I’ve just launched a site[1] for the Web 2.0 Expo conference, and I’m  
encountering the strangest problem: Oftentimes a page won’t load on  
the first click, but if I stop the request and re-click the link, the  
page loads just fine.

1: [http://www.conferenceer.com/](http://www.conferenceer.com/)

Has anyone experienced a problem like this? More importantly, does  
anyone know how I might fix this problem?

(Also: My site’s running on a SliceHost box with Ubuntu, Apache2, and  
three Mongrel instances.)

best,

Jacob P.

What shows up in your Apache and Mongrel logs the first time you send  
a request? How far down the stack is it getting, if at all?

Hi Chris,

The Mongrel log looks clean, but my Apache error log for the app has a  
bunch of entries like this:
