Adding mongrel's prefix functionality to spawner Why add mongrels prefix option to spawner?
Capistrano defaults to using a spin script that in the documentation calls spawner to spawn the fcgi or mongrel processes(ref1) . I have worked on getting apache in conjunction with mongrel to run multiple rails applications. According to the mongrel documentation you need to pass the prefix option to mongrel to be able to host multiple rails applications(ref 2). Spawner did not support the passing of the prefix option which lead to the creation of this patch.
