Mongrel 1.1.1 Win32 (latest) + Rubygems

Server Mongrel
1

Hello all. Hope this doesn’t appear as spam…

I am trying to run Mongrel on Win XP (SP2) for a web site (just one at
the
moment). For some reason it is giving me this error:

E:\web\app2>mongrel_rails start -p 4001 -d
** WARNING: Win32 does not support daemon mode.
** Daemonized, any open files are closed. Look at log/mongrel.pid and
log/mongr
el.log for info.

When I look for
“e:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.1-x86-mswin32-60/lib/mongrel/init.rb”
I notice that the directory is called …/gems/mongrel-1.1.1-mswin32/…

I don’t really know anything about how the internals of rubygems works
and I
assume that simply renaming the directory is a bad idea? When I rename
the
directory it loads fine, although I don’t know what the implications
are!

Thanks if you have any answers!

This is a known problem with RubyGems 0.9.5

You should downgrade back to 0.9.4 until 0.9.5.1 or greater get
released (since I think is fixed on trunk).

Oh, also remove the -d (daemonize) option from the command line,
daemonize requires fork() which don’t work under Windows.

For running mongrel_rails in a deattached (background) fashion, please
take a look at mongrel_service gem.
