VPS you say? How much memory do you have allocated to you? Rails takes A LOT of memory. I've seen Mongrels running rails eating up 20 Mb EACH for *very* simple actions. I recall people on this list mentioning 50+ Mb when RMagick is involved.
Make sure you're not hitting the memory limit on your VPS, which triggers killing off the process, or parts thereof. == Will Green Joey Geiger wrote: > I get that when I start up apache and there isn't a mongrel available to > answer. > > I think in your case it may be that all your mongrels are busy, and > it's letting you know that.
