I am having trouble getting rake vlad:start to work… here is the  
output:

ivan:04:39 PM:www2.sustainablewebsites.com\> rake vlad:start  
(in /Users/ivan/Sites/www2.sustainablewebsites.com)  
!!! PID file log/mongrel.8000.pid does not exist. Not running?

/var/www/www2.sustainablewebsites.com/current

Starting 2 Mongrel servers…  
httpd not running, trying to start

no listening sockets available, shutting down  
Unable to open logs  
rake aborted!  
execution failed with status 1: ssh [www2.sustainablewebsites.com](http://www2.sustainablewebsites.com)  
apachectl restart

Questions

1. apache is running
2. why are the permissions denied errors happening?
3. if vlad takes mongel\_cluster.yml info, why is it looking on port  
8000? that’s not what I have in mongrel\_cluster.yml

My Deploy.rb:  
set :svn\_user, “sw\_ivanoats”  
set :svn\_password, “my password”

# VLAD the DEPLOYER stuff

set :application, “[www2.sustainablewebsites.com](http://www2.sustainablewebsites.com)”  
set :domain, “[www2.sustainablewebsites.com](http://www2.sustainablewebsites.com)”  
set :deploy\_to, “/var/www/www2.sustainablewebsites.com”  
set :repository, “[http://sw.unfuddle.com/svn/sw\_sw/](http://sw.unfuddle.com/svn/sw_sw/)”

set :mongrel\_port, 5500  
set :mongrel\_servers, 2

With regard to the third question:  
3) ifvladtakes mongel\_cluster.yml info, why is it looking on port  
8000? that’s not what I have in mongrel\_cluster.yml

You may need to re-run rake vlad:setup.  
Double-check the values inside vlad’s shared/mongrel\_cluster.conf;  
this seems to be what actually determines mongrel’s behavior.

Had the same problem 🙂
