So I am using the instructions here to have mongrel_cluster start my various mongrel-deployed apps on server boot. http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/wiki/MongrelCluster
There is a problem mentioned here: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/105849 In summary---if the server (or the mongrel processes) die ungracefully leaving their pids behind, then on next boot, mongrel_cluster won't succesfully start them up, choking on the leftover pids. What is the reccommended solution to this? I'd like to have my mongrels automatically start on boot, in a way that forces them to start even if there are stale pids. Thanks for any advice! [ PS: I just discovered this problem the hard way, when my server unexpetedly lost power, and my production apps failed to start up on the next boot! Very unpleasant. ] Jonathan -- Jonathan Rochkind Digital Services Software Engineer The Sheridan Libraries Johns Hopkins University 410.516.8886 rochkind (at) jhu.edu _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
