Dear Luis, Thanks a lot for replying, I followed your advice and it revealed the problem: it was the --prefix switch that caused it. When I start it like E:\RailsApps\3vi>mongrel_rails start -e development -p 3001 -a 127.0.0.1 -l "e:/RailsApps/3vi/log/1.log" -P "e:/RailsApps/3vi/log/mongrel.pid" -t 0 -r "public" -n 1024 --prefix "/labelyzer" I am given a ton of errors: ** Starting Mongrel listening at 127.0.0.1:3001 ** Starting Rails with development environment... ** Mounting Rails at /labelyzer...

And if I skip --prefix, it's all fine. Any ideas?

Any ideas? > > > > Thanks, > > Mike Pliskin > That behavior is normal with mongrel_service. has been implemented in a way that the ruby process automatically restart in case of a failure, which is seems is happening in the background. To debug this, please start mongrel standalone: cd my_app mongrel_rails start Doing that, you should see, on the console, what is happening. Please paste the results on your reply so I can help you out.
