Hi Joe: If you've installed the mongrel_cluster script in /etc/init.d, it will by default use /etc/mongrel_cluster as the path for the configuration files. That script calls 'mongrel_cluster_ctl' (which also defaults to /etc/mongrel_cluster). So, an easy way to debug is use 'sudo mongrel_cluster_ctl start -v' to see why the mongrels are failing to start.
