Hi, how do i enable http request logging in mongrel, when there’s  
nothing sitting in front of mongrel (ie, all http requests hit mongrel  
directly) ??

I’m using mongrel\_rails to start up mongrel (a cluster of 1). The ps  
line looks like:

build 15170 1 0 Feb10 ? 00:00:23 /usr/bin/ruby1.8  
/usr/bin/mongrel\_rails start -d -e dev1 -c /data/pangaea/current -r  
public --user build --group build -p 3000 -P  
/data/pangaea/pid/mongrel.3000.pid -l /data/pangaea/log/mongrel.3000.log

The mongrel\_cluster.yml file looks like:

===================

port: 3000  
servers: 1  
docroot: public  
environment: dev1  
cwd: /data/pangaea/current  
log\_file: /data/pangaea/log/mongrel.log  
pid\_file: /data/pangaea/pid/mongrel.pid  
user: build  
group: build

=================  
The mongrel.log file is not showing each http request; it in fact  
doesn’t seem to show much.

Thanks.
