Alright, solved my problem. Don't know if it'll help Matt, as well. The key is in the documentation comment for daemonize:
# You must call this *before* frameworks that open files # as otherwise the files will be closed by this function. Looking at the examples/builder.rb script, I see that daemonize is indeed called before listener (perhaps this should be made more explicit in the docs). So, below is a working test script. The one other thing I added, was to specify the port to listen on. :) Oh, no pid file is created, no matter if I give :pid_file to the Configurator.new call or to the daemonize call as in builder.rb. - Dimitri --- begin script "test.rb" --- #!/usr/bin/env ruby require 'mongrel' $mongrel_debug_client = true Mongrel::Configurator.new( :port => 9000 ) do daemonize( :cwd => "/tmp", :log_file => "/tmp/test.log" ) listener do uri "/", :handler => Mongrel::DirHandler.new(".") end run end.join --- end script "test.rb" --- _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
