I have not been so lucky in my experiments with the new mod\_rails… I’ve installed it on a server previously running mongrel clusters. I followed the instructions to the letter. The server is a FreeBSD 7.0 Apache is version 2.2 with MPM-prefork There are no other sites running on the server except 2 Rails apps. No PHP compiled into Apache. I can setup mod\_rails and run Apache and its sites with no problems. However within 4-8 hours, the sites become unresponsive. All Apache processes are now reported by “ps aux” as . I cannot restart Apache with “apachectl restart”, I have to reboot the entire server. I cannot find anything inside the logfiles that gives any hint to what is happening. I am totally clueless. I’ve now gone back to mongrel until I find out what is wrong. Any hints? Suggestions to where I should look? I hope it is not inappropiate to post about this here… - Carsten ---

We’ve noticed that quite some people can’t find the discussion board/ mailing list, but we don’t know why. Could you provide us with some insights as to why you couldn’t find it? That information might be useful for improving the usability of our website. Regards, Hongli L. ---

The fact that it has (commercial) in front of it? It wouldn’t be immediately obvious to me that that links to both commercial & non commercial support as opposed to just support, which happens to be commercial in nature. Fred ---
