Hi,

I’ve decided to go with an Apache-Mongrel installation. But I have a  
question. Following the instructions here –  
[http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/](http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/),  
there is a step called “Configuring the cluster” in which they  
instruct doing the following:

[workstation]$ mongrel\_rails cluster::configure -e production \  
-p 8000 \  
-a 127.0.0.1 \  
-N 3 \  
-c /path/to/your/capistrano/setup’s/current

What is "/path/to/your/capistrano/setup’s/current "? I installed  
Capistrano via gem.

Thanks, - Dave

It is the path where you have the rails application.

Mongrel switches to this directory before starting
