I am starting my mongrel processes with mongrel\_rails cluster::start or sudo mongrel\_rails cluster::start starting port 8000 starting port 8001 starting port 8002 starting port 8003 and they appear to have started, but they haven’t mongrel\_rails cluster::status gives me missing pid\_file: /var/www/railsdeploy/current/tmp/pids/mongrel.8000.pid missing mongrel\_rails: port 8000 missing pid\_file: /var/www/railsdeploy/current/tmp/pids/mongrel.8001.pid missing mongrel\_rails: port 8001 missing pid\_file: /var/www/railsdeploy/current/tmp/pids/mongrel.8002.pid missing mongrel\_rails: port 8002 missing pid\_file: /var/www/railsdeploy/current/tmp/pids/mongrel.8003.pid missing mongrel\_rails: port 8003 Why could this be?? I have opened up the permissions so all can access these, I have even tried it at 777 but I get the same results. If I add dummy pids to the directory it notices they are there and gives me errors on start up so it is recognizing this directory, but not bothering to add the pids or start up… Somebody help! Many thanks Richard ---

Did you tried to start just one mongrel? mongrel\_rails start and check if your application is not failing for other reasons. ## – Luis L.

I exactly have the same problem. It happens with ubuntu 8 and also got the same problem with debian 5. When just run one mongrel, it works, but when use cluster, got that problem. Any idea? I use ruby 1.8.7, rails 2.3.5 and mongrel cluster 1.0.5 Luis L. wrote: > On Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 5:23 AM, Richard McIntyre > [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) wrote: > > > starting port 8002 > > > > these, I have even tried it at 777 but I get the same results. > > > > If I add dummy pids to the directory it notices they are there and > > gives me errors on start up so it is recognizing this directory, but > > not bothering to add the pids or start up… > > > > Somebody help! > > Did you tried to start just one mongrel? > > mongrel\_rails start > > and check if your application is not failing for other reasons. > > ## – Luis L.

I was not setup the permission correctly. When checking on mongrel log, got permission denied error. but everythings seems ok after correct that stuff. Thanks.
