Users, Adminstrators and SYSTEM have "Full control" over the relevant folder. Ok, some progress: I removed everything and reinstalled Ruby 1.8.4 (down from 1.8.5) Even with the correct parameters (I checked, double checked and everything) I get the same results: * mongrel_rails .... -> Application runs * mongrel_service console single .... -> Can't connect to application. I looked at "netstat -a" and no process is bound to port 3000 * service -> doesn't run Then on the same machine, I created a brand new application: > rails test > cd test > mongrel_rails start -> Application runs > mongrel_service console single -e development -p 3000 -a 127.0.0.1 -l "log/mongrel.log" -P "log/mongrel.pid" -t 0 -r "public" -n 1024 -c "c:\Program Files\xxx\test" -B And now the application runs.... So there must be something in my application that makes it fail, when it's run as a service. Without any logfiles, that's pretty difficult to diagnose though... Any more ideas? thanks for your help jc _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
