Hi –

I have setup a fairly simple Rails site. It uses a layout and 4  
clustered instances of Mongrel running on ports 8001 through 8004.  
The instance of Mongrel running on port 8001 seems to work perfectly.  
For some reason, the other 3 instances Mongrel are behaving as though  
they don’t see the layout. Does anyone know why that is; and, more  
importantly, what to do about it? Thanks.

Have you got any caching on there at all?

I have my regular browser caching if that’s what you mean.  
I don’t really see how it could be a caching issue; but, I  
suppose anything’s possible.

Considering how green I am at this, I’m expecting  
that there is something I have to supply for each  
Mongrel instance that I haven’t supplied and that’s  
why it works for the first instance and not the  
others.

Anyway, thanks for the input.

How have you fired them up then? Are you using mongrel\_cluster? It’d be  
helpful if you could post your mongrel\_cluster.yml file and the command  
you used to start the cluster.
