Hello everyone,

I cannot get mongrel_rails or mongrel_cluster working fine. When I try to to launch one of them, I always get the same error:

# mongrel_rails start -p 8080 -e production -c /var/www/domain.com/ www/current -P /var/www/domain.com/www/current/log/mongrel.pid

** Ruby version is not up-to-date; loading cgi_multipart_eof_fix ** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:8080 ** Starting Rails with production environment... /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load': syntax error on line 33, col 0: ` ' (ArgumentError)         from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load'         from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/ initializer.rb:523:in `database_configuration'         from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/ initializer.rb:228:in `initialize_database'         from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/ initializer.rb:88:in `process'         from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/ initializer.rb:43:in `send'         from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/ initializer.rb:43:in `run'         from /var/www/gn2.fr/www/current/config/environment.rb:20         from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb: 27:in `gem_original_require'          ... 10 levels...         from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.0.1/lib/mongrel/ command.rb:211:in `run'         from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.0.1/bin/ mongrel_rails:243         from /usr/bin/mongrel_rails:16:in `load'         from /usr/bin/mongrel_rails:16

I am using ruby 1.8.5, rails 1.2.3, mongrel 1.0.1, and I tried mongrel_cluster 1.0.2 and 0.2.1.

Do you know what I could have wrong?

Thank you very much in advance ! Adrien.

check the mongrel log to see if it has any more information... also check that your database.yml doesn't have a syntax error

Ok, I remembered that I installed libmysql-ruby1.8 today on my server. I remembered that when you told me to check my database.yml. I tried to uninstall it, and now, everything works !

However I don't really understand the link between this lib and mongrel...

Thank you very much for your help ! Adrien.
