I've got three Mongrels spawned, each hovering around 40MB each. I also just checked memory usage, and that doesn't seem to be an issue at all.
When I try to pound the server, it's not killing off the processes, which is what is weird to me. Usually when I get the 503 error it is because mongrel isn't spawned, but in this case all the processes are up and running fine, and the connection works about half the time. It's just every few actions it will fail. Any other ideas? - j On 7/6/07, Will Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > VPS you say? How much memory do you have allocated to you?
