Putting the daemonize before the listener call fixes the problem for me as well.
Below is a skeleton camping app script that should reproduce the original problem. Just run it using the ruby interpreter. This is on a Linux 2.6.x box (openSuSE 10.2) so it's definitely not just a BSD issue. -------------------- require 'rubygems' require 'camping' require 'mongrel/camping' Camping.goes :MyDaemon module MyDaemon module Controllers class Foo < R '/' def get render :foo end end end module Views def foo xhtml_strict { head { title "Test" }; body { "Blah" } } end end end if __FILE__ == $0 config = Mongrel::Configurator.new :host => "0.0.0.0" do # putting daemonize here works #daemonize :log_file => '/tmp/mydaemon.log', :cwd => File.dirname(File.expand_path(__FILE__)) listener :port => 9999 do uri '/', :handler => Mongrel::Camping::CampingHandler.new(MyDaemon) setup_signals end # putting it here doesn't :( daemonize :log_file => '/tmp/mydaemon.log', :cwd => File.dirname(File.expand_path(__FILE__)) end config.run.join end This e-mail message is privileged, confidential and subject to copyright.
