Ok, here is the situation:
I need to run a mongrel server on windows server 2003. The application it will be serving is an application that is frozen to rails 1.1.6.
We're using mongrel 1.0 as the web server.
Every 10th request (random, sometimes more sometimes less), either called through ajax or as a normal page request... dies with a 500 error. No logs are available anywhere, as far as the app is concerned it's behaving normally.
We are running mongrel "as a service".
The parameters of the service are as follows: "c:/ruby/bin/mongrel_service.exe" single -e development -p 80 -a 0.0.0.0 -l "log/mongrel.log" -P "log/mongrel.pid" -c "c:/webapps/ myapp" -t 0 -r "public" -n 1024
