Dave, Not using Textdrive and not seeing the error message, it is difficult to help you. Can you post the issues you are having? If you are using a hosting provider, and they recommend doing something, there might be a good reason for following their advice. However, it could just be that they have not added documentation to support mongrel which is IMHO the state of the art deployment scenario for rails.
Rails on Fastcgi+Lighttpd is very tightly-coupled, and therefore debugging is difficult when something goes wrong, as you might now be experiencing. Rails+Mongrel+Apache/Pound is not; you can easily deploy one of them and test independently, and then add more servers to your cluster when you want to scale, among other things.

I'm using lighttpd because I'm using Textdrive as a hosting provider and they seem to strongly recommend it. They even have a tutorial and everything, which I followed to the "T" and still had problems. I'd switch to Mongrel, but since I've never deployed an app before I kind of needed some serious handholding. What are the reasons for choosing mongrel or apache over lighttpd? Apache would be pretty convenient, actually, since I work for a website that uses apache, so I can ask one of the developers for help. Thanks!
