Mongrel Timeout?

Server Mongrel
1

Hi,

I am using a railsapp to call an external app and print some
barcode-labels.
My problem is, after a while there seems to be a timeout. Then I need to
stop the Mongrel-Server and restart it.
Below you can see the error message, when i stop the server.

Has somebody seen this before?

Greetings,
Oli

I would have expected you to be getting the following on load:
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/daemons-1.0.9/lib/daemons/daemonize.rb:103:in
`fork’: fork() function is unimplemented on this machine
(NotImplementedError)

The “-d” is not actually supported on Windows, thus the warning:

** WARNING: Win32 does not support daemon mode.

Have you patched something to get this far?

Hi,
thank you for your help.
I didn’t patch anything.

There isn’t much load on the server. Its something about a call to a
label,
every 20 or 30 seconds. Threre is enough Ram, that’s not the problem.
Cpu
power is enough. I simply don’t know why it stops working.

In an older Mongrel version the error message was, Thread is to old,
killing.

Incidentally that “no method error ‘w’” is already fixed in trunk; we
need some more test coverage of an unrelated change before we can make
a release though.
