I have deployed a rails app in Rails 2.0.2 and the db in mysql is on  
another box. When I have this kind of set up , i keep getting this  
error:

Mongrel::TimeoutError (Mongrel timed out this thread: shutdown):

But if I have the db on the same box as the app, referred to as  
localhost, then I dont have this issue. Can anyone please help me out on  
this?

Thanks in advance.
