I made a clean install of my system yesterday, and installed ROR and  
related items using the script from nubyonrails.

Now whenever I start the server, it stops after a couple requests. If I  
force it to start using webbrick, it works OK. I even created a fresh  
rails app to test it and I continue to get the same problem, so the  
problem is definitely not in the code.

Does anyone know what the problem might be, and how to solve it?

Mac OS X 10.3.9  
Ruby 1.8.4  
Rails 1.0  
Lighttpd 1.4.8

I’ve pasted fastcgi.crash.log here:  
[http://rafb.net/paste/results/080BXF63.html](http://rafb.net/paste/results/080BXF63.html)

All the other log files do not show any error.

Thanks  
Arpan

I tried searching for that line, but could not find it. In which file is  
it?

Thanks for the help.
