script/process/spawner silently failing

Hi all,

I set up a standard Capistrano deployment on a new host. To start the Mongrels, "script/spin" calls "script/process/spawner
mongrel". It prints a few lines as if everything were normal, however the
mongrels are not started and it doesn't create any files in log or tmp
that would give me a clue on what happened. If I start Mongrel via script/server -e production everything works as
expected. Any hints on where to find debugging output? BTW I'm running 2.1.2.

Thanks,

Tobi

Hello all,

I'm having this exact problem (albeit with rails 2.0.2--I can't upgrade this particular app without breaking things there's no money to fix). Any ideas?

Thanks,

I hope this doesn't double-post.

I have this issue as well. Any ideas?

Hi,

I figured out what the problem was in my case. It turned out that the mongrel gem hadn't installed the mongrel_rails
executable for some reason.
