Hey Michel:
$ mongrel_rails start
is a command specifically for launching rails apps.
if you want to use mongrel as the server for your own framework/
application, then take a quick look at the example (examples/
simpletest.rb).
http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/rdoc/
using mongrel for your ruby apps is a slightly different approch if
your used to cgi-gateways ... but it is infinitely more flexible,
since you have Ruby-based control over the whole request/response
process....
write yourself a little Handler class to take the request -> call
your methods -> modify the response.
I think there is a short mongrel book on O'Reily safari online if you
have an account.
Otherwise, the examples in the source are very helpful .... checkout
how the Camping framework uses mongrel (as this is quite simple).
I am assuming here that by non-rails...you still meen a Ruby app ...
I've yet to see anyone launching a PHP app via mongrel :)
Regards.

Hi, everyone. I am in the process of learning Ruby. I've
concluded that there are couple of quirks with mod_ruby that are
limiting me a fair bit, so I'm looking for an alternative. From
what I've read, Mongrel is The Answer. However, this has left me
with a few questions.
I'm looking for some help getting a non-rails Mongrel started...
I can't seem to find the docs I need in my web searching...
specifically need something that explains what files Mongrel
expects to see where for a non-rails app to work. Everything I
have found is written on the premise of Mongrel with Rails (eg,
http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/rdoc/index.html).

... its pretty obvious that Mongrel is expecting to find some key
files with Important Stuff in them, but I can't seem to find info
on where/what. Can someone point me at a how-to or docs that
explain what files are needed with what contents?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
