hi,

I have a rail app running in development mode, and I usually start it  
by “mongrel\_rails start” in the development directory.

It always run ok when I first start it or even many hours after that.  
However, the next day … it will stop responding, the browser stops  
at “Waiting for reply”, and no page show up.

Any idea how I get more debug information on where it went wrong?

Thanks

Oliver

BTW - logs/mongrel.log and development.log didn’t have any failed  
information.
