In case anyone else comes across this.. The command to create the cluster config file is missing the -c option which tells the cluster where the app is located.

should be something like this:

mongrel_rails cluster::configure -p 8000 -N 3 -c /var/www/my_rails_app

Otherwise, how is the mongrel_cluster script supposed to know where the app is? Maybe the options were different at the time this was written up?

I’m sorry, you seem to have mistaken me for someone who cares.

Ok i’ve got a noobish question (if anybody still visits this place)

What if I want to run multiple application with load-balancer. How can I make a seperate entry for a new application and make sure it gets a new load-balancer so it doesnt end up proxy-ing it to an other application.

A word of note: Ruby 1.8.5 doesnt work with mongrel_cluster 1.0.2

you need to install manually (not apt-get) the 1.8.6 version

I’m running into a problem with the Apache2 setup. Every time I try and access the site I receive a “404 Not Found” page. I’m guessing the rewrite rules are not in effect, but have no clue how to make them work properly.

Any help is much appreciated!
