Is anyone using ferret with Mongrel/Mongrel-cluster?
The first one or two times I access the ferret index it works fine, but
then it throws a write lock error
StandardError (: Error occured at <index_rw.c>:703
Error: exception 6 not handled: Could not obtain write lock when trying
to write index
):
I need to do more testing on this to narrow down the problem/solution
but just wanted to throw out the question to see if anyone was using
this already succesfully or if someone (Dave? 
knew why ferret might
choke on this setup.
I’ve been developing using lighttpd as a server without any problems
-Debian sarge built like

but I’ve just started testing on a production server
-Debian sarge with with Apache 2.2, mod_proxy_balancer and Mongrel built

(I put in the links in case anyone else is interested in deploying their
own rails server - these links have been gold to me)
