Rails hangs after inactivity

I'm running ruby 1.8.6, WEBrick 1.3.1, & MySQL. On Localhost:3000. It works fine but if it sits idle for a few hours or more, it will hang and I needs to be restarted.

Read similar problem before, said it has something to do with MySQL timing out or something? He didn't have any more info though, so wondering if anybody can elaborate.

Thanks!

Are there any clues in the logs?

I don't remember exact time it last happened. I'm not familiar with extracting info from log files in RoR. I'll try to start fresh log and recreate.

This will happen if you aren't using the compiled mysql gem.

sudo gem install mysql

and you should see this problem go away.
