I am getting the following message in my development.log after  
installing mongrel\_service, installing the service and starting the  
service.

DEPRECATION WARNING: config.action\_view.cache\_template\_extensions  
option has been deprecated and has no affect. Please remove it from  
your config files. See [Ruby on Rails — A web-app framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.](http://www.rubyonrails.org/deprecation) for  
details. (called from send at C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/  
rails-2.1.0/lib/initializer.rb:455)

After checking [Ruby on Rails — A web-app framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.](http://www.rubyonrails.org/deprecation) I am still  
searching for illumination.

the mongrel\_service gem did upgrade mongrel to 1.1.5

The bit about [http://www.rubyonrails.org/deprecation](http://www.rubyonrails.org/deprecation) is a generic  
message and possibly not relevant. Other than that it should be pretty  
clear: that setting no longer has any effect so you might as well just  
remove it.

That’s all well and good but I’m not sure what is responsible. Line  
455 in inilializer.rb doesn’t actually call that it calls a value  
passed to it from somewhere else. I was kind of hoping I wouldn’t  
have to trace it by hand.

Just look for cache\_template\_extensions in the files in config

Thanks Fred,

I realize it was only a deprecation warning but I was hoping it was  
what was causing mongrel\_service to not work. Back to the drawing  
board I guess.
