Is consuming the CPU since mongrel_service is trying to restart the ruby process once it failed. Mea culpa,ruby 1.8.5 used to segfault from time to time and I've implemented that automatic restart at that time to workaround it. Since ruby is raising an error and exiting, mongrel_service is trying to restart it :P > But if you are using Rails 2.2 that could still be it, since I too have > discovered that you can't use --prefix with a Rails 2.2 app, without either > patching mongrel or patching your rails app. (I find patching the Rails app > to be easier and less scary, and can tell you how I've done it if this is > indeed your issue). > > I do think it's a big odd that Rails 2.2 has been out for so long, but > mongrel hasn't released a gem that's compatible with it, or warned people on > the project page that there's a problem, or what have you.
