance of Mongrel, or only
behind your load balancer?  Do you snore at night? etc ;-)

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!

Joost.
