This is my first rails project so I am not sure if this is normal but  
for some reason my lighttpd keeps resetting on the hour every hour and  
not restarting correctly.

I am not sure if its supposed to restart like this and it just isnt  
coming back up or if it isnt supposed to reset at all like this…

Here is an excerpt from my fastcgi.crash.log:

Let me know if you need any other output from logs etc…everything else  
looks ok except there are a couple warnings getting spewed out into my  
production.log.

This problem has been troubling me for awhile and I’m sure its something  
really simple…help me out please!

Thanks a lot for reading,
