hi there, i just installed mongrel 0.32 with my rails app and got this, -bash-3.00$ mongrel\_rails start -p 8081 Running Mongrel server in development mode at 0.0.0.0:8081 Server ready. ERROR(NoMethodError): undefined method `readpartial' for # /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.2/lib/mongrel.rb:351:in`process\_client’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.2/lib/mongrel.rb:331:in `initialize' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.2/lib/mongrel.rb:330:in`timeout’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.2/lib/mongrel.rb:330:in `initialize' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.2/lib/mongrel.rb:327:in`initialize’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.2/lib/mongrel.rb:327:in `new' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.2/lib/mongrel.rb:327:in`initialize’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.2/lib/mongrel.rb:327:in `times' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.2/lib/mongrel.rb:327:in`initialize’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.2/bin/mongrel\_rails:166:in `new' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.2/bin/mongrel_rails:166:in`start\_mongrel’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.2/bin/mongrel\_rails:181:in `run' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.2/lib/mongrel/command.rb:183:in`run’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.2/bin/mongrel\_rails:224 /usr/local/bin/mongrel\_rails:18:in `load’ /usr/local/bin/mongrel\_rails:18 i do use rails partials if that has anything to do with the readpartial (above) method, but i expect it isn’t. also, script/server webrick -p 8100 works fine. thanks for any help BD. ---

Hey, you need Ruby 1.8.4. I’ll see if I can include that in the gem dependency information. The readpartial method is a new method on the Socket class, nothing to do with rails. ---

Is there any way to make it work for 1.8.2? -mental ---

Which bugs are holding you back, if I may ask? It was stripping newlines from folded scalars under some circumstances. I didn’t stay on 1.8.4 long enough to distill it down to a testcase though. (I think \_why knows about the issue at least; he was the one that recommended that I downgrade to 1.8.2 for now) -mental ---

Lest I scare everyone off 1.8.4, I think this is a weird corner case that shouldn’t affect _most_ users. -mental
