For the first time ever (for me :)) I set up a radiant site on a nginx

- mongrel setup ([http://vincenzomaiorano.it](http://vincenzomaiorano.it)) and it works fine, but I  
have a problem when I update the radiant code via capistrano, adding  
an extension or changing some values in environment.rb: my capistrano  
tasks call script/process/reaper after updating the code, thus  
restarting the mongrel processes.

If I visit the site after I update I still find the older version of  
the site running, without the newer extensions. If I kill the mongrel  
processes and then I start them again everything runs fine.

Is this the correct behavior?

Are you using the mongrel\_cluster gem? If so, I would change your  
restart (1.4.1) or deploy:restart (2.x) task to look something like  
this:

task :restart, :roles =\> :app do  
run “cd #{current\_path}; mongrel\_rails cluster::restart -C  
/path/to/your/config”  
end

For debugging, check the PIDs of the relevant processes before/after the  
restart to check that they actually restarted correctly.

I’m launching the mongrels via process/spawner, does it use the  
mongrel\_cluster gem?

The PIDs change after restart.
