hey all, I managed to configure a mongrel+apache2 but now I would like to do a mongrel_cluster. For now I have a sites-available/myapp but when it comes to mongrel_cluster I need to set up myapp.common, myapp.proxy_cluster.conf and myapp.proxy_frontend.conf and I couldn't find a tutorial that explain where should those file go. is it in conf.d or sites-available/ or else?
thanx in advance.

Patrick, have you seen:
http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/apache.html
if you put in your apache2 conf somewhere to load a .conf file, and inside that file, if it says to include myapp.common, then it will load up all your directives.
I always drop a line in my httpd.conf that looks like this:
Include /etc/*.conf
That way, any file that ends in .conf inside the /etc/ directory gets loaded by apache.
A capistrano script like this one:
http://svn.highgroove.com:8080/deployment/trunk/apache2_2_mongrel_deploy.rb
will help you setup all those files. Simply run cap setup and point it at a box and it will do all the work for you.
cheers
