I've set the RAILS_ROOT to absolute path inside boot.rb, for older apps this needs to be done manually replacing
RAILS_ROOT = root_path with RAILS_ROOT = File.expand_path(root_path) And class auto loading will work after chdir() too. I've submited this in ticket #4045. As for mysql: new database connection is needed after forking. My refresher.rb now looks: Kernel.daemonize ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection The second line can be avoided if no AR class was encountered till that point. But it cant hurt to write it down anyway. Does this qualify for a no-brain solution? Or should it be more creative, letting AR reconnect automatically once after fork? I think this could be perhaps too much magic. Mysql handles are just one kind of resources that cannot be shared.
